Matching a modified vee Bayliner 160 OB 2010 against a deep vee Bayliner 195 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Bayliner 160 OB 2010 at 16,2 ft versus Bayliner 195 2010 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bayliner 160 OB 2010 tips the scales at 1 289 lbs — 987 lbs more than the Bayliner 195 2010 at 302 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 260 hp, the Bayliner 195 2010 has a 170-hp advantage over the Bayliner 160 OB 2010's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bayliner 195 2010 carries 35 gallons versus 18 gallons in the Bayliner 160 OB 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bayliner 195 2010 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Bayliner 160 OB 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 195 2010 could be the deciding factor.
