22 Xstar-S

The Anthem being aluminum would be worth more as scrap than the heyday. Again, that’s only if they were free.


Currently boatless

Question, If Heyday was built by Bryant (now defunct as Correct Craft closed them down), SeaRay, or Boston Whaler instead of Bayliner, you think more people would buy them or not clown on them so hard? I have been in the new H22, actually the exact boat posted on here. While it is easy to say I would rather have a Max for 10k or so more, there are a lot of people that will buy the H22. Was told they are only building 150 of them up front, and already have pre orders for half of them. And the rear seats, yes legal under way as the hull is built around them, so they are technically in the boat, and everyone loved them. But I will be keeping Ole Ron for a long time, lol

Bayliner is absolutely a black eye on Heyday.

Poor quality reputations are hard thing to overcome in any industry.

I would not want to have to explain or prove to a lake rent a cop that the rear seats are legal.

H22 is a huge improvement over the waketractors.

Even on the new model the quality, fit and finish still seems pretty subpar. Boat looks aside, for the price they’re asking, no way I could live with myself looking at all the slop and wrinkles in the upholstery. Even in the little Natique G-wanna-be dash there are hideous wrinkles. The foam looks to be made for a child to sit on. My 230 lb fat ass would destroy that in no time. No way that thing is a $90k boat lol.

Larry, Bayliner is a subsidiary of US Marine, owned by Brunswick Boat Group than has a huge portfolio of boats, including SeaRay and Whaler. When they bought Heyday from the Dorton's, which owned Bryant and former top level exec of Mastercraft, they placed them in the US Marine umbrella for marketing and sales purposes as Brunswick had shut down the higher level Maxum line for US Marine. I know a lot of the folks that were there in the early days, really like what they are trying to do. The wake and wave were solid. If you don't check every box for boat and trailer, you can get 1 well equipped for around 80ish. But at that point, would still rather have a 2 year old Mojo with warranty left. Not everyone thinks like that though, lol.

Then why don’t they market it as a Bryant Heyday or BW heyday?

Seems like a mistake to use the Bayliner name.

They sold Heyday to Brunswick, Bryant to Correct Craft. Then started another company that builds high end off shore fishing boats. They don't use the Bayliner name, but everyone knows US Marine also has Bayliner. I would say they got lumped into them as they already had a dealer network and national infrastructure. PS, Bayliner sells a ton of boats, lol. For wake boat purists, we aren't buying Yamaha, Heyday, Anthem, Surf-toon and others, But plenty of people will like them and buy them just the same.

Heyday is listed on bayliner.com

Yeah, and somehow they are still selling loads of them. Lol. I agree, would have them under SeaRay or another brand, but guess those bean counters get paid well for a reason, lol.

More the power to them. Heyday is about the only brand wakeboat I haven’t seen in the wild.
