Sounds like you don’t have a clue. People start from the inside out because it’s how you make sure the stringers are good before you dump several grand into freshening the interior or getting it running.
You did an excellent job. I just pick me up either the 2650 or the 2750 (I think). It has no ID plate on the stern. I plan to do the same thing you’ve done. I figure a 3 to 5 year project. I wished I could add a picture here. I hope mine turns out as well as your boat. You did a fantastic job!
I have the same 1986 Bayliner Sierra can you help me please.. its in running condition but I have to dewinterize it. Interior needs new look like your boat. How much will you charge im willing to drop it of im in brantford Ontario 🇨🇦 cheers I don't know where to start and how much it'll cost, its my first boat.
Awesome job! I have a 1991 Bayliner Cierra Sunbridge. I have to ask where did you find your switches. My boat horn switch is not working all the time. Any info would be appreciated.
Hi,I need some advice please,I going to buy a bayliner boat just like urs, and it really have some hard work to get done,but that doesn’t matter,what matters is that people keep telling me that indoor motor is not really good to have on a boat,so seems to me that you look like a professional that knows about this Cain of boat,and to be honest they really nice boat, so is true that indoor motor give a lot of problems?
i can tell you exactly and i don't even know the dude. it did cost many cuts and bruises, an unholy amount of cursing, plenty of brain cells, a couple strong but sensitive hands, a strong mind and many tears when paying for the necessary.
Hi, I did the portholes from plexiglass since the originals were such bad condition. Hatch I luckily just resealed and it works fine. You might still find them from pompanettellc.com/product-category/portlights/
@@mhi4299 i have bits and pieces that have been broken off by the previous owner so i can't avoid to replace at some point. thanks alot for the link. the interior was unused (partly still in original plastic packaging lol) but the upholstery on deck was damaged. 320 engine hours, old dude only used it as day cruiser. i haven't dared to try the plumbing yet, i fear the tubes, pumps and fittings are not gonna hold up due to age. :)
I’m trying to wire an electric fuel pump and lights to the main fuse box by the control box in front. Anyone have luck wiring stuff from the engine block to the front control box?
I used glassfibre beneath the dash to fix the cracks. Topside I just sanded, used some spackel to the cracks and finally painted. I found a good set of used gauges so I just replaced them together with blue LED bulbs.
@@mhi4299 thank you so much for the quick response. My family and I are very inspired by your interior restoration. I hope mine turns out like yours :)
Hello, I’m just north of Barrie Ontario. And we bought a 89 Bayliner 2655 Ciera in decent shape. It needs the back bench done, replacement covers on the dash instruments and a bunch of port hole window repairs. Can you let me know where you sourced these parts please?
Hi could you please tell me what you used to line the vberth walls? I really don't care for the look of hull blanket but IDK what else to use that will work with the curves. Thank you! Looks awesome.
You mean the grey fabric? It's just a mold free fabric which really doesn't stretch much. The white fabric which I used on the ceiling is much more flexible and stretches in all directions. Both fabrics are from local shop here in Finland.
Very impressive. I have done similar project last year. A lot of time spend on the boat. Good job. What is the black panel material you use for the cabinets/seats?
@@daverohn383 after 2 seasons there are no durability issues but for sure the material gets stains pretty easy. Better to cover everything if you are working with anything containing oil.
@@daverohn383 for sure you have to be carefull but so far I`ve managed to keep it clean and it can be cleaned with water. I donno about using any cleaning chemicals.
One question for I Don't know anything about boat but I know a good Deal someone is selling a 1989 Bayliner for $500 do you think its worth it for me to take on a project like that the boat is in a nice shape it does need some TLC what do u think
Good work guys it just goes to show if you stick to it it no what it pays off in the end and you get to enjoy the rewards of your efforts
Fantastic job, looks like new. Love these boats, well worth the effort. Enjoy!
Hello. Congrats. Good work! I have allready renew 3 smaller boats. My next project is also a ciera. You gave me some ideas ;)
Fantastic job well done. Inspiring me to do a project myself 👍
This boat is looking good! So nice to see the final result from your efforts. Its giving me some good inspiration for my own channel and boat project!
Wow!! Truly AMAZING job!!! I just picked up a 2555. This was a inspiration for me !! Thank you for sharing.
Doing the same right now. Bought a 1986 Bayliner Contessa. And the guy before me didn't have a clue. Ripped almost everything out of the interior.
Sounds like you don’t have a clue. People start from the inside out because it’s how you make sure the stringers are good before you dump several grand into freshening the interior or getting it running.
Impressive job. Clean and stylish. Loved the craftsmanship. Great job.
AWESOME JOB I feel like I have to take mines bac to the drawing board
Very nice work!
Great job man! Just inherited one of these, looking forward to starting the project 👉
Could you do a walk through of the whole boat pls 😁. Looks amazing
I sold the boat few weeks ago 🙁
yeah!!! I have a similar boat but 1986... I have my channel (3Qs outboard) you do a nice job!!! congrat....
Nice work

Well Done¡¡¡
outstanding work buddy
nice job bro!
I have the same boat and want this done
I have the same 1986 Bayliner Sierra can you help me please.. its in running condition but I have to dewinterize it.
Interior needs new look like your boat. How much will you charge im willing to drop it of im in brantford Ontario 🇨🇦 cheers I don't know where to start and how much it'll cost, its my first boat.
What are your thoughts on the hull fiberglass integrity in 2023. I'm in nz and am looking at bayliner 1989 2455, seems alot of boat for the money.
Nice work. Impressive. How many “you’re still working on that dammed boat!?”s did you get in that time? Lol
very nice bro💖👌
Awesome job! I have a 1991 Bayliner Cierra Sunbridge. I have to ask where did you find your switches. My boat horn switch is not working all the time. Any info would be appreciated.
Switches were original. I just painted them.
Will do some repair as pressure
Pump to increase the wash down pressure and bath lavatory
0:44 engine finished, restoration complete!
bloody wow

Got the same vessel. I am curious as to how much you’ve invested into the restoration?
i can tell you exactly and i don't even know the dude.

impressive work. looks excellent. could you throw me a source for the portholes and the hatch? i got the same model.

Is there any one done a steering cable on a Bayliner 2255 I need some tips

This looks in exactly the same condition as my 2655 - how did you restore the dash and gauges? (This is how it should have come out of the factory!)
I used glassfibre beneath the dash to fix the cracks. Topside I just sanded, used some spackel to the cracks and finally painted. I found a good set of used gauges so I just replaced them together with blue LED bulbs.
@@mhi4299 Thank you, that has given me a good idea how to go about it. Will keep an eye out for gauges. Thanks again!
Where did you get the flooring for the cockpit. It looks really good!!
Search for EVA foam teak
@@mhi4299 thanks!
Did you keep the tarp down the whole floor build? Is it necessary to have one? About to gut and restore a 87 2450. Thank you. Looks great btw
Tarp was only there because of Finnish weather conditions 😁
@@mhi4299 thank you so much for the quick response. My family and I are very inspired by your interior restoration. I hope mine turns out like yours :)
Theres a short video in you tube.. I place an bracket and instal an evimrude 225hp., after I take off the volvo penta 350
HI.. How did you remodel the dashboard, did you make a mould from the origanal and cast in Fibreglass?
Cracking job you did btw, :-) Ive just bought a 91, 2255 and am looking to do it up over the winter
No, I only fixed the old Dashboard (which was badly cracked by the sun) using fiberglass beneath it to make it stronger.

Hi, I managed to found a good used set of gauges from eBay. Port hole Windows I didn´t found in right size so I replaced them with plexi glass.
Love the job you did. I’ve been doing mine , what paint did you use,and did you spray it or roll. Thanks
For the bottom I used epoxy primer and rolled it 4 times to get the required thickness.
Thanks bud 🙏
What was the total restoration cost!

Man how many thousands of man hours did u spend in this! Looks insanely good but also too much work
I think during those 10months I worked with it I spent maybe 1000hours on it. It was hard work but in the end it was worth it 😁
Very impressive. I have done similar project last year. A lot of time spend on the boat. Good job. What is the black panel material you use for the cabinets/seats?
How much it cost u in total?
😍😍😍🇧🇭🙏🏼
you did a great job where did you get the deck mat

@@mhi4299 Have you noticed any staining or durability issues with this decking material?
@@daverohn383 after 2 seasons there are no durability issues but for sure the material gets stains pretty easy. Better to cover everything if you are working with anything containing oil.
@@mhi4299 What about staining from just plain dirt, say dirty shoes, etc...?
@@daverohn383 for sure you have to be carefull but so far I`ve managed to keep it clean and it can be cleaned with water. I donno about using any cleaning chemicals.
What year is that one?
1991
Hi how much money did you put to make it look look that
The reason I ask you is someone is selling one for 500.00 and im thinking about it if its worth it
