The 197 was made for getting your whole crew out on the water in comfort and style. Thanks to the generous cockpit and fluid layout, the 197 boasts room for 10. The addition of filler cushions transforms the bow into a queen-size sun lounge. But if it’s action you’re after, the 197 can also be outfitted with Bayliner’s Flight Package.
