I've owned sea rays but not a Bayliners. Both are owned by Brunswick so given some of the overlap in target markets with some of their product lineups why are SR's so pricey in comparison?
ive read other blogs in my research but no one can justify the incremental costs of "better hardware" or "better gelcoat" etc. besides the bulk of the cost in boats that are similar is found in production/manufacturing costs not so much in materials.
I mean how much more chop strand or woven roving can a 21ft bowrider have over another built by same parent company?
Im starting to believe this is more a function of product/marketing segmentation than it is about quality.
Im all ears.
