I will appreciate to hear from individuals how owns 2007 Bayliner Discovery 246 cabin cruiser.?
I'm thinking to purchase one of this boat, but I have been told this brand had some issues and resale value is very low, therefore I need some help from individual owners or from people who has knowledge about boating.It looks like a great boat for the price.
Thanking in advance to all those individuals who can help me to make the right decision.
Bayliner built an ENTRY level quality boat,that was generally under powered,and constructed as cheaply as possible.They always looked good in the show room,but most owners quickly found out that( you get what you paid for).There for the craft has very little resale or trade in value.I would suggest that you have a qualified Tec. inspect the craft,then you can decide if this boat is right for you.

Oh my god the guy before me is living in the 80's. Here is the real scoop. In late 1990, early 1991, Bayliner was purchased by brunswick marine. Before this I agree they were not the greatest boat. Once Brunswick purchased them they brought over the Sea Ray engineers to bring them up to speed. Today Bayliner, Maxum, and Sea Ray are built in the same plants. Even more, Brunswick makes 90% of the parts "in-house" So the same parts that you find on Baja, Boston Whaller, Maxum, Trophy, etc are used on all. Not only that but Brunswick also owns Mercury Marine.
When it comes to re-sale look at it this way……ALL BOATS loose the same each year. I don't care what anyone says. If you don't agree then look at it this way EVERYONE has heard of Bayliner. So that first time boat buyer is going to reconize that name over say Mariah. But let me get back on track………if you loose 20% the first year and 15% the next and so on here is what you get……
Bayliner= $60,000
Four Winns= $100,000
After the first year you lost $12,000 with the Bayliner
After the first year you lost $20,000 with the Four Winns
Once again Bayliner might not have all the "eye candy" a Four Winns has, but you have just as much fun and you didn't piss your money away
That 246 Discovery is a sweet boat for both fishing and cruising. My brother bought one in Michigan for a great price off of ebay and LOVES it. That's how I know so much about Bayliner and the boat, we did our research for almost 2 years and I have been a boater for 28 years.
If you have any more questions feel free to contact me

The guy is right. Bayliner may not have the eye candy quality on some of the furnishings but…let me tell you I purchased a 185 Bowrider last year with 135hp and the boat is great!!!! I’ve had 7 adults in the boat and one or two in the water either skiing or tubing all day. Even after all day water sports we use about 1/4 tank of gas. Tubing all day on a three day weekend and still have 1/4 fuel left in tank. The boat rides beautifully..planes excellent and with the 135 mercury engine you can’t beat it. I only paid 16,000 for the boat new with a complete canvas camping enclosure, snap on covers, life jackets, anchors, rescue kit, and the trailer. Brunswick has done wonders for the Bayliner line of water crafts and I can’t wait to trade the boat in maybe next month at the Detroit Boat Show where I purchased the boat last year for a cuddy cabin so we can camp near the islands on Lake Erie.
