Bayliner Vr5 Problems. Forward the boat employs Bayliners category-leading BeamForward design which carries the full 8 feet of beam further forward in the boat than has been traditionally done. With two adults on board and a full tank of fuel we pushed the boat to a top speed of 461 mph.
When Bayliner first introduced their brand new VR5 in 2014 it immediately began to make waves in the industry. I called Bayliner support and they verified that this is. But once we started to test.
With 2 people on board it takes 7-10 seconds to plane out.
With 6 or 7 people on board its 20 seconds. No problems - boat was a fantastic value - very good performer handles waves and great economy. This innovative runabout was a rebirth for the brand and the beginning of something new. XContact your dealer if you have any problems with your new boat.
