Make sure it has enough power as some of the older models were serverly under powered most of those had Volvo Pentas in them. A friend of mine has one that is at least 12 years old and still going strong his has a V8 for power. He bought it new and has taken excellent care of it and it shows. They are a very nice boat for Erie when powered properly. Most of the newer ones are powered just fine. Of course if it is an OB then you have more options.

Survey
I would spend the money to get a boat survey/inspection done if you are serious. I had a 27' Sportcraft, used to run salmon charters in Michigan. The DNR did the inspections/surveys and were always complaining about the Bayliner's having problems with stringers and transoms being bad. Just a suggestion.

This is our boat. It's a 2000 with a 150 horse Merc. Outboard still looks and runs brand new. Plus we made a lot of upgrades. But never have had a problem.

bayliner
I checked into a bayliner with cuddy. I chose to buy a caravelle walk around instead. I didn't want the cuddy and I am happy with the walk around.

We had a 2005 Bayliner Trophy 2052 with 4.3 Mercruiser. We liked the boat very much, easy to maintain and looked good. Sold it in 2012 to get a bigger boat. Not once did we have to take it back to the dealer for repairs. Had all the power we needed top end about 38 mph.
