Bavaria Sport 300 vs 29

[GeorgX]

Would someone please tell me the difference between the Bavaria Sport 300 from the early 2000s & the Sport 29 from the mid 2000s? They appear to be the same boat but for the instrument cluster & the cabin layout (300: setee on port, galley/head on starboard; 29: no setee, galley & head across each other)

This was a soft update aka facelift, with a new name, also applied to the 360/36 and 400/40. I've got an S40.

Hull and deck mouldings pretty much the same between the iterations; the later boats have layout changes with are (arguably) slightly better thought out.

So the 29 is the same as the 30 then? (as well as the 300)

The 300 has a setee on port and galley/head on starboard. Does that mean the front berth is smaller on the 300 (compared to the 29 which has no setee, but galley & head across each other)?

Don't know the internal dimensions, sorry. You could google a few used examples to compare the layouts.

Ive sold a 29 & havent been on a 300. By the looks of it the 29 is a 4 berth boat whereas the 300 is a 5 berth. The galley is an "L" on starboard side & heads is where the bench seat on the 300 is.

Cockpit on the 300 is different, the aft seat is more 'sunpad' like, also on 29 there is a set of fender baskets at the back and a step up for access to the port side deck.

Both boats are from different periods in the Bavaria motorboat story.
The original line up was branded BMB (Bavaria Motor Boats) and the full range consisted of the 270, 300, 330 and 380

Broadly the 270 was a small V berth boat with crawl under mid berth double.
The 330 and the 380 were full twin cabin, central saloon style boats

The 300 sat somewhere in the middle, with a central saloon, rear cabin and forward hop in berth but without a bulkhead.
The big sell was the forward berth was fixed so wasn't convertible like a standard V Berth.

the above is a 29. The 300 is below:
