2001 Bayliner 2455

[TommyJones]

I am looking at a 2001 Bayliner 2455 Ciera with a 4.3l EFI, 210 HP motor. Can anyone comment on the performance aspects of this vessel, as it relates to gallons per hour and overal performance, speed, cruising. Thank you.

go to www.boattest.com but mind they talk about US gallons

I would have thought about 7 gph at 2/3 throttle is about right.

Thanks for the info. Is anybody familiar with the performance of the 4.3l, 210 HP motor on that year model Bayliner? I know the cruising speed is 25 mph and top speed is 34.5 mph, but was wondering about planing out with 4 adults. Its a 5000+ weight craft. Thanks in advance.

I reckon cruising at lets say 15-20mph should give you a return around 5-8gph depending on conditions. Should plane quite easily with 4 adults onboard and should be well on the plane by 18mph

Thanks a million.
