Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bayliner 245 2006 vs Bayliner 3270 1985 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bayliner 245 2006 vs Bayliner 3270 1985 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 245 2006 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Bayliner 3270 1985 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bayliner 245 2006 carries 64 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Bayliner 3270 1985. 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 245 2006 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Bayliner 3270 1985 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 245 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 245 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner 3270 1985 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
