1999 Bayliner 2855 Cruiser 454 Big Block loaded, A/C, Mostly used in Fresh water

Description

A great boat, Located in Oysterbay, Long Island NY. 1999 Bayliner 2855 with a 3 foot extended, after market swim platform (this was a $3000 add-on) This boat has a factory installed A/C unit in it. Electric windless anchor. Camper top canvass, full cover for the cockpit area. Fuel Injected Magnum 454 Big Block coupled with a Duo-Prop Bravo 3 outdrive. Strong enough that we can pull water skiiers, and ski tubes of all sorts, and bot tops out at around 45 MPH, cruise comfortable all day long at 32 MPH. Trailer is not included but I would sell it, details explained at the end.

9 ft 6 inch beam gives you a nice amount of cockpit room to enjoy for several families.

The entire boat has been switched over to LED lighting, it burns 1/10th the energy that it used to, now we can stay at anchor for 8 hours with "all" the lights on and not worry about killing the battery.

We purchased this boat from the original owner about 3 years ago. He bought it new and kept it in a fresh water river in PA. Hehad it professionally maintained with the marina. In the past year, following are the items that I replaced to make the motor run as perfect as possible and be strong and reliable:

Engine driven water cooling pump, and belt driven cooling pump.

Exhaust manifold risers were pulled off and cleaned and gaskets replaced.

New spark plugs and oil change.

Two new Deep Cycle batteries.

New alternator

New starter

New macerator pump for sewage overboard

All new LED lighting throughout the whole boat, burns 1/10th the energy that it used to.

As you can see form the photos, the swim plat-form was a nice add on. It gets used very much when we go out, we enjoy towing the kids around on the floats and they all love having the room of that large swim platform which extends an additional 3 feet out. Also, it holds plenty of weight, we have had ten people on it, and it has a good deep, three step, fold swim ladder that folds down for swimming off of the boat.

Here is the Negative, the items needed.

The maintenance that the boat needs is, the gimbal bearing is worn, part of the outdrive housing. This creates play in the steering. Also the bellows are leaking slowly, so the bilge pump goes on occasionally to keep it dry. But this prevents us from leaving the boat on a mooring so we use the boat off of the trailer. We only use it on average 5 to10 times each year.

The fresh water pump, meaning the one for the sink and shower, it has burnt out. We purchased a new one and it will go with the sale of the boat, just not sure that I will find the time to install it. There are some rips on the outside seat cushions, I believe it is just one cushion but a few rip's, it is the cushion that you step on to get up onto the front deck.

The boat is being because we are financially struggling and something's must go and the boat is on that list. It is being sold as/is, with no applied warrantees or guarantees of any sort. Understand that it is a nice package, a great boat, but will need a few items of maintenance work and cleanup.

Mostof these photos were taken last year after the boat was detailed. In this past year, we have not had the boat detailed or polished so it is a little dirty and could use a good cleaning.

The trailer is not included with this sale, but I would sell the trailer for an additional $2000.00 it is a 2008 double axial and can handle 10,000 Lbs. and a boat up to 32 ft long. We are installing new bearings on two of the wheels this week, and the others have been done last year. It is a decent aluminum trailer and would work out fine for this boat to be transported anywhere in the world. We are missing the right wheel fender, and I do not know the condition of the lights because I don't have the adaptor to plug them into my truck so I have been pulling it around for 3 years without plugging in the lights.

The boat is stored in a yard in Bayville 11709, it is on the trailer. It can remain at this storage spot if need be for a fee of $200 per month.
