In my research lots of folks ask about jet vs prop - I just thought Id give a quick comparison of what I saw yesterday.
Bayliner vr5 inboard vs outboard. Research 2018 Bayliner Marine Corp Bow Rider Series VR5 BR standard equipment used boats price craft specs. Motorbåd - Både sælges Bayliner VR5 Inboard 2021 EUR 48200 Scanboat. 2020 2018 2016Bayliner VR5 Bowrider.
The VR5 builds on Bayliners proven V-bottom bowrider heritage while adding form AND function. With most modern engines whether it be inboard or outboard. The vessel grows exponentially giving you more room to move store all of your equipment life vests lines toys ice chest etc and increases the rough water capability and overall comfortability.
In the afternoon a Bayliner VR5 w115 OB and a VR6 w150 OB roughly comparable in length to the Yamahas. Forward the boat employs Bayliners category-leading BeamForward design which carries the full 8 feet of beam further forward in the boat than has been traditionally done. Also being aware of.
The outboard powered boat got only 31 MPG. The MSRP for this new model is a mere 23999. First every two feet in a boat is a big deal.
Outboards on the other hand last about 750 hours on average. Note that the outboard boat went 10 MPH faster at wide-open throttle but matched at an equal speed the stern drive proved more efficient. And that list cost includes a 115-hp Mercury outboard and a single-axel trailer with brakes and a swing-away tongue.
So the inboard option means less maintenance nearly half. These boats were built with a fiberglass deep-vee. The fuel economy is comparable.
