Bayliner 285

Pros: Low price, smooth ride, plenty of power, trailerable, lots of cabin space.
Cons: Should offer a generator as an option. The fridge is small.

This is a great boat. It's affordable and loads of fun. It handles nicely and has plenty of power. It cuts through the chop with ease. The cabin is roomy with plenty of space in both berths. I wish it offered a generator as an option from the factory and the fridge is a tad too small. I installed an aftermarket generator. It has a room for flat panel displays at the helm and I installed a Raymarine E-80, overkill maybe, but I'll never get lost.

This was the biggest boat that I could buy that was trailerable (well, technically it exceeds mosts states allowable beam but in NC it can be trailered with the purcahse of a $100 annual permit). I've had only good times on the boat, no problems so far. I know others turn their noses up at Bayliners but this is my second one and I've never had a complaint. Great boat, great price.
