Bayliner 2855 Ciera

Description

"THE GATEWAY" is a turn key ready 1989 Bayliner 2855 Ciera sunbridge. This boat is in really good shape and fully loaded, with a brand new professionally designed interior, a low hours engine and everything working and no leaks. It is about the most spacious and brightest 28 footer you can get, with 6'4" headroom throughout, lots of space (sleeps 6), tons of light. At 10gal/hour, it is also considered very good on gas. Spent most of its life on trailer and used in fresh water. Since the trailer got sold separately, currently kept in a wet slip in St Petersburg, FL (downtown). Just in the past 9 months, over $15,000 of improvements were made.Specifications: Length at waterline: 28' (overall length: 30' with swim platform and bowsprit) Weight: 6250 lbs Power: 275 HP I/O single engine with under 240 hours.

Mechanically sound. The interior is as good as a brand new boat. It is very clean inside-outside. The outside does show some wear but has no leaks or cracks. A good detailing is all that is needed to make the gel coat shine like new again. The boat slip is paid until the end of march. After that the new owner can either pay for it and keep it there ( it is a really nice covered slip in a great location right downtown St Petersburg) or move it. I can also deliver the boat (by water) for an additional fee if desired ($2/nm + gas).If you have any question or need more picture or more information, I will be happy to oblige.
