Bayliner 185 BR: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Bayliner 185BR is designed as an affordable family boat that aims to deliver substantial value without compromising essential features. This model balances cost-effectiveness with practical design elements, making it an accessible option for those seeking a versatile recreational vessel.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The bow area of the 185BR is thoughtfully equipped with six cleats—two on each side of the bow, one midship, and two at the stern—providing ample options for mooring and docking. The deck features non-skid surfaces both at the bow and just below, allowing the forward platform to serve as a safe launching point for swimming or diving activities. Reboarding is facilitated by a three-step ladder located on the stern, positioned within clear view of the helm for safety monitoring. Storage is integrated beneath the bow cushions, accessible via seats with robust stainless steel piano hinges, and includes ventilated compartments that extend forward beneath the deck to prevent mold and mildew buildup. The swim platform measures 6 feet 4 inches by 1 foot 3 inches and features a molded non-skid surface for secure footing.

Seating and Comfort Features

The bow seating arrangement includes two seats separated by 16 inches, designed for passengers to sit facing forward rather than toward each other, optimizing comfort and space. Cushions rise 13 inches to provide armrests and incorporate conveniently placed grab handles. The cockpit features front and back seats on the starboard side, with an option to upgrade the passenger seat to a single bucket style. Both seats adjust to form a flat sun lounge, with cushions designed for easy removal and replacement using finger notches. Under-gunwale storage compartments are located adjacent to the seats, enhancing stowage options. The captain's seat includes a flip-up bolster with slide and swivel adjustments, allowing for comfortable operation and easy ingress and egress, although the bolster's tendency to drop easily could benefit from a slight design adjustment. The cockpit layout avoids a bench seat that encroaches on space, opting instead for two seats flanking the engine box, which can be converted into a sun pad by repositioning the cushions.

Windshield and Helm Station

The walkthrough windshield provides approximately 18 inches of clearance, slightly wider than some competitors, and is secured by C-channel supports rather than traditional hinges, offering durability and cost efficiency. The windshield frame is rounded and elevated to improve sightlines for seated passengers. The helm features a non-glare plastic panel with a brushed aluminum appearance, replacing the previous faux wood finish. Instrumentation includes a full suite of Feria gauges with chrome bezels, surpassing typical entry-level boats that often limit gauges to RPM and tachometer only. Power steering is standard, and the helm is equipped with a stereo system rather than a remote control, enhancing onboard entertainment control.

Power and Performance

The Bayliner 185BR is powered by a 3-liter engine, which provides adequate performance for typical use. For heavier loads or activities such as water skiing with multiple passengers, an upgrade to a 4.3-liter engine is recommended. The engine hatch is supported by dual gas-assist struts and features a fiberglass back shell; however, it lacks insulation, which may result in increased engine noise. A fire extinguisher discharge port is notably absent from the hatch design, representing a potential safety improvement opportunity. Bayliner's hull engineering emphasizes efficient performance with less power, contributing to the boat's overall capability.

Rating: 3.8 out of 5
