Hello fellow iBoaters.
I am going to be buying a 2012 Bayliner 185 BR around May.
I just had a few questions about the motor packages.
Standard motor is a 135 HP:
3.0L MerCruiser engine package with effortless automotive-like power steering. Highly desirable for watersports where frequent turns are likely.
Carburated (Carb TKS)
Alpha 1 Sterndrive
I looked at boattest.com for there review, and its top speed was about 40 MPH, which is a little slower then I'd like, but the 0-30 in 8.6 is too slow for my liking.
So, I was wondering what the major differences between the 190 and 220 HP engines were?
190 M/CA1
(4.3L) Perfect performance engine upgrade if you want to pull adult skiers with minimal drag and several passengers on board. Recommended for buyers boating at altitude.
Carburated (Carb TKS)
Alpha 1 sterndrive
220 M MPI/A1 4.3L
Performance upgrade. Perfect if you want to pull adult skiers with minimal drag. Recommended for buyers boating at altitude. A bit more kick than the 190 HP 4.3L due to the additional horsepower.
Multi Port Injection
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Alpha 1 Sterndrive
220 M MPI/A1 4.3L
Performance upgrade for environmentally conscious buyers. Perfect if you want to pull adult skiers with minimal drag. Recommended for buyers boating at altitude. A bit more kick than the 190 HP 4.3L due to the additional horsepower.
Multi Port Injection
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Emissions Control Technology (ECT)
CARB Compliant
Alpha 1 Sterndrive
So, what i gather is the 190 HP engine is carburated, one of the 220 HP engines is carburated, the other is Fuel Injected.
What will the major differences between each engine be?
I will mostly be using the boat in Inland lakes (Haliburton, Ontario) and Lake Ontario, (Hamilton/Burlington bay) and out into the actual lake, and Lake Erie (Port Dover/Turkey Point area)
