Buying an Outboard? Keep These 3 Things in Mind

Servicing
Two-stroke outboards generally cost less to service than four-stroke models.

Warranty
New motors come with a factory warranty and support. With used motors, it's often buyer beware.

Price
Compare apples with apples. Some brands charge extra for control cables, fitting kits, and other essentials. Check what's included before making a decision.

Why Parsun?
Parsun delivers reliable, Yamaha-quality performance at a smarter price, giving you great value on the water.

Something exciting news — and we think you're going to love it. 🙌

Bayliner Boats has officially unveiled the all-new V22 Series — and it's a big deal for anyone who loves time out on the water.

The new lineup includes two models:
🚤 The V22 Outboard
🚤 The V22I Sterndrive

These models step in as the successor to the well-loved VR6 Bowrider series — building on everything that made it popular, while bringing fresh improvements to the table.

Key Features of the V22 Series Include:
Elevated Design: Sculpted hull sides and clean, modern lines give the V22 Series a confident, contemporary look that marks a new era for Bayliner’s flagship bowrider lineup.

Spacious, Flexible Layout: A wider beam than the outgoing VR6 opens up the cockpit, with L-shaped lounge seating that effortlessly transitions from cruising to entertaining, dining, and water sports.

Comfort-First Helm: Twin captain’s bucket seats with 180-degree swivel let the helm and co-pilot pivot toward the action, whether that’s conversation in the cockpit or watching skiers astern.

Smart Storage: Generous in-floor, under-seat, and bow storage throughout. The V22 outboard adds a large sun pad with a deep storage compartment beneath, ideal for tubes, and other towing vessels, and gear for a full day on the water.

Everyday Convenience: Standard courtesy lighting, an integrated cooler under the helm seat, and phone charging ports at the helm, starboard, and bow keep crew comfortable and connected.

Built for the Lifestyle: The V22 is tuned for water sports, cruising, and sandbar days, while the V22I delivers a quieter, more refined ride well-suited for anchoring out and entertaining.

We know how much thought goes into choosing the right boat. It's not just a purchase — it's about the experiences you're planning and the memories you want to make. That's why we're genuinely excited to share this news with you.

At Lakeland Marine, we're here to help you find the right fit for your time on the water. Whether you're familiar with the VR6 or exploring Bayliner for the first time, the V22 Series is well worth a closer look.

Are you more drawn to the outboard or the sterndrive option — and what matters most to you when choosing between the two? We'd love to hear your thoughts. 👇
