Summary: I bought this boat in 2004 out of necessity. Previously we owned a used '88 Bayliner Capri, but after nearly sinking once, and the next day the motor vaporlocked leaving us stranded. We decided it was new boat time. We had a budget of about $15,000 for a ... read more

Pros: Great value for the money. Any comparable boat is at least $4,000 more.
Cons: Fit and finish job is not so good (but expected for the money you paid).
Summary: Bought ours in the fall of 2006 and very happy with it. We are taking it to the lake nearly every weekend this summer and can’t get enough of it! We learned to water-ski and wakeboard with this boat in no time. The Mercruiser Alpha One 135hp engine ... read more

Pros: Price, 135hp, waterproof stereo, room and storage areas, galvanized trailer available, full gauges, light weight.
Cons: Plywood floors, uninsulated engine cover (noise), relatively thin fiberglass on sides.
Summary: We used to own a Boston Whaler 150 which was a great boat. Problem was, when we wanted to go up in size, the Whaler line was just too expensive. So, for half the price of a Whaler 17' Montauk, I got a 17.5' Bayliner with the Family Fun Pack (made by ... read more

Pros: Just the right size
Cons: Needs stereo and maybe a bigger engine
Summary: If you're just getting into boating and want to see what water activities you like best, the Bayliner 175 may be the choice for you. I downsized from a 23' Wellcraft cuddy to the 175 because I wanted something smaller in terms of hauling, and I wanted to ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to learn boating skills on, fun family boat.
Cons: No tilt steering, cramped with 2 adults/3 kids + gear for the day.
Summary: Good entry-level boat, plenty of power for pulling kids on a tube, and good all around family boat. Not a real high level of fit and finish though. This was our first boat and we since we weren't sure if we'd actually use a boat enough to justify ... read more

Cons: Very few options and in hull storage feels a little unfinished.
Summary: Just purchased a 2005 Bayliner 175 about a month ago and I must say it seams to be a great deal so far. I paid $11800.00 with dealer prep and shipping I had a tough time deciding between the Stingray 17 ft bowrider and the Bayliner, in the end it ... read more

Pros: plenty of power and room for a 17 footer
Cons: styling would be nicer with a curved windshield and better graphics.
Summary: I started out looking for a used (near new) 18-19 ft bowrider. Quickly I found out that it would be hard to find anything under 10,000 dollars. Then I was told by a friend to check out the 175 Bayliner which could be had for exactly that price because

Pros: Great-looking, Inexpensive, Roomy
Cons: A little bit bumpy in rougher water
Summary: I've had my 175 for roughly 18 months and I love it as much as when I first bought it. It's roomy for a 17-footer; fits my family of three and four friends and still has enough "get-up-and-go" to take us to where we want to go fairly quickly. It
