Bayliner 285 Sports Cruiser *** HIGH VOLUME FAMILY BOAT *** $ 59,500 *** Under Offer

An ideal entry into the family cruiser market for those looking to get into a bigger family boat with generous accommodation for two couples plus the kids in a twin cabin layout with a sociable cockpit a user friendly swim platform and single engine affordability. What more can you ask in the sub 30 foot range in WA ?

An armour deck style soft touch finish to the extended swim platform rated at 500 kg complete with a Stainless rail, Stainless BBQ and baitboard giving you easy access directly off
the dock with clear access to the transom boot for fenders and ropes through to the Starboard side transom door. Roll back the camper covers for a great day on the water relaxing in the Cockpit with rear folding lounge, flip back mezzanine seating and a storage locker under the aft facing lounge complete with a foot rest for the little legs onboard. A small step up the raised mezzanine level with a large L shaped lounge to Port opposite the Starboard side helm seat with its folding bolster design allowing you to sit or stand for maximum comfort at the helm.

A centrally located Saloon bi folding door pins back to the helm as you step through to the Saloon and cabin area. Bayliner have put a lot of thought into maximising the available space in the 285 Sports Cruiser with three accommodation options available to the family. A forward queen sized berth in the bow with its own privacy screen, wide and deep it should suit most couples. An aft transverse super double with a timber cabin door for ultimate privacy at sea, my wifes favourite berth being quieter than the bow berth, and a very neat adaptation of the Starboard side Dinette to a small double for the kids. 6 berths in a boat of this size is uncommon ! Teamed with the Port side Galley complete with Microwave, Stainless Steel sink and you have the makings of a great weekend away at Herring Bay with the family. Fill the Norcold fridge with the essentials and hope to catch a feed of crays or King George Whiting for the BBQ. A perfect weekend away.

Powered by a single Mercuiser 6.2 MPi V8 stern drive pushing out 320 Hp she will sit all day long at 20 knots, analogue gauges, Digital depth gauge, Volt meter, trim tabs and a recently replaced Simrad GPS / Sounder combination will have the skipper operating the boat with absolute confidence. Tilt the steering to suit you position at the helm for that extra feeling of comfort. With a solar panel fitted you can be off the dock for extended periods while running your smaller appliance through the 3000 wt inverter. This is an ideal family package for the WA market. Neat and tidy and ready to find a new family.
