This 2008 Bayliner 285 is hands-down one of the cleanest boats we’ve seen in a long time — meticulously maintained and in truly immaculate condition. Whether you’re an avid angler or a cruising family, this 28′ cruiser offers the best of both worlds. Clean, capable, and loaded with extras, it’s fully equipped and ready to hit the water this summer.
Powered by a 300hp MerCruiser 350 MAG MPI engine with Bravo III stainless steel dual props, this boat delivers smooth performance and plenty of power. Recent upgrades include new exhaust risers and manifolds, and an electric bow thruster makes docking and maneuvering effortless. Cruising speed is approximately 20 knots, with a top speed of around 32 knots — perfect for both leisurely cruising and getting where you want to go quickly.
The interior is spacious and well laid out, featuring forward and aft double cabins, plus a convertible dinette that allows the boat to comfortably sleep 4–6 people. Natural light flows throughout the cabin, giving it an open and inviting feel.
The galley is equipped with everything you need for overnight stays or extended trips, including a two-burner alcohol/electric stove, microwave, Norcold dual-voltage fridge/freezer, and a stainless steel sink with pressure water. The Seaward 6-gallon hot water tank can be heated via engine power or shore power.
The enclosed head is complete with a toilet, vanity, and shower, and has been upgraded with new taps. A fully enclosed bimini top with clear panels provides all-season protection for the cockpit and helm, making this boat ready for a variety of weather conditions.
Anglers will appreciate thoughtful fishing features such as the aft steering station for trolling, a Mercury outboard with hydraulic steering, custom-built stainless steel handrails with pin-locking access, a starboard-side transom door for easy water entry, and a transom shower.
In terms of utility, the boat comes with an electric windlass featuring 175 feet of new anchor chain and a Bruce anchor. There’s a 30-amp shore power connection, a 120V control panel, a battery charger, and two 12V batteries with a 3-way isolator switch.
Tank capacities include 89 gallons for fuel, 28 gallons for freshwater, and 30 gallons for the holding tank. The boat measures 28 feet in length, has a beam of 9.83 feet, a draft of 3.08 feet, a bridge clearance of 9.08 feet, and a dry weight of 7,266 lbs.
