If you really want to learn about boat ownership and a lot of what is involved...I would recommend visiting this site: thehulltruth.com. You can search by topic, brand, issue etc.
As far as a Bayliner with a Force outboard? Would not be on my recommeded list. The Force is an old 2-stroke with Rube Golberg electrics (electronics would assume too much here). There have been more than a few that have been unbolted and are making reasonable artificial reefs today...
One thing to keep in mind, regardless of the size, THEY ARE NOT TOYS! A safe boating course is a start. Once completed, it does not hurt (not even your pride) to get a lesson or two on proper operation. The last thing us power boaters need is another jamoke (or blow boat) getting in the way.
