LeakyBucket Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 What year did Trophy split from Bayliner? Did Bayliner continue making Trophy brand boats after the split?Does anyone know when the Bayliner Trophy line stopped using wood stringers? Or did they?Thanks!

SeaCatMich Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Trophy was split off as a separate brand starting with the 2002 model year.From some research I did a few years ago, the consensus is that is when Trophy went to a greenwood XL transom with a lifetime guarantee against rot with 10 years labor coverage. They also went to a one piece foam filled fiberglass stringer grid. Some of these changes may have been done in 2000 or 2001 before the official split occurred.

LeakyBucket Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks. The boats I'm looking at are pre-2002. I'm very paranoid of stringer rot in older fiberglass boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
