1995 Bayliner 2452

What makes this 2452 stand out is how much “big boat feel” you get in a trailerable package. Visibility from the helm is excellent, with a protective windshield and side windows that let you run comfortably when the breeze kicks up. The hardtop and enclosed cabin give you confidence to stretch the season into cooler months, while sliding windows and a wide cabin door keep things airy in summer. Wide side decks and sturdy bow rails make anchoring and line handling less of a circus act. Owners appreciate the simple systems layout—easy access to the engine and batteries—so routine maintenance doesn’t turn into a weekend-eating project.

This 2452 shines in local waters where conditions can switch from calm to choppy in a single outing. The sheltered helm and enclosed cabin let you keep cruising when open runabouts are heading for the ramp. It’s a great match for mixed-use boating days: trolling the nearshore grounds in the morning, then dropping the hook in a quiet cove for an overnight. Moderate draft helps when exploring shallower bays and inlets, yet the hull still feels secure crossing open stretches. Being trailerable, it also gives you the flexibility to explore different ramps and harbors without committing to a permanent slip.
