Bayliner 225 2004 vs Bayliner GT 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bayliner 225 2004 vs Bayliner GT 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 GT 2009 tops out at 135 hp. Engine specs for the Bayliner 225 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Bayliner 225 2004 and Bayliner GT 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
