Four Winns / Bayliner / Sting Ray / Or......

[fishin98]

As long as the Bayliner isn't from the 80's or early 90's. Quality was very poor.

That is true...also many people bought them because of the CHEAP pricing, then did not take care of them. The BOC (Baylinerownersclub) has numerous instances of this and people rebuilding them. The NEW 2016 Element F18 is going to be priced out with a 90HP right at or just below $20K, heck a standard Element with a 60HP is between 14-15K hard to beat that.

If going new and looking for an ob you may also want to check out Glastron. Before I bought my used Crownline I started too price out 18 footers with outboards. I think it really depends on your use. I decided I wanted s bigger boat to handle the IL river better.
