V22 and V22I: Two New Ways to Own the Weekend

Think back to summer days when you were a kid. No alarms. Sun streaming in through your blinds. Waking up with excitement about what the day might bring or where it will take you. You didn’t reach for your smart phone the moment you opened your eyes—but you might have grabbed the corded house phone to dial up your best friend. Or maybe you just hopped on your bike and showed up at their door. Every day was uncomplicated and unscheduled, yet somehow unforgettable. 

Those are the kinds of summer days we’re after again. Warm and wide open. Full of possibility and a focus on the good things in life: family, friends, laughter, excitement, and adventure. Those are the kinds of feelings you’ll find on our V22 and V22I bowriders.

V22 and V22I: Shared DNA, Different Strengths

Proudly built in the USA, our V22 outboard and V22I inboard bowriders were developed side-by-side to share the same spacious layout, thoughtful storage, and easygoing versatility—while offering two distinct propulsion experiences tailored to different boating lifestyles.

Features You’ll Find on Both V22 and V22I

Sleek Fiberglass Hull

Sculpted hull sides give the V22 and V22I a sleek, modern profile that feels both sporty and refined—a head-turning design that stands out from every angle without sacrificing the approachable versatility Bayliner owners love. Engineered for a smoother ride, the hull features: 

• A functional and stylish wraparound sport windshield
• Flowing lines that create a sense of motion even at the dock
• An aerodynamic, hydrodynamic design that enhances speed and stability for cruising and watersports

Spacious Social Layout

22 feet of length and a wide beam accommodate plenty of seating for up to 12 people. It’s easy to kick back and connect with your crew nearly anywhere on the boat:

•  Open bow seating with integrated speakers, cupholders, and chargers
• A conversation-friendly cockpit with two swivel bucket seats, L-shaped lounge seating, and a stowable table
• An aft sunpad for extra seating when anchored

Generous Built-In Storage

Every inch of the V22 and V22I is maximized for practicality, so you can bring all the gear you need and keep it out of the way. Store your stuff and move with ease thanks to:

• Roomy storage beneath most seats
• An insulated cooler behind the helm
• A built-in ski locker in the cockpit floor

A Comfortable, Connected Helm

With intuitive controls and ergonomic seating, the V22 and V22I helm provides a driving experience that feels both relaxed and responsive. We put confidence at your fingertips with:

• Multi-function gauges with fog-resistant glass lenses
• Side-mounted engine controls with integrated trim & tilt switch 
• Tilt steering for personalized comfort 
• Custom sport steering wheel 
• Analog trim indicator 
• 12V accessory outlet 
• 12V horn

Convenient Touches and Options

We want every day on the water to be easy, which is why we added smart design features throughout the V22 and V22I. Every excursion feels more enjoyable with conveniences like:

• Phone charging ports throughout the boat
• Courtesy lights for evening and nighttime outings
• A telescoping swim ladder for easy entry from the water
• 120-Watt AM/FM stereo with MP3 capability
• Optional add-ons like a bimini top, wireless phone charger, filler cushions, and underwater lights

Outboard or Inboard? Find Your Fit.

V22 Outboard: Designed for Long Summer Days

For boaters who value flexibility and simplicity, the V22 outboard bowrider makes getting on the water refreshingly easy. Whether it’s a quick sunset cruise after work, a sandbar day with friends, or exploring farther from home, the outboard setup offers the versatility and confidence to do a little bit of everything without overcomplicating the experience. 

The V22 outboard is great for:

• Dock hopping and sandbar stops - The ability to trim the engine up can help when navigating shallower areas, making outboard models especially appealing for sandbar outings and beach stops.
• Efficient cruising and casual watersports - Outboard power offers strong fuel efficiency and lightweight performance, making it well-suited for longer cruises, while still providing enough capability for family-friendly tow sports.
• Confident performance across a variety of waterways - Outboards deliver responsive handling and versatile performance that adapt easily to everything from calm inland lakes to larger open-water environments.
• Easy-access maintenance and simplified ownership - With the engine mounted externally on the transom, routine service and maintenance are easier to access, helping streamline ownership and maximize time on the water.

V22I Inboard: Built for Action-Packed Weekends

The V22I inboard bowrider is designed for boaters who like to keep the energy high all day long. From tubing runs and watersports sessions to afternoons spent jumping off the swim platform, the smooth handling and sporty feel create a connected, activity-focused experience that naturally brings people together on the water. 

The V22I inboard is ideal for:

• Smooth, sporty performance for watersports – The V22I's inboard power delivers responsive handling, steady pull strength, and smooth acceleration, creating a connected driving experience that’s ideal for tubing, skiing, and other tow sports.
• Easy water access for swimming - With the engine tucked beneath the boat (rather than mounted on the transom), the V22I offers a cleaner, more integrated swim platform experience.
• Full days of family fun - The balanced handling and refined ride characteristics help make long afternoons of towing, swimming, cruising, and relaxing feel smooth and comfortable for everyone onboard.
• A sleek, streamlined aesthetic – The concealed engine elevates the V22I’s premium appearance while also offering more unified aft seating and an improved swim platform layout.

Two Bowriders. One Fun-Loving Vibe.

From adrenaline to relaxation, big splashes to big laughs, the V22 and V22I bring the best kind of moments back into focus. Because the good days were never gone. They were just waiting for you to return to them.
