Bayliner 255: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Bayliner 255SB is designed as an affordable and spacious weekend cruiser that comfortably accommodates four people. It aims to combine roomy living spaces with practical features, making it a capable vessel for recreational boating.

Exterior Design and Cockpit

The boat features a swim platform that extends two feet, equipped with grab handles around for safety and convenience. Dual shore power outlets are also present. The cockpit door is designed to close outward, reducing the risk of accidental falls overboard. The seating arrangement in the cockpit is notably spacious, with a versatile U-shaped configuration that includes a lounger to port. The seat back can be adjusted into a chaise lounge position, enhancing comfort. There is provision for a pedestal table, creating a comfortable conversational area. Additional cockpit amenities include a sink, drink holders, storage compartments, a hot and cold cockpit shower, speakers, and courtesy lighting near the step.

Engine and Mechanical Features

Under the engine hatch, which can remain open without obstructing cockpit access, the Bayliner 255SB is powered by a 300 horsepower Mercruiser 350 MAG engine. The engine compartment also houses dual batteries and an optional Westerbeke generator. The boat utilizes underwater exhaust and through-hull fittings with shut-off valves. All hoses below the waterline are double clamped, adhering to safety standards.

Helm and Navigation

The helm station follows a classic Bayliner layout, featuring Varia gauges with chrome bezels and white faces. There is space allocated for an optional depth gauge and a moving map display. A recessed, self-draining storage area is available for small items. Controls include lighted rocker switches and a stereo remote. The helm seat is double-wide with a flip-up bolster and includes a footrest and tilt steering for comfort and ergonomics. The walk-through windshield has dual latches, though they are not interconnected, which may affect ease of use.

Bow Area

At the bow, the boat offers an optional quick windlass with foot controls and an access port for clearing anchor line tangles. Safety is enhanced by 26-inch high rails, exceeding the ABYC minimum standard of 24 inches.

Interior Living Spaces

Below deck, the forward dinette seats four to six people and can be converted into a berth by lowering the table and rearranging cushions. The table swivels to facilitate easy access. The galley is equipped with a Dometic refrigerator/freezer, multiple storage drawers, and a single basin stainless steel sink with a pull-out sprayer and a no-kink stainless steel hose. Cooking is provided by a single-burner alcohol/electric stove with a kill switch under the lid. Additional galley features include recessed secure storage, a microwave oven, an AM/FM stereo with DVD player, the ship's electrical panel, and a trash receptacle. The standing headroom at the galley is five feet, eleven inches.

Private Accommodations

To starboard, the boat includes a wet head with storage both beneath the sink and behind the mirror. The generous aft cabin features a berth measuring 4 feet 4 inches by 6 feet 4 inches, with a cabin height of 1 foot 10 inches. There is also a covered storage area adjacent to the berth, providing additional convenience.

Conclusion

The Bayliner 255SB offers a well-rounded package for weekend cruising, combining spacious and versatile living areas with practical exterior features and reliable mechanical systems. Its thoughtful design elements, such as the outward-opening cockpit door, comfortable helm station, and convertible dinette, contribute to a user-friendly boating experience. Overall, it represents a capable and affordable option for those seeking a comfortable cruiser.
