Bayliner 28: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Bayliner 285 is designed for boaters seeking a straightforward, comfortable cruising experience without the hassle of extensive packing or preparation. This model features a beam-forward design that maximizes usable interior space, offering the feel of a larger vessel while maintaining the manageable handling characteristics of a smaller cruiser. Its hull incorporates a 21-degree dead rise, contributing to a smooth and stable ride.

Exterior Design and Bridge

The exterior of the Bayliner 285 includes a well-equipped pulpit with an anchor roller, rope housings, anchor cleat, and high protective railings, with ample space to install a windlass if desired. The bow area is spacious and illuminated by three hatches that provide ventilation and natural light to the cabin below. The helm features a large wraparound windshield with a starboard-mounted wiper and a central walkthrough for easy companionway access. The instrument cluster is topped by a Danforth compass, with toggle switches and push-button breakers arranged conveniently around the wheel. The helm station offers a slide adjustment and bolster seating, although the bolster support may be insufficient for some. Opposite the helm is a large L-shaped bench seat with a flip-over backrest that can face forward or aft, complemented by cup holders, a table, and a flip-down bar footrest. Additional seating is provided by a forward-facing bench on the port side. The engine compartment is accessed via two poles, though only one is necessary, revealing a spacious area housing a 350 Magnum MPI engine. The stern features a swept-back arch with integrated speakers and overhead lighting, four cup holders on the swim platform, a line and fender locker, and a telescoping ladder stored under the starboard side of the platform.

Interior Living Spaces

Descending four steps into the cabin reveals a thoughtfully arranged living area. To port is a galley equipped with a sink and faucet, burner, microwave, stereo, sliding storage, cabinets, and space for a coffee maker. Adjacent to the galley is a single bench seat, while to starboard a dinette with seating for four converts easily into an additional sleeping berth. A power panel and hanging closet are conveniently located next to the galley, enhancing functionality and storage.

Private Accommodations

Forward, the V-berth provides comfortable sleeping quarters for two, complete with a privacy curtain, mirror, speakers, and ample light and ventilation through a large hatch and side portals. The head is situated on the starboard side and features a molded vanity with a pull-out shower and a pump-out toilet. At the stern, a separate berth offers a large bed with its own privacy door and abundant natural light, ensuring comfortable accommodations for additional guests.

Power and Performance

The Bayliner 285 measures 28 feet 9 inches in length, extending to 29 feet 6 inches when fully rigged, with a beam width of 9 feet 10 inches and a weight of 7,241 pounds. It requires a minimum clearance of 9 feet 1 inch and a depth of 37 inches below the keel for running gear. Powered by a 350 Magnum MPI engine, the boat demonstrated excellent handling during testing on Florida's inland waterways, maneuvering tightly and turning quickly without significant power loss. Its optimal cruising speed is 23.8 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, consuming approximately 12 gallons per hour and providing a range of 182 miles on a full tank. At full throttle, it reaches a top speed of 37.9 miles per hour at 4,500 RPM, burning 20.7 gallons per hour with a range of 168 miles. Noise levels are low, measuring 60 dBA at idle and 89 dBA at full throttle, contributing to a quiet and comfortable ride.

Conclusion

The Bayliner 285 offers a balanced combination of spacious design, practical features, and reliable performance. Its beam-forward layout enhances interior volume, while the well-appointed helm and comfortable accommodations support extended cruising. With its smooth handling, efficient powerplant, and thoughtful amenities, the 285 is well-suited for boaters seeking a capable and enjoyable cruiser for multi-day adventures.
