This is a test of the Bayliner 185 top speed with all factory equipment 4 cylinder Mercruiser engine.
Bayliner 175 vs 185. Overall the 185 makes the 175 look a bit cut price - which is somewhat the aim of Bayliner to keep the 175 an affordable entry level boat. Both cruise easily between 3000 to 3800rpm 25 to 30 knots before reaching top speeds in excess of 40 knots in the right conditions. The 185 definitely smooths out the bumps a lot more effectively than my 175.
2012 - 2015 Length. In fact combine the Bayliner 185 and its smaller brother the 175 and youd have nearly one-third of the under-20 sport-boat market. Of course there is no choice between comfort and suffering.

Bayliner 185 and 175 review The arrival of the latest new model from America often means the boat in question has an extra drinkholder or a different colour scheme but in terms of Bayliners 2012 range there are a number of significant differences and - in the case of the 175 - an entirely new hull. Its not hard to understand the popularity of bowriders as the layout caters for just about all aspects of water-borne fun.
The 175 actually rides its best with a full load of 7 people - especially up the front in the bow seats. Boating Experience CONTROL HAZARD. The 185 is about right.
I like the classic better than the newer design more interior room on same size boat. The hull is transformed with weight. The 175 tracked straight too and it was even more impressive during turns.
