Bayliner has such a reputation even on this side of the big pond :-)
For example if you compare a similar boat from Bayliner and say,
SeaRay, the latter can have 50% heavier construction. The extra weight
goes to a stronger, stiffer hull, which you will need if you are likely
to do aggressive riding in rough conditions. If you mostly boat in
sheltered bays in fair weather, a Bayliner would probably do just
fine... but in a rougher usage the hull would gradually get weaker over
the years, as I understand it.

I suppose others can give a bunch of examples on what "quality" means
when talking boats.
