My Bayliner 185 bowrider, I have owned the boat for about 7 years and I am changing to something bigger now the kids are older. It is the 4.3L upgrade model which i had replaced with a genuine mercruiser crated engine in October 2017 Receipt below I keep her in the water nowadays and have her jetted off every couple of months. Always serviced Mid season and winterised Comes with trailer BUT I have not used trailer on road since I bought her so it will need servicing etc The only use it gets is being taken in and out of water at the marina. Loads receipts a few attached VHF radio, Navman fishfinder, Bluetooth phone handset, anchor, fenders and ropes etc Covers and canopy in pictures etc Sea trial available for a cost but will be taken off price if you buy her. I have lots of paperwork etc boat has wear and tear as its not new, so any more pictures or videos just ask Any questions drop me a line The boat is in Rochester Kent The pictures were taken this morning 21/06/2020 before I gave her a bit of a wash down, 2 pictures of bow are being cleaned and after so she cleans up easy enough, all vinyl being cleaned this week, about to be antifouled for the 1st time so hull will be white, if your interested and prefer the hull to be left let me know before Wednesday This is a fast boat pulls anything - wakeboards, skis, rings etc.
