The Bayliner 185 2005 vs Bayliner 335 Cruiser Cruiser 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Bayliner 335 Cruiser Cruiser 2012 tops out at 260 hp. Engine specs for the Bayliner 185 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bayliner 335 Cruiser Cruiser 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Bayliner 185 2005 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 Cruiser Cruiser 2012 could be the deciding factor.
