This 2003 Bayliner 265 Ciera (wide body) is the perfect example of the overnight getaway or weekend cruiser. It comes with a custom designed Fabdock (an in-water dry docking system that keeps the cruiser out of the water avoiding the need to antifoul) and also a 2.3 m inflatable tender with a 3.3 hp outboard which can be mounted on the davits located on the swim platform. The vessel can also be purchased without the fabdock for $39,900. It is powered by a 5.7 litre V8 MerCruiser 350 Mag MPI Bravo II sterndrive capable of comfortable, economical cruising in the mid-20 knot range with a top speed of around 35 knots. Due to its layout and extra width, this vessel provides the features of a larger cruiser capable of comfortably sleeping 5 adults in a forward double berth, mid-cabin double berth, and a convertible dinette which can accommodate an extra adult. It also comes with an enclosed bathroom comprising a toilet, shower and vanity, a galley with single sink, stove, refrigerator, microwave, plenty of storage and tableware for 6 adults. The cockpit is spacious comprising a generous L-shaped lounge, removable table, walkthrough windscreen access to the bow, and an integrated swim platform with stainless steel BBQ and boarding ladder. There is also access to the bow via a hatch in the lower cabin. Other features include a power anchor winch, TV, hot water system, fans in both the forward- and mid-berth cabins, stainless steel bow rail, remote controlled search light mounted on the bow rail, bait board, four batteries (1 cranking and 3 house batteries), generous 320 litre fuel tank, HF and VHF radio, stereo, and Lowrance 9" fishfinder and chartplotter. The cruiser has been regularly maintained and serviced and overall is in very good condition mechanically (a documented service history for the period of current ownership is available). The cockpit, cabin and hull are also in very good condition but the clears will need to be replaced. Under the current ownership, the vessel has always been dry-docked and flushed with fresh water after use.
