The promotion is basically a re-write, and very similar, to the last promotion
that Bayliner had that ended March 31st .... "Meet The Bayliners"

They want to sell the their product, and yet restrict the offer to certain model
boats instead of offering it across the board.

Under "Meet The Bayliners", the 195 Classic had a $500.00 incentive. I got
NO incentive when we purchased the new 195 Capri, and it seems it is not
offered here either, and the same goes for the 325.
For a manufactuer that wants to sell product, it should offer some incentive
for ALL it's product, not just select models.

We purchased the 2005 195 Capri Sport because I did received and excellent
deal, but the little incentive kicker would have been nice also.

Both offers had/have the following:
2005 - 195 Classic = $500.00 incentive / 2005 - 195 Capri = $0 incentive .... :cry:

I notice they left the 245 out? Seems like they'd be great with those.

Still a pretty good deal if you're buying new I suppose.

The "Meet The Bayliners" program that ended March 31st did offer a good
incentive on the 245 .... a $2500.00 "Ready-Set-Go Certificate", plus an extra
year warranty on the Mercury engine .... :roll:
