Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bayliner 249 2005 vs Bayliner 3270 1987 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bayliner 249 2005 vs Bayliner 3270 1987 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 3270 1987 tops out at 135 hp. Engine specs for the Bayliner 249 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bayliner 249 2005 carries 75 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Bayliner 3270 1987. 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 3270 1987 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Bayliner 249 2005 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 3270 1987 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 3270 1987 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 32,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner 249 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
