theres a very recent thread on this do a search for more info. Anyway I had a 2556 and 2858 bayliner, and had great fun in both of them.

I've had our 285 for 6 years now and she has been superb. Any questions feel free to ask away.

I think it must be a 2858 if 2001 paul? We did quite a few channel crossings in ours and did the north sea in a gale, it is much more stable than any other baby flybridge. This is beacuse you go down into the saloon, and so the fly isn't too high, it's a clever design. Amazing space for it's size.

OP - I recommend that type of boat and if Paul is selling it he will make sure it's a good un. Deisel ones are rare, got to be worth a look.
