Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Bayliner 315 Cruiser 2013 measures 30,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 11,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bayliner 190 Bowrider 2013 at 19,4 feet (2013).

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.
