I just bought a 2025 Bayliner VR5 with the 200hp 4.5L Mercruiser, - many issues - Low power, BARELY pulls me up slalom

[dlykins]

Has anyone had issues with this boat?
Are they junk or what?

1. Won't go over 10mph at 3200 rpm,,,, ..Bayliner took it back to factory saying the p!atform wasn't caluked properly and is filling with water at !ow speeds

2. Stalls while idling

has other issues as we!!

get a new boat from them. look up lemon laws in your state.

Your fortunate they took it back. Hopefully the new one is better.

Good thing they took it back

You will need to prop for slalom skiing.

Time to move on to a different boat.

Has the whole fuel system from the fuel filter back to the tank (anti siphon valve, tank pick up tube) been checked?

Being a 2025, it's still under warranty. Take it back to the dealer
