reviewing a well used Bayliner 2556...

Not enough motor, a 454 or 383 is needed in these boats, been there done that

Since we keep reviving this old thread I’ll give my opinion🙃🤪
May personal experience is if the 2556 is fitted with a Bravo drive the 5.7 does the job quite well. My 5.7 Bravo 2 combo came out of the hole very quick and I cruised 3600-3800 rpm at 28-31 mph depending on conditions. The earlier boats fitted with the Alphas didn’t perform as well.

This might help with those hole shots. Or for when that punk kid tries to overtake you in his dads boat...
