Bayliner VR6 Bowrider 2022

Bayliner’s VR6 is sporty, trailerable and full of family-friendly amenities.

When you first approach Bayliner’s new VR6, a 22-foot bowrider with the real estate to actually ride in the bow. Bayliner calls it Beam Forward design, which keeps the 8-foot beam traveling forward rather than tapering to a fine point as is typical of the genre, with its higher freeboard both in the bow and the main cockpit, which helps passengers stay secure no matter where they sit on the boat. The bow cockpit also converts to a sun lounge with an optional filler cushion. While carrying the beam forward typically results in converting a runabout to a deck boat, Bayliner does an excellent job of maintaining the sporty lines of the VR6. Along the waterline, the bow still tapers to a V under the deck and, rather than employing the flat running surface of a deck boat, still operates on a steep 20 degrees of dead rise at the transom.

Other details aboard the sporty and trailerable VR6 is the most notable – self-bailing cockpit, the ability to shed water without the use of bilge pumps is an important safety feature.

Seating in the main cockpit is U-shaped with rear-facing seats to both port and starboard, great for spotter duty when towing tubers and skiers or just to watch the wake during a jaunt around the lake, an optional Xtreme tow tower/bimini, wakeboard racks.

A changing room built into the port console and optional portable head. The deep sided freeboard secures passengers and additional aft-facing seating for socializing.

Wrap-around windshield and open centre and walk through to bow seating.

VR6 engine options with the base Mercury Model: 200 hp MerCruiser sterndrive or  upgraded to 250 hp 4.5L MerCruiser and now the 300 hp 6.2L .
