2006 Bayliner 212 CC Description
-
Bayliner Marine is well recognized as one of the most innovative brands in the pleasure boat industry and recently we had the opportunity of attending their rollout of new product for 2006 at the Sanibel resort in Florida.
There, we tested the spacious and stylish, new for 2006, 212CC with a 190 hp MerCruiser 5.0L with an Alpha 1 drive and a 19 inch Black Max aluminium propeller.
The seating configuration featured back-to-back seats in the front with single stern seats on either side of the upholstered engine box. Optionally, the boat is available with swivel buckets forward and a bench seat aft with a sun pad. The 212 interior has a full fibreglass liner for easy maintenance. For easy access to the front deck when docking or anchoring the boat, there is a moulded set of steps and walk thru windshield. At the bow is an anchor locker with roller to fend the anchor off the hull, two cleats and a raised bow rail.
Aft, the moulded engine cover incorporated a step (which could be used as a seat for a child if needed) and gives easy access to the stern. Integrated into the design of the 212 is a swim platform with a ladder in a hidden compartment. This is a popular family feature.
At the helm, we found a speedometer, tachometer, temperature, fuel, oil pressure, trim and volt gauges and a 12 volt accessory outlet. For easy access in and out of the driver's seat, the boat has a tilt steering wheel. In front of the passenger seat is a built in sink with fresh water and a grab rail. There is plenty of storage area built into the cockpit area to accommodate short cruises. There is space under the seats, and the under-floor area is large enough to store water skis or a wakeboard. At the rear of the boat behind the jump seats and engine compartment, there is a storage area for the canvas top to tuck away in.
The cuddy cabin is large enough for two adults to sleep comfortably and has a locking sliding entry door and opening hatch on foredeck both allowing for lots of ventilation on a warm night. The Bayliner 212 cabin is also equipped with a portable head and overhead lights with plenty of storage area on the cushions.
Taking the 212 CC out into the intercoastal for a ride, our immediate impression was how well the boat tracked and responded to every manoeuvre you put it through. From a dead stop the boat accelerated to a speed of 20 mph in 4.24 seconds. Considering the size of the engine compared to the boat, we considered this to be more than respectable. The Bayliner cruised along effortlessly at 3,000 rpm and 33 mph as we took in the beautiful scenery of the intercoastal homes.
Pushing the throttle forward, the MerCruiser showed plenty of power as the boat climbed to a maximum speed of 48 mph at 4,200 rpm. Overall the ride was more than satisfactory and the performance in tracking or responding to tight manoeuvres was impressive.
Returning to the dock, we commenting to one of the Bayliner designers on how well the boat responded and he explained to us what they call the SRS (smooth ride system) hull design. The hull design and engine work in harmony to give good acceleration with lower horsepower achieving optimum fuel efficiency. This is achieved by the hull bottom width being carried forward (gives more interior space in the cuddy cabin too), large lifting strakes (gives great tracking and handling) coupled with the extended running surface all adding together for a smoother ride. Overall the fit and finish of the Bayliner 212CC was quite good considering the attractive price. The new Bayliner 212CC looks like it will win many friends this summer.
