For the Bayliner owners and potential owners, remember to disconnect the boat from the trailer for launching. You don't want to be associated with the  "blond in the Bayliner story", LOL

Nener heard anything good about Force motors. In fact a # of years back a friend of mine had to have a major overhaul to a Force 125hp that was just out of warranty. They sold the boat a few years later on consignment. The broker told them that If the Bayliner had any motor but the Force they could have asked more for it. 

I have decided against looking further into this boat. With all the info gained here about the boat and motor as well as from a couple of other places, I am going to stay away from it. Thanks a lot for all the help. The search continues. 8-)

Didn't want to chime in, but now that you decided against it might as well have some fun.  Bayliner boats are seen often down here in Florida and the inside joke on them in the "marine industry" is the are called Bayliner for a reason...............................................................................................They are found lining the bottom of the bay  ;D
