Bayliner Contessa

Spacious and comfortable, the Bayliner 2858 Contessa Command Bridge is designed around a single powerplant to efficiently and economically deliver performance. Upper and lower helm stations allow comfortable cruising in any weather. Accommodations include a large forward berth and private midship compartment with double berth. The 2858 features an all-electric galley, enclosed head with shower, vanity mirror, and marine toilet for optimum livability. Every Bayliner is designed and built to meet or exceed all applicable standards of the US. Coast Guard, and every one carries the certification seal of the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Everything from gelcoats to carpeting is subjected to extreme climate exposure and stress testing far beyond the limits of normal use. The biggest test comes when the hull meets the water the prototypes are put through grueling performance, handling, and endurance trials. Hull strength, ride characteristics, fuel efficiency, engine performance, and more are all scientifically evaluated. Bayliner seals the transom opening during the lay-up process. Most builders simply cut an opening through the transom of a completed hull, exposing stiffening end grain and inviting decay. No exposed wood means longer hull life.
