2009 Bayliner 185 BR

This 2009 Bayliner 185 BR is an 18-foot fiberglass bowrider built to get families on the water without breaking the bank. The MerCruiser 3.0L sterndrive puts out 135 horsepower, and the boat seats eight across a wide 93-inch beam with cockpit storage that actually holds gear. At 2,123 pounds dry weight and drawing just 37 inches, it’s light enough to tow easy and shallow enough to run into coves. The 28-gallon fuel tank gives you a solid day on the water.

This rig handles the kind of boating people do here: morning runs on Whitefish Lake with the chop manageable at cruise, or an afternoon crossing to a quiet bay when the wind picks up. It’s the right size for watersports if that’s your thing, and nimble enough to feel like you’re actually driving instead of just pointing. Call us at 406-862-8594 to see the 185 BR at Whitefish Marine.
