Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 vs Bayliner 266 DIS 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 against a deep vee Bayliner 266 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 266 DIS 2010 measures 25,6 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 at 19,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bayliner 266 DIS 2010 tips the scales at 6 354 lbs — 3 960 lbs less than the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 at 2 394 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 Bayliner 266 DIS 2010 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bayliner 266 DIS 2010 carries 81 gallons versus 32 gallons in the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013. 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 190 Bowrider 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Bayliner 266 DIS 2010 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner 266 DIS 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
