You get what you pay for. Forget the Bayliner, not a good resale value. SeaRay or the Chap.! Then you'll have a quality boat!

No Barfliners, you get what you pay for. The Chapperal was very interesting to me when I bought a Rinker, both had all I wanted but the Rinker had a better warrantee. If Rinkers are available in your area, check them out, you may be very pleased. Good Luck.
