The Bayliner ads are part of a new initiative here at OSO. We (now) believe that all manufacturers of fiberglass boats should be equally represented. After all, how much difference could there be in performance, construction, rough water handling and longevity if they're all made out of basically the same stuff.
OK, that's as far as I could get without loosing my lunch. We now take you back to our regularly scheduled program - already in progress.

Saw a "how they do it" episode on them.....and a follow up "mega factories".....
They reported in the episode that they had the M O S T advanced manufacturing facility of all other boat makers. I chuckled at the notion....(Hecho in Mehico)
Then.......
They took the camera crew on a tour of the factory.
Chuckle time was over....
Try and find one of those episodes on the net....you will be amazed....
Their efficiency make them ultra cheap at retail. They use crap for hardware...but the hulls are within 1% of each other...

I've been riding motorcycle's since i was 10 years old , mostly Honda's but now ride a Yamaha Raider . My high school buddy started riding after high school , only Harleys . He will not ride with me because i ride a Raider not a Harley but yet on the lake he rafts his 4 banger Bayliner up to my Warlock Cat . He does not have a clue and i won't tell him . See , i'm a pric , but i'm a nice pric and believe as long as your riding or floating i will not look down my nose at you .

I worked for a dealer in Omaha in 1989-90, they shifted gears from Wellcraft & Formula to Bayliner & Bass Tracker because sales were down, We rigged every boat we got in through the winter & when spring came we could not keep anything on the lot they sold so fast. 17 ft bow rider out the door add fuel & go boating for 9 grand couldnt beat it but the hulls were so thin you could shine a flashlite right through.
