Bayliners do seem to catch a lot of heat. However there are a bunch of them out there and being that on the most part they seem to represent decent value and that many of those boats are entry level boats it seems that many of the owners are also entry level boaters. I think that, and the fact that they are so recognizable is the main reason why Bayliners seem to be involved in so many mishaps.

P.S. G.L.U. nice images, good on ya.
