Bayliner 642 Overnighter: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Bayliner 642 is a versatile 21-foot 4-inch recreational boat designed for practical all-around use. With a beam of 8 feet 5 inches and a dry weight of 3,084 pounds, it offers a balance of size and performance suitable for family outings and casual cruising. Powered by a MerCruiser 4.3 liter MPI engine delivering 220 horsepower, the boat is engineered to provide a responsive and enjoyable experience on the water.

Exterior Design and Operational Features

The Bayliner 642 features a sleek, modern aesthetic highlighted by striking skylights on the foredeck, contemporary hull graphics, and sculptured reliefs along the topsides. The swim platform extends seven and a half feet in length, providing ample space for water access. Six six-inch cleats are strategically placed around the boat, exceeding the typical number found in this class and enhancing mooring flexibility. The anchor locker is spacious and deep, accessible via molded steps and a handrail, though the addition of an anchor rode cleat near the roller stock would be beneficial. The engine compartment opens aft with support struts and safety straps, offering excellent accessibility for maintenance. The hydraulic steering system, including the reservoir and pump, is located aft to port, while the engine battery is positioned beneath a hatch to starboard for ease of service.

Helm and Cockpit Layout

The helm station is ergonomically designed with a tilting wheel suitable for both seated and standing operation. The dashboard includes space for a moving map display, enhancing navigation capabilities. The bucket seat features a sturdy bolster, adjustable fore and aft, and swivels a full 360 degrees for versatile use. The cockpit depth averages 33 inches, with storage compartments beneath the port seating and a lift-out bin aft. The wraparound bench seat in the stern accommodates an optional table, creating a comfortable area for socializing. The companion seat backrest is adjustable, converting into a leaning post, chaise lounge, or spotter’s seat, while the aft sun pad can be propped up to form a chaise lounge. The upholstery is finished in complementary earth tones with stylish stitching and piping, contributing to a refined ambiance.

Interior Living Spaces

Below deck, the Bayliner 642 offers a cabin with 52 inches of headroom illuminated by two overhead skylights and equipped with opening port lights featuring screens for ventilation. The cabin includes a hideaway portable head beneath the entrance, providing convenient facilities for day trips. Adjacent to the companion console is a sink for easy access, and a shower wand is located aft near the walkthrough. Storage for the Bimini top is cleverly integrated under the engine hatch, ensuring that shade is always available when needed.

Power and Performance

During testing with two people aboard and 15 gallons of fuel, the Bayliner 642 demonstrated commendable performance. The MerCruiser 4.3 liter MPI engine, paired with an Alpha One lower unit and a 14.15-inch diameter by 21-pitch three-bladed aluminum propeller, achieved a top speed of 42.9 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM. Optimal cruising was recorded at 3,000 RPM, yielding 26.1 miles per hour while consuming 6.9 gallons per hour, resulting in a range of approximately 112 statute miles. Increasing the throttle to 3,500 RPM increased speed to 31 miles per hour with an 8.8 gallons per hour fuel burn and a 105-mile range. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 6.7 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 7.6 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 11.3 seconds. The bow rise was moderate at 12 degrees, maintaining clear horizon visibility. Handling is smooth with a running angle of 5 degrees, and throttle response allows for precise speed adjustments. Turns at cruise speed are stable, with expected speed reduction during hard turns that can be compensated by slight throttle increases.

Conclusion

The Bayliner 642 presents itself as a nimble, practical, and enjoyable boat suitable for a variety of recreational activities. Its thoughtful design, ease of maintenance, comfortable cockpit and interior spaces, combined with solid performance metrics, make it an attractive option for those seeking a reliable and affordable day boat. Overall, it balances functionality and style without compromising on performance or comfort.
