NEW!! 2006 Bayliner 175 Review and Ultimate Find !!! 

Anytime!!

Daniel, anytime

Thank you!!! You will love the 175. Awesome practical boat.

watch out for the paper thin hulls all in the name of cheap to build

Thank you!!! You'll love the 1995. Great boats.

Max Morales Jorge me too! I’m going to buy a 2007 Bayliner Discover!

Thank you!!! Hope to get some more very soon.

@@fiero880 that hiss is really annoying in the engine.

Thank you

Yes sorry about the length and thank you for sticking around.

I had a Camaro with the Iron Duke (and a 3-speed auto, blech) and it definitely sounded a bit like grandpa's boat.

I love the 87-89 Capri's they just looked way ahead of their time.

Hi! Im currently looking at a 1995 bayliner capri 1950. I've searched on the net for some information about for have'nt gotten that much out of it. So if was wandering if you could me if these older bayliner is good engine wise? Like engine etc, and if they are good at pulling ski and such ?

Most likely you have the 3.0L mercruiser unless it is an outboard which it should not be. The 3.0 was used in so many boats and search with that information. Awesome engine just noisy.

@@fiero880 I hapen to be looking at at 2006 just like this tomorrow ! - A couple questions: 1) have you found that the motor noise be effectively quieted with good sound-deadening material? (lining the cover and /or other panels-areas?) 2) where do i actually look to inspect condition of transom? 3) I tested a 2002 yeaterday, and the steering and throttle were both rather stiff/hard to move. Maybe saltwater corrosion getting in?.....How "free" should those both feel... or are they really firm for a reason? 4 yesterdays boat i tested had quite a motor vibration at 1500 rpm, but smoothed out below that and above it (side panels and console shaking, etc) - maybe a bent prop, ujoint or shaft? - or do thay all do that. Or should it be smooth without shake thru all RPMs?

I'll have to check that out.

did you get the Hliner or the Ultimate? Is 12 sq.ft enough for under the hood of bayliner 175 3.0?

Hliner. It was the 12.75 sq/yd sheet. Had enough to do the entire inside of the doghouse no issue. I even surrounded the cupholders. www.b-quiet.com/products/b-quiet-hliner For a small fee you can request a sample and see what you'll be working with. If feeling really ambitious, buy two sheets and do along the divider below the cover and seats, and up along the upper rear deck. Cheers.

I'll update, we've now had our little boat for 17 years now and really no big issues.

I’m from New Zealand. Love your in depth knowledge. Thank you for posting.Rgds Rob

Yes I hate that about the insulation. I thought Bayliner added it on the newer models. Hmmm. Well that is the next to do list.

Thanks Ross and I am jealous over your 642. One day though. Thanks again

Good move I wonder if you can't run some Mercury oil and stable combination through your fuel supply line and carb before you shut it off for the year? Definitely need a shot off either way.

How has it held up for you?

My 2004 stingray 185 has insulation This looks a lot like

You only live once. Break down the annual expenses (insurance, maintenance, winterizing & storage) and factor in how often you'll use it. If you won't use it much, rent instead. A good used boat will depreciate in value slowly. If you get a good deal on a well maintained boat, you can resell it if it doesn't work out and recover most or all of your investment, or maybe make a profit!

Jose, Yes I have seen others with 175's with towers. can be found anywhere that sells marine items.

Yes they clunk. Mostly because again on the 175's there really isn't much sound dampening material so you will hear every sound from the engine. Even though the engine has a built in millisecond ignition thing that cuts the spark to allow easier gear shifting. Just shift into gear with one swoop motion to avoid the grinding.

@@fiero880 I just bought a 96 Capri and it was grinding and stalling when shifting. I stood there and watched my mechanic adjust the grinding and stalling right out of it. He would spin something on the cable jacket and he kept doing that until it shifted proper.

Kevin… what was the outcome?

@@realtor-kstocks1649 we bought it, and it works great. Sometimes it takes a little bit for the boat to plane, depending on how many passengers we have. But overall, I’m happy with the boat.

Mine was added by the dealer.

The shifter / throttle control has a panel that pops off giving you access to the mounting screws. On the control assembly itself by the lanyard switch there is a small notch on the plastic. That notch should allow you to pop that cover off.

nope,bayliners are near the bottom really.I have this same boat in a '99 model.these usually are an entry level boats.mine is my first and in great condition and i also love it.not a lot of money invested in it and our family enjoys it about every other weekend during the summer.

The 175 is a very light boat and is amazing with the 3.0. Remember that 3.0 is used on many larger and heavier boats as well. It takes nothing to get to plane.
