The affordably priced Bayliner 305 (called the 3055 Ciera
Sunbridge from 1999–2002) is an entry-level family cruiser
with several attractive features. With a wide 11-foot beam, the
305 is a roomy boat both inside and out. .
Headroom is very good in this boat, and a wide beam results
in a surprisingly expansive cabin. The midcabin floorplan is
arranged in the conventional (generic) manner with double
berths fore and aft, an enclosed head to port, adequate storage,
and a well-equipped galley. In the cockpit, a U-shaped lounge
features a removable table and converts to a sun pad. A wet bar/
entertainment center is to port, and a transom door opens to
the integral swim platform with its retractable swim ladder and
built-in shower. A walk-through windshield
provides access to the bow. A pair of 260hp MerCruiser
sterndrives cruise in the low 20s (about 30 knots top) New Transom Shields / Risers & Manifolds in 2025
