Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bayliner 160 OB 2011 vs Bayliner 192 DIS 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Bayliner 160 OB 2011 against a deep vee Bayliner 192 DIS 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Bayliner 192 DIS 2010 measures 19,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bayliner 160 OB 2011 at 16,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bayliner 192 DIS 2010 tips the scales at 2 515 lbs — 1 183 lbs less than the Bayliner 160 OB 2011 at 1 332 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 190 hp, the Bayliner 192 DIS 2010 has a 100-hp advantage over the Bayliner 160 OB 2011'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 192 DIS 2010 carries 23 gallons versus 18 gallons in the Bayliner 160 OB 2011. 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 192 DIS 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Bayliner 160 OB 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 192 DIS 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 192 DIS 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 19,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner 160 OB 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
