Bayliner 2452 Ciera Express Hardtop Cruiser
1992–2003
The Bayliner 2452 Ciera Express is a compact hardtop cruiser built around a single sterndrive and a weather-protected helm. Its cabin combines a V-berth, convertible dinette, galley and enclosed head in a trailer-friendly beam, making it more practical for short coastal and inland trips than for extended liveaboard use.

- Cockpit and side access are compact
- Older examples require careful inspection of sterndrive, transom and deck structure
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Sterndrive, bellows, transom assembly and cooling system
- Moisture around deck fittings, windows and transom penetrations
- Fuel system, wiring and sanitation equipment
- Cabin leaks and hardtop/window sealing
