Thinking of buying a bayliner discovery 195 vs challenger 180 sea doo. Thoughts?
I have never owned a Bayliner or a Challenger... But this I do know...
In the past 40 years of hanging out at Marinas, owning boats, boating, and for the last 10 years living on a boat... Bayliners have to be the most frequent Brand of boat that needs fixing. I have seen their hulls cracked and split wide open, decking ripped both up or down the seams, and just about everything you would "not" expect in a boat to go wrong with it.
So there... you ask for "thoughts" this is mine. In fact, if Bayliner themselves gave me their biggest, best, most expensive boat made... I would be polite and appreciative... but as soon as they were not looking - I would strip that boat of everything mechanical, and give the actual boat away.
Happy & Safe Boating!
