Hi Folks I'm new to this site and to Bayliners. With that said I'm Looking at a 1988 2655 with a 5.7 Mercruiser. He;s asking 5900.00
We went for a ride and the boat never planed. The owner said that he had shorted out the trim tab solenoid while working on the engine. When I talked with him last he said he'd get that fixed. So I may go for another ride. Whats the normal speed and RPM. It was running at 3000 rpm if you can believe the Tach.
It seemed like he wasn't to concerned that many of the electrical Items didn't work. The spedo for one . There was no canvas visible although he said he had a bimini I didn't see it. There is A/C so that's a bonus.
How much is a complete camper canvas for this boat?
Oh no trailer either.
Here's a link to the boat,
This is the first big boat we've looked at. Its just my wife and I and will sometimes be a few others. I have a 76-16 ft fish and ski now so I know a little about boats. I've done restorations on old Muscle cars and I'm an Electronics tech so I'm pretty good with my hands.
Should I steer clear and look at some other boats first?
Is there anything I should really watch out for before diving in?
How's the asking price?
The marina where it is is the closest point to the water for us so it's berthed in a good location.
