Bayliner 2655

[East Cardinal]

Had a 2455 for a while. close quarters manoeuvring takes a bit of concentration and planning.
Fun when on the plane, but not nice in choppy water at below planing speeds.
Difficult to embark if not moored stern in on some of the shorter marina fingers, needing to clamber over bow.
It was one of those boats that are great for 2 days....day you buy......day you sell!!
Sold it bought a RIB, much better.

Had a 2755 for a couple of years and loved it, the longest single leg we did was Cuxton- Brighton, it had a 7.4 and a top speed of just over 40 knots....on a flat day but even so, as long as you played the tabs and leg it was fine in less than perfect conditions, nothing broke or fell off and I was sad to see it go...that engine was so smoooth.
