Bayliner 245 opinions on design

[JP Fla]

I am looking for a cruiser with a decent sized aft cabin that is easy to get in and out of. I have looked at pictures of the 245 in the 2004 range, and it looks very nice. Any thoughts on this?

Also, where do you find used ones, I live on the West Coast of Fl. Thanks

I used to own the 2455 ..2k model yr..they haven't changed much until the 2009 model yr....they are a nice pocket cruiser and comes with alot of room....I was comparing other boats in the head, and the bayliner head is full stand up to take a shower....the 245 comes pretty complete and is easy to handle...with the full canvas up, it does become a bear to dock....

the only thing I will recommend is don't get the 5.0carbed/alpha 1 drive ....it's under powered and the boat will be a bear to get on plane with a load on board....
