Bayliner M15 / Quicksilver Activ 475 aXess
The US boat builder Brunswick uses the principle of the platform strategy from the automotive industry for its well-known Bayliner and Quicksilver brands. This means that apart from the equipment and the design, the boats are identical in construction. They are based on the same hull and have exactly the same handling characteristics.
In the case of the open entry-level models that we just got to know in the south of France, these are the Bayliner M15 and the Quicksilver Activ 475 aXess, both manufactured in Portugal. Both are further developments of the Element series from Bayliner.
