Manufacturer Provided Description
The Bayliner 2452 Ciera Express is as tough as it is functional. The standard hardtop, innerliner cockpit and convenient transom boarding platform make this a versatile vessel. The roomy cabin space offers a large V-berth, convertible dinette, full galley and an enclosed head with marine toilet. Every Bayliner is designed and built to meet or exceed all applicable standards of the US. Coast Guard, and every one carries the certification seal of the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Everything from gelcoats to carpeting is subjected to extreme climate exposure and stress testing far beyond the limits of normal use. The biggest test comes when the hull meets the water the prototypes are put through grueling performance, handling and endurance trials. Hull strength, ride characteristics, fuel efficiency, engine performance and more are all scientifically evaluated. Bayliner seals the transom opening during the lay-up process. Most builders simply cut an opening through the transom of a completed hull, exposing stiffening end grain and inviting decay. No exposed wood means longer hull life.
