ONE OWNER! Perfectly maintained boat with less than 250 hours. This vessel spent most of her life in NY and was only in the water there for 4 months a year on a fresh water lake and was professionally winterized and stored the other 8 months. Snap on bow and cockpit covers are in great condition plus it comes with a full mooring cover as well. Comes equipped with newly installed 2025 Lowrance Hook Reveal 9 (Sonar and GPS unit with 9" SolarMAX display and FishReveal Technology). Galvanized trailer included!
The 185LS targets boaters who want a "do-everything" small boat: a day boat for cruising, swimming, tubing or watersports, casual fishing, or just relaxing on the lake. Its compact size makes it easier to trailer, store, and launch than larger boats - but it doesn't sacrifice too much in comfort or amenities. Offers a mixture of performance (with the 135 hp Mercruiser stern drive) and practicality (storage, cooler, convertible seating), giving good value for price/size. 185LS is a compact yet full-featured 18'-class bowrider designed for fun on the water - cruising, swimming, watersports or weekend outings.
Basic Specs Length Overall (LOA): 18' 5"
Beam: 85" (≈ 7'1")
Hull Material: Fiberglass
Fuel Capacity: 21 gallons
Engine (standard): 1 × 135 hp gas engine, Mercruiser fuel injected 3.0 MPI stern-drive setup.
Seating Capacity: Up to 7 persons
At the helm: sporty "Dino" Italian-style steering wheel, a full array of backlit instruments trimmed in a rich wood-grain-style dash panel, and a lower rake for better visibility. Dash includes: digital hour meter, 12-volt receptacle for accessories, and on the passenger side a locking glove box, a large drink holder, heavy-duty stainless grab rail, plus a flat spot to mount electronics (radio/CD) recessed beneath the windshield for protection. Bow design: the bow is wider and longer than its predecessor (the 180), with contoured dual bow seats on fiberglass bases; bow area includes stainless-steel rails (not plastic) for safety and durability, and storage under the seats. Bow also features an in-bow insulated cooler (about 32 quarts) with a non-slip hatch that doubles as a boarding step - ideal for drinks/food storage and easier bow access. Cockpit/after area: The "LS" layout offers a driver's bucket seat, a back-to-back lounge seat (convertible), and aft jump seats that sit beside or over the motor box (removable motor box with pad). This layout balances seating, lounging, and swim-platform access. Swim platform + integrated re-boarding ladder at stern (on models like the 185LX; LS shares many of these features). Other standard amenities: All-weather marine carpet, oversized cup holders, storage compartments (floor storage, bow storage), pop-up bow cleat and spring-line cleats, stainless-steel bow rails, and a sport Bimini top (with windshield connector) in many configurations.
This 185LS bowrider is like a Swiss Army Knife; it's compact but packed full of features seldom seen in a package this size. Start at the helm, where you find a sporty Dino Italian steering wheel, and a full array of instruments, backlit and trimmed in rich woodgrain paneling. The dash has a lower rake than previous models for better visibility. You'll find a digital hour meter and a 12-volt receptacle for charging cell phones, spotlights, or other accessories. On the passenger side is a locking glove box, oversized drink holder, heavy-duty stainless grab rail, a flat spot to mount electronics and a radio/CD mount recessed beneath the windshield for optimum protection. The bow is wider and longer than the 180 predecessor. Solid stainless steel rails, not plastic handles, line the perimeter. Forward of the two well-padded, roll-and-pleated lounge seats is an insulated cooler with a non-skid hatch that doubles as a boarding step. Oversize drink holders flank the cooler.
