Bayliner 190 Deck Boats For Sale

The Bayliner 190 deck boat is an open, outboard-powered family entertainer that marked a new direction for the brand, which had built its earlier deck boats around stern drive power. It carries an 8-foot-1-inch beam well forward to open up the bow seating, and it rides on a hull with 17 degrees of deadrise, lifting strakes and a flared bow for a drier ride. Length overall is 18 feet 7 inches with a 16-inch draft, and the boat is rated to carry up to 11 people in the US market and 10 under Australian rating. Empty weight is listed around 3,040 pounds. It suits buyers stepping up from a 17- or 18-foot bowrider who want more room for kids, friends and water sports.

Power runs from a 115 to 150 horsepower Mercury four-stroke EFI outboard. With the standard 115 horsepower Mercury four-stroke turning a 13.4 x 15 three-blade prop, top speed reached 35.8 mph at 6,400 RPM, burning 11.25 gallons per hour for about a 100-mile range. Best cruise came at 4,500 RPM and 22.8 mph, where fuel burn dropped to 4.65 gallons per hour for 154 miles and nearly 6 hours 48 minutes of running with a 10 percent reserve. The 190 planed in 3.7 seconds, hit 20 mph in 7.7 seconds and 30 mph in 11.8 seconds, with a 16-degree bow rise on acceleration settling to a 5-degree cruising attitude. Stepped up to the optional 150 horsepower four-stroke, the boat runs well over 40 mph and tracks stably through corners. The prop can ventilate easily if trimmed too high or pushed hard in turns, so it pays to trim down and add power through maneuvers.

The helm puts the gauges on a carbon-fiber-finished panel with black faces, the port gauge being a 3-in-1, plus a stereo remote, 12-volt supply and MP3 port. A driver-side windscreen is standard, while most buyers add the optional wraparound walkthrough windshield. The wraparound bucket seat has a flip-up bolster and tilt steering, so the driver can see over the windscreen at no-wake speeds and switch to a more car-like position underway. A cooler sits within the console alongside a glove box and a Bluetooth-capable waterproof marine stereo.

Storage is a strong point. The cockpit runs 34 inches deep for a secure feel, with an aft bench seat holding storage all the way across and the main battery switches. Underseat sole storage measures 12 inches deep, 6.5 feet long with a 14-inch opening, and a 25-quart carry-on cooler lives in its own hatch beside the helm. The bow forms a casting deck with two storage compartments flanking a concealed three-step reboarding ladder, plus an anchor locker. Twin extended swim platforms give nearly 3 feet of surface on either side of the outboard, with a folding swim ladder angled away from the engine, a freshwater transom shower plumbed to a 10-gallon tank, an in-floor ski locker and a self-draining wet storage hatch that can double as a cooler.

Convenience and water-sports options include a porta-potty under the port seat with a privacy curtain dropping from the Bimini top, removable storage totes under the aft-facing lounge, an extreme tower with wakeboard racks, and fishing setups with a fish finder, bow deck filler, pedestal seat and trolling motor. Bayliner backs the boat with a limited lifetime structural hull warranty, a 10-year structural hull warranty to the second owner, a 5-year deck warranty and a one-year parts warranty, and offers galvanized or painted single-axle swing-tongue trailers depending on salt or fresh water use.

Used 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Bayliner 190 deck boats for sale turn up regularly, often with the upgraded 150 horsepower Mercury. On older hulls, check the gelcoat for fading and minor scratches that may need buffing or wet sanding, while interior upholstery on well-kept examples tends to hold up; confirm the engine hours and any added electronics such as a Garmin display when comparing listings.
