The Bayliner 185BR is a great allrounder, we have really enjoyed this boat
Easily the best boat we've ever owned
It is well-looked after, has had low-moderate usage, and is ready to go
Engine - MPI V6 Mercruiser, 220 hp, 4.3L fuel-injected (is the best of the engines fitted to this hull)
- an alternative - the 4 cyl 135hp is OK, but not really enough to make this boat go well
- the next best was the 4.3L Carburettor version, 190hp that's quite good
A bit of background:
We've owned the boat since 2015, and we are the 2nd owner - was sold first by Nowra Marine to an owner in Jindabyne
The boat has been garaged its whole life my me and the previous guy, and he used it in fresh water (Jindabyne)
We have the receipts and have maintained it well, serviced regularly by my very good boat mechanic
Has been kept in a garage, so the seats are all in good condition, gelcoat all good
We have the receipts and original sales documents
We have the original Bayliner handbook and carrybag they gave to new owners
Boat and trailer are registered
