Dimensions & Capacity

• Length Overall (LOA): about 20′ 4″ (6.20 m)
• Beam: 8′ 0″ (2.44–2.55 m) wide — gives more interior space than many comparable boats.
• Fuel Capacity: ≈ 33 gallons
• Max People Capacity: 8 persons (typical configuration)
• Hull & Deck: Fiberglass hull, deep-vee hull shape with ~ 20° deadrise.

Hull & Layout Design Highlights

• BeamForward™ design — carries full beam further forward, creating more usable bow space and improving passenger comfort.
• AftAdvantage™ cockpit layout — extends the aft seating area to the very back of the running surface, then adds the swim platform. This keeps the platform from eating into usable interior space, maximizing cockpit room.
• Integrated swim platform (standard) — ideal for boarding, swimming, or water sports.

Cockpit & Interior Features

Standard amenities for comfort, convenience, and storage:

• Cup holders (usually 5–6) and grab handles for safety and convenience.
• Bow seating, plus comfortable seating throughout the cockpit.
• Fuel fill with integrated vent.
• Lockable glove box (port side).
• In-floor ski/wakeboard storage — helps safely stow gear and keep cockpit uncluttered.
• Stereo system — waterproof 120-watt AM/FM stereo with inputs for MP3 (and on newer spec sheets, Bluetooth).

Helm & Controls / Electrical & Instrumentation

• Helm seat with 180° swivel — helpful for comfort and socializing.
• Side-mounted engine controls with trim & tilt switch, and tilt steering.
• Custom sport steering wheel.
• Multi-function gauges (fuel, speedometer, tachometer, voltmeter) with fog-resistant glass.
• 12V accessory outlet and 12V horn.
• 12V blower and bilge pump (electrical system)
• Navigation lights, bow & transom eyes, stainless steel tow ring.

Power / Engine Options

Depending on configuration, the 2018 VR5 could come with:

• Sterndrive (I/O): 200 HP 4.5L MPI MerCruiser ECT with Alpha 1 outdrive (or other engine options depending on spec)

✅ Why These Features Matter

• The BeamForward™ + AftAdvantage™ layout gives the VR5 more usable space than many boats in its size class — useful for family outings, watersports, or cruising.
• Ample seating, storage, and onboard conveniences (cooler, stereo, storage locker) make it a versatile runabout — whether you’re tubing, cruising, or just relaxing.
• Practical helm controls, standard instrumentation, and basic electrical gear make it ready to go.
• Flexible engine/drive options allow buyers to choose outboard or sterndrive depending on their needs or preference.
