Bayliner Bayliner Ciera Sunbridge 2651

This 1990 Bayliner Ciera Sunbridge 2651 Cabin Cruiser is in excellent condition, only used in fresh water; Went through a two-phase renovation, first, in 2017, continuing in 2019: Only 370 hours on the 5.7/V8 Alpha One MerCruiser inboard engine with Thunderbolt Ignition system (2017) that's the equivalent of around 10,000 miles on a Chevy truck with a 5.7L 350 V8 engine - runs beautifully; New gamble bearings and bellows (the flexible rubber boot where the shaft exits the engine compartment to the prop drive) installed with a larger prop (2017) for more speed requiring less power, making it more fuel efficient. Full set of new gauges (2017) - better than the original factory ones;New steering wheel with new cables to the drive (2017); New throttle and shift cables installed (2017); Flat screen TV with a DVD player (2017); New Sony stereo installed in the cabin with remote and phone connector at the pilots seat(2017); New seven JBL speakers (two in the cabin, two on the stern, and two mid-ship with a 12 JBL Competition Subwoofer beneath the L-shaped seating) (2017). Exterior gel coat (paint) waxed and buffed (2017) with the name Diversions on it; Black bottom coat repainted (2019); New trim and tilt hydraulic pump (2019); two new 1,000 amp batteries (installed January 2020, originally came with two 600-amp batteries); New upper deck upholstery and comfortable but firm seat padding (2019) very well done in a burgundy/eggshell color combo. Burgundy accent cloth was added in the cabin to complement the upper deck (2019). New Lowrance satellite navigation system, depth finder, fish finder (2019). New engine compartment dual-element heater keeps the temperature between 40 and 46 degrees (October 2019). As you will see in the pictures, the gel coat(paint) is in great shape with the name "Diversions" on the sides and stern. Three tables come with it, a large one in the cabin, a medium table for the stern deck, and a smaller table for the upper deck. Queen mattress beneath the stern sleeps two adults,while the large wooden table in the cabin lets down into a bed that sleeps two adults. An air conditioner keeps the cabin cool for overnight stays. In addition to the interior lighting, floor lighting in the cockpit and stern seating areas, as well as underwater lights are installed on this cruiser. We've just pumped out the restroom tank and filled up the 55 gallon gas tank. My wife, who grew up with her family having a cabin sailboat, missed sailing so much that we just bought a 26 sailboat. NADA says this Bayliner Ciera Sunbridge should be worth appx. $26k (new it would cost around $96k today). Btw, the price posted is less than what we have invested, so we are not trying to make money off this boat. In addition to the deck cover shown in the pictures, we also have a full cover for storing it out in the weather (2019). It only weighs 4,300 lbs., so it doesn't require a powerhouse to pull it. Owned by a retired U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue pilot who still serves in the USCG Auxiliary.

The only negative: The dorm room sized refrigerator needs more freon to get colder, so we simply toss a reusable freezer pouch in the top section and it keeps everything on the shelves and in the door racks cool for day trips. My boat mechanic says it is a $200 fix, which we haven't done, since it works fine as a cooler. After all, when you drop anchor and shut the engine off, you wouldn't want the refrigerator draining the battery.
