Finding a 25-27 foot decent grp towable cruiser on diesel is like rocking horse s..t. But I have tracked down a 1990 Bayliner 2655 Ciera Sunbridge with a single 190hp GMC V8 diesel on a Volvo duo prop leg and bow thruster.
I don’t want to get into the Bayliner V other makes as I know the Bayliner is not built to the same quality, but I am getting a lot for my money, well I think I am anyway.
But what I want to ask is about the engine, what is the GMC V8 like on this type of boat? Is it matched, I am assuming the boat did not have this engine and leg originally.
I am hoping it will be suitable for offshore and estuary cruising, and a rare visit up river. I am not looking for high speed sport cruiser, range and fuel economy are more important.
Thanks in advance Steve.
