Bayliner 197 Deckboat

At the front of the deckboat, is a wide swim platform large enough for three adults to cool their feet in the water. A telescoping swim ladder tucks neatly into its own compartment and saves space on the platform. But the greatest feature of the new 197 is the ever-expansive seating. The cockpit provides 360-degrees of plush seating with ample storage space below each cushion.

When it’s time for lunch or a game of cards, a snack table can be quickly installed at the bow. Meanwhile, beverage control is handled by an insulated cooler located under the aft seat cushion. Also in the back, on the starboard side of the aft bench seat, is the helm console.
