Read the following boat magazine report on this model to find out more about this particular boat.

The 175 has seven-person carrying capacity, so an entire family could fit on board the boat.

Most people will run the 175 in protected waters and on lakes — however, we tested the Bayliner 175 out on the open ocean.

It was a calm, gray summer day. When we exited the harbor, we were met with 2 foot seas.

We immediately accelerated to plane and started tackling the waves. The first thing we noticed was that there was very little shuddering. The 175 felt very solid for a boat its size. There was no flexing of the hull.

Going down swell, the bow didn't bury. In fact, throughout the entire test, the boat's bow never had any intentions of going under.

We had a very dry ride. A small bit of spray was kicked up onto the windshield, but it was more of an aberration than a habit. The 175 tracked straight, too — and it was even more impressive during turns.

At a little over 3,500 rpm, we hit the boat's cruising speed of 32 mph. The 135 hp MerCruiser 3.0 liter stern drive can take the boat to a top speed of 43.3 mph at approximately 4,800 rpm. When we were running through the no-wake zone, the engine was running at 750 rpm and 3.9 mph.

Overall, we were very happy with the ride. This boat isn't really meant for open ocean cruising, but we were pleasantly surprised by the way it handled in the 2 foot seas. Bayliner 175 is a serious contender that is sure to find a devoted following.
