This 2024 Bayliner VR5 is powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS. The VR5 builds on Bayliner's proven V-bottom bowrider heritage, while adding form AND function. Forward, the boat employs Bayliner's category-leading BeamForward™ design, which carries the full 8 feet of beam further forward in the boat than has been traditionally done. The self-bailing cockpit features Bayliner's new AftAdvantage™ design that increases the aft seating area by extending it to the aft most point of the running surface, then adding the swim platform at the end of the running surface.

Bayliner VR5: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Bayliner VR5 represents a comprehensive redesign of the previously offered affordable 185 bow rider, delivering increased interior space, length, capacity, fuel storage, and overall comfort. This model extends beyond the typical 18-foot boat dimensions, featuring a length overall of 20 feet 4 inches and a beam of 8 feet, while maintaining a competitive price point comparable to smaller boats.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior layout of the VR5 emphasizes spaciousness and versatility. The bow area offers a generous 45-inch-long lounge seating arrangement, with a width starting at 5 feet 8 inches tapering to 2 feet 9 inches forward. Seating is designed for comfort, with bolstered cushions wrapping around the sides and additional pads for aft-facing positions. The cockpit features adaptable port side seating that can transition between aft-facing lounge, aft-facing seat, and forward-facing seat configurations, all at a seat-and-a-half width. An L-shaped seating arrangement complements the cockpit, while the bucket-style helm seat swivels and slides, equipped with a flip-up bolster to enhance comfort. When the helm seat is rotated, the cockpit transforms into a spacious social area, further enhanced by an optional cockpit table. Safety considerations include a cockpit depth of 33 inches at midships, decreasing slightly to 31 inches aft. The aft sun lounge converts easily between chaise and standard sun pad configurations, with a walk-through to the swim platform accessible by lifting cushions and a hinged filler.
Exterior Design and Features
Externally, the VR5 stands out with exceptional gel coat work that achieves a mirror finish. The boat incorporates multiple tones and textures of vinyl with contrast stitching, elevating the aesthetic beyond simpler designs. Standard non-skid fiberglass decking is complemented by optional snap-in carpet or C-deck rubber matting that mimics teak and remains cool underfoot even in direct sunlight. The C-deck option can be extended to the swim platform, enhancing the boat's appearance. The walk-through windshield features a black anodized frame with exposed sides, with optional side wings available. A notable design improvement addresses water drainage from the bow cover, channeling water away and over the side to prevent pooling. An exclusive collapsible Xtreme tower is available, providing an elevated tow point and support for a Bimini top. Storage is ample, with wide-access compartments beneath bow seats, a large port console storage area capable of holding sizable safety gear, a recessed and rubberized console top for personal items, a deep glove box, and under-seat storage with gas-strut-assisted, gasketed hatches. The boat's construction eschews traditional wood stringers in favor of fully finished, no-wood interiors, enhancing durability and maintenance.
Power and Performance
The VR5 is powered by a 4.5-liter, 200-horsepower Mercruiser engine paired with an alpha drive, with options to downgrade to a 3-liter, 135-horsepower engine or upgrade to a 4.3-liter, 220-horsepower variant. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 45.5 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM, consuming 15.25 gallons per hour and yielding a range of 89 miles. Optimal fuel economy was observed at 3,000 RPM, delivering 26.3 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 5.75 gallons per hour and extending the range to 136 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The VR5 demonstrated rapid acceleration, reaching planing speed in 1.8 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 5.8 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 8.2 seconds. Handling was responsive and precise, with no propeller ventilation during aggressive maneuvers and manageable chine walk during high-speed turns. The boat absorbed choppy conditions smoothly, with minimal spray and no pounding, underscoring its comfortable ride quality.
Helm and Operational Features
The helm area has been refined with an elegant design featuring a central pod with a faux carbon fiber finish housing black-faced analog gauges complemented by a gray panel. A centrally positioned trim gauge and optional depth gauge enhance instrumentation. The stereo system is conveniently located, accompanied by a recessed, rubberized storage area suitable for personal items such as a cell phone. Connectivity includes an MP3 port and an accessory plug flanking the stereo. Toggle switches are positioned on both sides of the helm and illuminate when activated. The steering wheel mounts on a tilt base, offering comfortable ergonomics even when positioned fully upright. Six cleats, three per side, facilitate convenient docking and tie-ups.
Storage and Construction
Storage solutions are thoughtfully integrated throughout the VR5. Bow compartments under each seat provide wide openings for easy access. The port console offers substantial storage capacity, including a deep glove box and a rubberized top surface for securing items. Under-seat storage compartments feature gas strut-assisted lids with gasket seals to protect contents. The walkthrough to the swim platform includes self-draining wet storage, and the engine compartment is accessed via a turn-and-lock latch with a forward-curved lower lip requiring slight repositioning of the seat cushion to open. The engine bay houses the 4.5-liter, 200-horsepower engine snugly, with well-supported wiring. Initial hull configurations show limited aft storage space due to battery and power steering pump placement, though future models will relocate these components to optimize storage.
Conclusion
The Bayliner VR5 successfully combines enhanced interior comfort, versatile seating arrangements, and refined exterior finishes with strong performance and handling characteristics. Its extended length and thoughtful design features deliver more usable space than traditional 18-foot boats while maintaining a competitive price. The boat offers a smooth ride, responsive helm control, and practical storage solutions, making it a compelling option for those seeking a well-rounded bow rider. Minor ergonomic considerations, such as tower mount placement and windshield frame visibility, are noted but do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
