Bayliner 170: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Bayliner 170 Outboard is a versatile and well-equipped boat designed for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing and water sports. Powered by a Mercury 115 outboard engine, the 170 OB offers a spacious layout and several optional packages that enhance its utility and performance. This review provides a detailed look at the boat's features, design, and on-water performance.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

The boat features swim platforms on both sides, with a three-step reboarding ladder located on the port side, facilitating easy water access. The transom includes an optional ski tow pylon centered for water sports activities, and bench seating stretches across the stern with Bayliner-embossed upholstery. Storage compartments are thoughtfully integrated on the starboard side, while the port side offers a non-skid step for reboarding. An aerated livewell is positioned centrally for fishing purposes. The cockpit area is notably roomy, measuring nearly six feet across and 28 inches from the bench seat to the bucket seats, enhancing comfort and movement. The bulwarks are designed with open cargo netting for additional storage, and rod holders are included as part of the optional fish and ski package. Some minor usability improvements were suggested, such as adding a combing panel to the storage area and replacing the current storage compartment tab with a pull-up ring handle for easier access. Additionally, padding at the bottom of the storage compartment would better protect stored gear.

Helm and Instrumentation

The helm area is equipped with a straightforward and uncomplicated panel, featuring two Feria gauges with chrome bezels and white bases. The speedometer integrates fuel and battery gauges, while lighted toggle switches and tilt steering add to the functionality. The optional fish finder occupies a space that would otherwise be a second drink holder. Both the helm and passenger seats are positioned somewhat low, which results in controls being placed higher and creating an awkward feel, though this seating arrangement allows for an unobstructed view through the windshield rather than at its frame. The walk-through windshield includes rubber gasketing to prevent vibration when closed and rubber stoppers to avoid slamming when opened, though a strap and snap to hold it open would be a welcome addition. The distance between the consoles measures 16 inches, supported by beefy structures capable of bearing significant weight.

Fishing and Seating Options

The fish and ski package enhances the boat's versatility with features such as a casting deck, pedestal seat, and a MotorGuide trolling motor powered by a dedicated battery located under the port console. Storage beneath the side panels is typical of Bowrider boats, though the reviewer suggested that an insert to convert this space into a fish box would improve functionality. The casting platform can be removed and replaced with cushions to revert the boat to a standard Bowrider seating configuration. The cushions are separated by 14 inches with an 11-inch height to the cap rail, providing comfortable seating arrangements.

Power and Performance

The Bayliner 170 Outboard, equipped with the Mercury 115 engine, has an empty weight of 1,753 pounds. During testing with two people aboard, half fuel, and test gear, the total weight was 2,566 pounds. The boat achieved a top speed of 40.2 miles per hour at 6,000 rpm, consuming 10.6 gallons per hour and delivering 3.8 miles per gallon, resulting in a range of approximately 72 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was 20.6 miles per hour at 3,500 rpm, with a fuel burn of 3.1 gallons per hour and a range of 127 miles, assuming a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 2.9 seconds, reaching 20 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 9.4 seconds. The boat requires careful trim adjustment, as no trim gauge is provided; optimal trim is indicated by a slight bow rise, spray shifting aft, and a speed boost. Over-trimming leads to prop ventilation and bow oscillation, which can be corrected by reducing trim slightly.

Handling and Maneuverability

Steering on the 170 Outboard involves 4.5 turns from lock to lock and lacks power assistance, necessitating a firm grip on the wheel. This design discourages aggressive, uncomfortable maneuvers, promoting a smoother ride for passengers. During hard turns, the boat naturally reduces speed, resulting in controlled, docile handling that enhances safety, particularly when operated by less experienced drivers or younger operators.

Water Sports Capability

The 170 Outboard is marketed as a water sports boat, and testing confirmed its capability to tow a wakeboarder effectively. The Mercury 115 engine provided sufficient power to pull a 200-pound wakeboarder out of the water and generate a wake conducive to performing aerial maneuvers. The boat maintained a steady, straight track during wakeboarding activities, underscoring its suitability for such recreational use.

Conclusion

The Bayliner 170 Outboard is a versatile and well-rounded boat that balances fishing features with recreational and water sports capabilities. Its spacious cockpit, thoughtful storage solutions, and solid performance metrics make it a practical choice for a range of boating activities. While some ergonomic and storage access improvements could enhance the user experience, the boat delivers reliable handling, efficient cruising, and strong acceleration. Overall, it stands as a competent and enjoyable vessel for both fishing enthusiasts and water sports participants.
