Opinions on the New Bayliner model

[Whitelighter]

Bad photo. It is actually 7.55m

Ok, so not the biggest 24 in the world, but it is Swedish and is a proper walk around. Basic petrol boat is about £37k

37k is cheap for a 24'+ boat. Cant really see it well enough to voice an opinion but I get your point.

Found some bigger piccies here. That is for a 4.3 on SX drive. Decent spec with D3-160hp and some teak/blue hull is closer to £50k.

Doesnt see to be a lot of deck space ie. sunbathing space.

Apparantly each dealer has to deal with Bayliner direct rather than through Aquatic and on different commercial terms. Several old dealers have therefore given up the brand. I bought a new Bayliner last year and the boat is fine.
Beware though, customer service and ontime delivery could be a big issue, see my post from a few weeks back!!

Ah, I see what you and Jez mean - apologies /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Agree that £54k for the 24fter is not so cheap. How they can justify that when the 288 is at a starting price of around £45k is beyond me. Fairly typical of the UK I suppose.
Also think that the 24fter looks peculiar - sort of mix of old and new lines.

Agree with Tom.
The "New Discovery?"
Is it for The Lake?
Kida looks like 1970's "Cutting edge" ter Me!

And it does not look in any way like a 1975 Princess 25.

 

[Whitelighter]

Don't you start - we'll have HLB over here next with his blindness and denial.

But yes, you're right, it does.

 

[Alrob]

in my personal opinion it looks "crap"

sorry to anyone offended

 

[landlockedpirate]

I'm a Bayliner fan, but its time that they started updating their designs. I'm sure its great for what it is but it is very like the 30 year old Princess above.

IMHO of course.

Yes, just to but in, I would not have one of those in my bath tub. Are these real boats or just pretend. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Would there be any room? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Haydn,

These Scandi boats need to be seen. I was never impressed with the Aquadors until I saw one and felt the quality and design. They are, however, for the more descerning palate so that does rule a lot of people out! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think the range has potential and will hold back my views until I have seen one in the Flesh!

Cheers

Looks very dated to me. Not enough room for 4 fishing & not sporty at all.
