Bayliner D22i: Spacious Sterndrive Deck Boat for Sun, Swimming and Watersports

1. General Information

The Bayliner D22i is the sterndrive version of the D22, a 21 ft 6 in deck boat that carries up to eleven people. A MerCruiser 4.5L V6 sterndrive provides 200 hp as standard, with a 250 hp option for stronger watersports performance. Designed with new boaters in mind, it offers a stable, dry ride thanks to its deep gunwales and extended length, making it an ideal family boat for long days on lakes and calm coastal waters.

2. Construction and Design

The D22i is built on a fibreglass hull with an 18-degree deadrise, deep gunwales and a fibreglass floor liner. With the engine mounted inboard, transitional transom seating converts into a large sun lounge, and an optional extended swim platform adds even more space at water level. The helm has tilt steering, multi-function gauges and a 180-degree swivel seat, and the boat comes with in-floor ski storage, a bow ladder, a swim platform with telescoping ladder and a Bluetooth stereo. Options include bimini, comfort and tower packages, a portable head and a cockpit refrigerator.

3. Key Features
