watch us put it through its paces

PERFORMANCEtest

line on board, it had quick acceleration

off the line and got on plane in about 4

to 5 seconds.

By the way, we should mention that

the fuel capacity of the 2159 is a sur-

prising 56 gallons. That’s more than

many other boats in this size range,

and it will give you almost six hours of

cruising time.

The boat is easy to handle and

responds quickly to the wheel. We did

some tight turns and figure eights, to

put it through the paces, and we were

impressed by how well mannered it

took them.

We did manage to get some prop

cavitation in a very tight turn, but the

hull was listing significantly when it

happened. We measured the noise

level at the helm at wide-open throttle

to be 82 dbA. The engine was turning

3,800 rpm, and our GPS showed 33.4

mph.

Option Menu

All of the features we’ve mentioned

so far are standard on the 2159

Rendezvous. Bayliner’s Advantage

Package offers a few goodies that

you’ll probably want to include, such

as a tilt steering wheel, a digital depth

indicator and a CD player, along with a

Bimini top that has about 6 feet of

headroom underneath.

The Fish Pack is a dealer-installed

option that includes a 67 pound thrust

24v trolling motor with all the neces-

sary wiring and a charger, plus a fish

finder, a pedestal seat for the bow and

an aerated live well. Cockpit carpet

runners are also available from your

dealer.

The boat and trailer package for the

2159 Rendezvous with the 4.3L engine

has a base MSRP of $28,559. That

includes Bayliner’s five-year transfer-

able structural hull warranty. Figure on

adding $1,143 for upgrading to the 5.0L

stern drive. Ask your dealer about the

different trailer options available that

include tandem axles and galvanizing.

Boats like the Bayliner 2159 are

what boating is really all about — run-

ning with the wind. This quick little

craft is fun for an outing and can be

filled with family and friends.
