Performance and Handling

Powered by a reliable 150 HP Mercury Outboard engine, the VR6 provides an excellent balance of fuel efficiency and spirited performance. The Outboard configuration maximizes cockpit space and simplifies maintenance. Bayliner’s innovative AftAdvantage™ design extends the running surface further aft, enhancing stability at rest and creating extra usable space inside. With a 33-gallon fuel capacity, the VR6 has ample range for a full day of fun on the lake or coastal waterways. Its single outboard propulsion offers intuitive handling and responsiveness, making docking and navigating crowded areas simple and stress-free for any operator.

Layout and Comfort

Step aboard and experience the VR6's impressive layout. The Solid White hull keeps the aesthetic clean and classic. The expanded BeamForward™ bow features a deeply cushioned seating area, perfectly complemented by a Bow Filler Cushion to create a large sun pad—an instant customer favorite. The cockpit seating is versatile, including a comfortable Helm Bucket Seat for the captain and generous L-shaped seating aft. Included is a Bimini Top with Boot, providing essential shade during sunny afternoons. Access is easy via the Short Windshield with Center Opening Panel, and the overall 8 ft beam ensures stability and a roomy feel throughout.

Storage, Amenities, and Upgrades

Storage is abundant and thoughtfully placed throughout the 22-foot bowrider, including under-seat compartments and an in-floor locker for skis and gear, ensuring a clutter-free deck. The convenience is enhanced by a full Stereo System to keep the good times rolling. This particular model includes the attractive Stainless Steel Upgrade Package, which adds premium accents to the grab handles, cup holders, and rub rail, elevating the boat's look and durability. The Ski Tow Pylon is a critical upgrade for effortlessly pulling tubers, wakeboarders, and water skiers, highlighting the boat's excellent versatility for all watersports.
