Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bayliner 245 SB 2010 vs Bayliner VR 5 OB 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bayliner 245 SB 2010 vs Bayliner VR 5 OB 2022 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 260 hp, the Bayliner 245 SB 2010 has a 110-hp advantage over the Bayliner VR 5 OB 2022's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bayliner 245 SB 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Bayliner VR 5 OB 2022 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 245 SB 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 245 SB 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 24,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner VR 5 OB 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
