    Looking at buying a 2006 Bayliner Cierra 2455 that has seen better days at auction with an eye to restore it. Not sure what to look for.

    As stated, if you have deep pockets and are a glutton for punishment have at it.

    1975 oday 22

    Ok I get it, I suppose the panels will be quick release so you can stow them down below when sailing.

    Most likely it was varnished at some point.

    Good call, the deck and cabin top on a sailboat needs to be obstruction free as possible. Anything can trip you up.

    It's been a half century since I had a car with a clutch. A throw out bearing was always on my list.

    Baltimore bridge hit by ship, collapsed

    If the engine is directly coupled to the prop shaft that might be why they were coming in too fast, when they tried to slow down it stalled. Just a guess on my part but I think something went wrong with fuel delivery, may explain the black smoke as well. FWIW.

    You obviously don't plan on sailing this boat. Put them anywhere. IMHO

    Can’t get outdrive fully seated

    The o rings on the shaft can sometimes stop it from going in. Grease them a bit and give it another try.

    Two drain holes?

    I'm guessing that it may have had a thru hull fitting at one time to feed water to a live well. If you have no need for it I would cover it permanently by replacing the plate with a solid piece of aluminum. Like you mentioned the hole is in a place where a plug could get knocked out by mistake.

    Two drain holes?

    I think i see daylight thru the hole and have no idea what it's for. maybe you could remove the extra metal plate and replace it with a new solid plate?

    Control replacement/update opinions

    Yes, I suspect new cable and gear would tighten things up.

    Control replacement/update opinions

    If you're comfortable with the present handling which it sounds like you are, I would leave it as is. New steering gear wouldn't effect the pull when getting on plane.

    HI! New Here!

    If you're young and like the adventure the sailboat might be a good idea, you can throw a tarp over the boom and have a bit of privacy and shade.
