Bayliner Boats has announced the debut of two new V22 craft – the V22 outboard and V22I sterndrive models.
The new V22 series succeeds Bayliner’s VR6 Bowrider Series, which has sold more than 4,000 units over the past decade.
The new models, built in Bayliner’s Knoxville, Tennessee, US, facility, have a sculpted modern hull, a more spacious deck layout, expanded storage, larger fuel capacity and a capacity of up to 12 passengers
“For more than a decade, the VR Series has been at the heart of Bayliner,” said Vittorio Bichucher, president, Venture Boat Group.
“The V22 carries that legacy forward, built on what our customers have told us they love, with the space, capability, and refinement today’s boating families expect.
“It’s a boat built to compete confidently in the 21- to 23-foot segment and we look forward to introducing the series.”
Creating family memories
Key features of the V22 Series include a wider beam than the outgoing VR6 that opens up the cockpit, with L-shaped lounge seating and twin captain’s bucket seats with 180-degree swivel.
The models incorporate in-floor, under-seat and bow storage, standard courtesy lighting, an integrated cooler under the helm seat and phone charging ports at the helm, starboard, and bow.
In addition, the V22 outboard has a large sunpad with a storage compartment beneath.
“Bayliner is about getting more people on the water and creating family memories, and the all-new V22 sits at the forefront of that mission, explained John Barbier, director of design and strategy, Venture Boat Group.
“Every element of the layout, from the thoughtful touches to the overall simplicity of the experience, was designed with the modern boating family in mind.
“This boat reflects our team’s belief that boating should be easy, accessible and fun and we believe our dealers and customers will feel that the moment they step aboard the V22.”
