Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway bringing you Bayliner Parts and Bayliner Boats along with news and views from the boating industry. Here is a boat review on the new 2009 Bayliner 185 Bow Rider Boat with Flight Package.

Without a doubt, the Bayliner 185 has been one of the most popular bow rider boats under 20 feet world wide. The 185 has always been a great family boat, excellent for taking the kids out on the water for a day of fishing or tubing.

The large stern sun pad makes for a comfortable day of relaxing and sun tanning. The 185 is easy to tow from lake to lake with a towing road weight of 3000 pounds.

With a standard base price around $16,000 (at the time this article was written), you can easily understand why the Bayliner 185 is on so many bow rider boat buyers short list.

Some of the standard features are;

1. Corner starboard jump seats which can be flipped upside down so they can be used as steps to get to the transom or fishing platform.
2. The cockpit seats are deep, an excellent security feature especially for children. Also makes for a warmer boat outing in early spring or late fall when cooler weather is upon us.
3. The stereo system is a Jensen 129 watt with two marine speakers and a MP3 jack, providing plenty of sound for this size of boat.

The Optional Bayliner 185 Flight Package

The optional flight package comes with a custom wakeboard tower, additional Jensen marine stereo speakers, adjustable bimini top, spreader lights and an extended swim platform.

Powered with a Mercury Marine Mercruiser 4.3 inboard/outboard engine with a top speed of 50 m.p.h. The Bayliner 185 planes out quickly (3-4 seconds) fast enough for towing water sports fun all day long.

This is why year after year the Bayliner 185 has been one of the most popular bow rider boats the boating industry has seen.
