Pretty much nothing. Tack some letters on the end of a model name, add a cup holder or two, and...viola...LS!:D

LS = Luxury Sport. This is the traditional meaning of the designation from a time when auto makers intended them to mean something.

GT (Yes, seen this on boats, too) = Grand Touring. Silly, isn't it?

GS = Grand Sport

LE = Limited Edition (Yeah, 250,000 units and they say "LE")

SS = Super Sport

Most often, it means "marketing".

What I meant to ask is what is the difference between a plain 2050 vs a 2050 LS?:confused:

I know with cars for instance, the difference between a base model and a LS is usually nothing more than a fancy pin stripe and a couple emblems. I'm sure there's not much to it for boats either.
I'm going to guess and say the 2050LS may have a little softer interior and a fancy decal.

I don't believe ther WAS any "plain" 2050 in the years you're asking about (in your other threads). But mtrainTurbo is a Bayliner expert (shut up, Wayne :eek:); maybe he'll chime in.

OK, I'll shutup. I won't say that LS could also be Lame Stripe or most likely Less Stuff.

The cars that I have owned it has been Less Stuff. Less gauges, less trim, etc.

But I didn't say anything.
