Default Bayliner 2858 Command bridge (1987)

I also agree about the low-speed maneuverability advantage of twins. Being
able to select forward and reverse independently is very important in
difficult docking situations. The only time a flybridge gets uncomfortable
is in heavy seas. Being higher up magnifies the effect of the boat rocking
around.

A Bayliner 2858 Cammander Bridge equipped wih a single engine OMC 460

seem
to be a good choice for my needs.


Is it funny to drive a flying bridge ?


...I find that a Flying bridge gives you a MUCH better view all-around and

that
it's actually easier to pilot from there vs a lower bridge. The single

engine,
28ft Bayliner you mention might be a little harder to manuever in

windy/current
docking conditions, flybridge or not.... the bridge WILL have more of a

'sail'
effect in windy conditions.

A single engine is it enough for a 28th feet ?


...See above, but power-wise, yes.

caracteristic when it's windy.
