Telling someone they do not have a clue is not respectful, let’s move on. A 1997 boat is an ongoing project and the ad demonstrate that to anyone that lots of maintenance has been done and lots will need to be done. My brother has owned a 2000 bayliner and done more recreational boating than 99% of people, boating 12 months a year. It’s had its maintenance issues just like my friends and I who have replaced outboards, except his leg and block have never been replaced. Yes there are people who have had terrible I/O issues. I do my best not to slam BC boats unless they are laughable and or in the USA since I know there are members on here and if not someone knows the owner.
