1998 Bayliner 2452 Ciera Express

The 1998 Bayliner 2452 Ciera Express is a 23-foot fiberglass cruiser built around a single 220-hp 5.0L Alpha I MerCruiser engine. The hardtop, integrated cockpit with inner liner, and transom boarding platform provide practical comfort and accessibility for a boat of this size and type.

The cabin includes a V-berth forward, a convertible dinette, a full galley, and an enclosed head with marine toilet. The layout balances sleeping and living space efficiently for weekend cruising and day trips.

The hull was sealed during the lay-up process, with the transom opening sealed before water exposure to prevent decay and extend structural life. Bayliner's construction methods include climate and stress testing of materials and prototypes to verify performance and durability.
