Bayliner 225 2004 vs Bayliner 340 Cruiser 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bayliner 225 2004 vs Bayliner 340 Cruiser 2009 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Bayliner 340 Cruiser 2009 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Bayliner 225 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bayliner 340 Cruiser 2009 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Bayliner 225 2004 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 340 Cruiser 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 340 Cruiser 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 35,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner 225 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
