Hello everyone, i just bought a 1992 3055 twin merc diesel's for $7000, it's in poor condition as it's been sitting in a back yard for the last ten years & engines have 400 hours each.

Yes on factory. They are 5 cylinder engines. The outdrivers are Bravo.

My boat has the same hull. I have twin SBC and Alpha drives. I can tell you the boat is a very nice design. As you dig into yours if you have any questions feel free to ask away. I have been in just about every area of the boat and can let you know the good, the bad and the ugly.

Hi, thanks so much for the replies to both you guys, Interesting that they are in fact factory fitted, i would not have believed it..

So they are in fact Bravo drives.. As the boat has been standing for so long, do you suspect all 3 bellows to be perished?

The 3055 looks magnificant, are you happy with it? Is yours a diesel?

Thanks!

I think my boat is the same as your's, certainly looks the same. Is yours the diesel?

No, I have 5.0's in mine. I believe that the diesels were rated at 170hp each. I have seen a handfull of the diesel 3055's. I would suspect that if nothing else the bellows are dry rotted. I would replace them. Check the hoses, belts as well as replace the impellers.

Thanks for the compliment. We are very happy with the 3055. Have done a ton of mod's to it to make it even better. People are surprised to find out it is a 19 year old boat, and a Bayliner at that.
