cooper30's Full Review:
Bayliner 175Pros: Inexpensive, easy to
learn boating skills on, fun family boat.
Cons: No tilt steering, cramped with 2 adults/3 kids + gear for the
day.
The Bottom Line: Knowing what I know now, I'd hit the boat shows in
early spring and find a good deal on a larger boat with more amenities.
Good entry-level boat, plenty of power for pulling kids
on a tube, and good all around family boat. Not a real high level of fit and
finish though.
This was our first boat and we since we weren't sure if we'd actually use a
boat enough to justify the cost, we bought the cheapest entry-level one we
found.
We don't regret the choice, but we after two seasons, we are trading it for
a bigger one. In the process, we've found that this model really loses its
value quickly.

It is easy to get on and off the trailer and
operate. One thing we didn't like is when at higher speeds, the steering
wheel will turn hard(if you let go) unless you have the lower unit trimmed
perfectly.
As a 6'4"/220 lb person, I had no room behind the wheel and had to sit
sideways when in the driver's seat. Tilt steering wheel would be nice as
well as an adjustable seat. I literally could not sit facing forward in the
seat.
While I said we don't regret the choice, if we were to do it again, we would
go with a larger, more comfortable boat...but then again, hindsight is
20/20. This was a good learning experience for us. We just should have done
a little more homework.
