Would you buy a 1993 Bayliner 2556?
Q. I'm looking at buying a saltwater boat for fishing on weekend long trips. The bayliner 2556 has everything I'm looking for in a boat, with room to fish on the deck, fly bridge and comfy cabin space. Is the bayliner boat reliable and an all around sea worthy boat that doesn't break down over the years? I've heard a lot of people say they're junk. What can you tell me about the bayliner 2556? good and/or bad

A. WOW... I think you have come up with another great oxymoron... I mean we have all heard of "military - intelligence" and jumbo - shrimp" but you have just added "saltwater - Bayliner". Now that's a good one. Bayliner absolutely does not make a blue water or saltwater boat. A true blue water vessel (or saltwater as you call it) the same size and shape with the exact same amenities as that Bayliner you are looking at will be 2 to 3 times heaver - and thus, much more solid, and safer, and last much much longer - not to mention the fact that it will be much more comfortable. And yes! To most any long time experienced boater that knows boats - they are junk! Bayliners are the very first to break down, the very first to… [cont.]
