Bayliner D20i: Compact Sterndrive Deck Boat with a Lounger at the Stern

1. General Information

The Bayliner D20i is the sterndrive version of the D20 deck boat, a 19 ft 6 in boat that seats up to nine people. Powered by a MerCruiser 4.5L V6 sterndrive with an Alpha One outdrive, it suits families and new boaters who prefer the clean transom and lounge space that an inboard engine allows. It is at home on lakes, rivers and calm bays, and its trailerable size makes it easy to store at home and launch wherever you want to spend the day.

2. Construction and Design

The D20i shares the D-Series fibreglass hull with an 18-degree deadrise and a fibreglass floor liner that is easy to rinse clean. With the engine inboard, the stern becomes a comfortable aft lounger, and a swim platform with telescoping ladder makes it easy to get in and out of the water. The helm offers tilt steering, multi-function gauges with fog-resistant lenses and a seat that swivels 180 degrees. In-floor ski and wakeboard storage, a bow ladder, stainless tow ring and plenty of storage round out a practical, family-friendly layout.
