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 vs. A powerboat built by Bayliner the Vr5 is a bowrider vessel. The big story here is the way Bayliner is looking at these boats and also how they are constructed. 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.

Its freedom family and incomparable fun. A second benefit to the self-bailing liner is that when you take the VR5 home for the day you can hose it off and all the water will drain overboard.

I will say they are sharp seems to me they have come a long ways. Max Horsepower 250 HP. Which definitely suggests that the 150hp motor is the way to go.

The VR5 is the smaller model replacing the 185BR and the 195BR the 190BR OB lives on at a lower price point and the VR6 is the larger boat that will slot in where the departing 215BR used to reside. Though we were unable to do any comparison testing of old vs new we are inclined to agree with Mercury following our test of this purpose-designed marine engine paired with the Bayliner VR5. Come check it out along with our other Bayliners at Anglers Marine in Supply NC and our other loca.

I was told by the dealer owners that New Brunswick owns Bayliner which also owns sea ray and Boston whaler which seem to be good brands. Well I thought I had narrowed my choice to the 21 H20 but decided to go and check out these Bayliner vr5 vr6. 2001 Bayliner Capri 175 - Approx 500 Hours - 30L Mercruiser.

Regardless the 250hp 45L MerCruiser is certainly a worthy successor to the retiring automotive based MerCruiser models offering improved and smoother performance lower emissions and better fuel. The 2016 Bayliner VR5 is a completely new bowrider which not only replaces the Bayliner 185 but also sets a new bar for all of this companys new modelsThe VR5 is built stronger handles waves better and has a much more advanced design than any previous runabout of this size built by Bayliner. The VR5 builds on Bayliners proven V-bottom bowrider heritage while adding form AND function.
