2012 Bayliner 185 Bowrider – Low Hours, Exceptional Condition & Loaded with Upgrades
This exceptionally well-maintained 2012 Bayliner 185 Bowrider is the perfect combination of reliability, performance, and family-friendly versatility. With only approximately 167 original engine hours, extensive recent upgrades, and meticulous ownership, this 18-foot sport boat is ready for countless days of cruising, watersports, fishing, and family fun on the water.
Powered by a dependable MerCruiser® 4.3L TKS inboard engine producing 190 horsepower, this Bayliner 185 delivers strong acceleration, excellent fuel efficiency, and responsive handling. Paired with an Alpha One sterndrive and a recently installed 4-blade propeller, the boat offers improved hole shot, smooth operation, and excellent overall performance. The original refinished 3-blade propeller is also included as a spare.
Finished in a timeless black-and-white hull combination with matching black canvas, this Bayliner presents exceptionally well and reflects the level of care it has received throughout its life. The black Bimini top provides welcome shade during long summer days, while the matching full boat cover helps protect the vessel when not in use.
One of the standout features of this package is the addition of a 2020 Mercury® 9.9HP Command Thrust kicker motor with electric start. With just over 10 hours of use and Premium Mercury Extended Warranty coverage through March 2029, the kicker provides added peace of mind, trolling capability, and emergency backup power. A detailed break-in and run-time log will be provided to the new owner.
The cockpit features upgraded captain's chairs and a spacious bowrider layout designed for comfortable cruising and entertaining. Ample seating throughout the boat makes it ideal for family outings, watersports, and relaxing afternoons on the lake.
Mechanically, this package is exceptionally well equipped. A dual battery system provides reliable onboard power management, while the electric boat winch simplifies loading and unloading at the launch ramp. An additional spare electric winch is also included.
The included 2012 Karavan single axle trailer has received significant recent upgrades, including a new surge brake actuator, new bearings and hubs with grease fittings, new brake discs, calipers, brake pads, and new trailer tires. These updates provide confidence and reliability when towing to and from your favorite boating destinations.
Known for its easy handling, practical layout, and affordable ownership, the Bayliner 185 remains one of the most popular bowriders ever built. This particular example stands out thanks to its low hours, extensive maintenance history, premium upgrades, and overall condition.
Whether you're a first-time boat owner, a growing family, or someone looking for a dependable and well-equipped recreational boat, this 2012 Bayliner 185 Bowrider offers exceptional value and turn-key enjoyment.
