Sea Ray 185 Sport: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The C-Ray 185 Sport is a versatile family boat measuring 19 feet 8 inches in length overall with a beam of 7 feet 3 inches. Weighing 2,600 pounds dry, it is easily trailerable by most family vehicles. The boat comes standard with a 135 horsepower MerCruiser 3.0 liter engine paired with an Alpha 1 stern drive, and it holds a total fuel capacity of 26 gallons. Optional power upgrades include either a 190 or 220 horsepower version of the MerCruiser 4.3 liter MPI engine.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The 185 Sport features an extra deep cockpit averaging just over 30 inches in height, enhancing safety and comfort for family use. The swim ladder is thoughtfully positioned on the starboard side of the extended swim platform, facilitating safer reboarding especially with the stern drive configuration. Six stainless steel cleats are strategically placed to accommodate various dock configurations, and all hardware throughout the boat is stainless steel, reflecting C-Ray's commitment to durability and quality. The sun pad opens in a gullwing fashion, allowing safe and convenient access to the engine compartment and storage areas on both port and starboard sides while on the water.

Helm and Instrumentation

The helm layout is designed for ease of use and visibility. Instruments are backlit with glass lenses and feature low-glare night lighting, displaying essential information such as fuel level, oil pressure, speed, tachometer, trim, and water temperature. These gauges are mounted within easy sight lines above the steering wheel and below a small sun visor. Switches are conveniently located to either side of the wheel, and the throttle is positioned to allow the operator to comfortably rest their arm during engine adjustments.

Bow Seating and Cover

At the bow, the 185 Sport offers a deep set seating area equipped with grab handles positioned just forward of each seat. The low profile of the seating facilitates easy installation of the snap-on cover, enhancing protection and convenience.

Performance and Fuel Economy

Testing over various iterations of the 185 Sport has shown that with the standard 135 horsepower engine, the boat achieves an average top speed of 39 miles per hour while consuming approximately 12.5 gallons of fuel per hour. At a more economical cruising speed of 20 miles per hour, fuel consumption drops to about 4.2 gallons per hour, providing a cruising range of approximately 116 statute miles.

Build Quality and Finish

While difficult to fully convey in a brief review, the overall fit and finish of the C-Ray 185 Sport exemplifies the high standards expected from this manufacturer. The quality of materials and attention to detail contribute to a durable and aesthetically pleasing vessel.

Rating: 4.2 out of 5
