Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 vs Bayliner 335 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 against a deep vee Bayliner 335 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Bayliner 335 2010 measures 32,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 14,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 at 18,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bayliner 335 2010 tips the scales at 12 014 lbs — 9 646 lbs less than the Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 at 2 368 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Bayliner 335 2010 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 carries 28 gallons versus 16 gallons in the Bayliner 335 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bayliner 335 2010 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bayliner 335 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bayliner 335 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 32,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bayliner 185 Bowrider 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
