Love this thread. We bought a 4788 after owning a 2855. The wife of a friend with an upscale 26 footer offered to trade us straight up for our significantly older 2855. We're talking an $80,000 difference in acquisition costs. We sold the 2855 and bought a 4788.
We love our 4788. Beautiful design, well-built, and a wonderful Pilothouse to run from.
I am in the insurance business. Car insurance varies based on frequency of losses, costs to repair, and lots of other variables. We also insure boats and yachts. There is absolutely no cost difference to insure a Bayliner versus any other boat of a similar insured value. If Bayliners were more likely to sink, there would be a difference. They aren't and there isn't.
