For sale is a very well-maintained Bayliner 265 „Cranky Plumber“ built in 2004. The boat was imported directly from the USA and has been used exclusively privately since then. It is in a convincing, well-maintained condition, both technically and visually. It was first launched in 2004 and a refit was carried out in 2021. Since 2010, the engine and all technical maintenance have been carried out annually, which means that the boat is now in an excellent state of maintenance. The low number of operating hours can also be explained by the fact that the boat was mainly used as a summer watercraft and was rarely taken on longer trips.
As part of the preparations for the 2026 season, the „Cranky Plumber“ was freshly refurbished and professionally cleaned. The engine was also serviced. The underwater hull is also in good condition (see last pictures from February 2026). The boat has therefore been technically checked and is ready for the coming season.
The Bayliner 265 is currently moored in Wesenberg (Germany) and is ready for immediate use.
With a length of 8.10 m, a width of 2.87 m and a draught of 0.80 m, the Bayliner 265 offers ideal dimensions for comfortable weekend and vacation cruises. With a weight of around 2,800 kg and her GRP planing hull, she combines stability, safety and superior handling characteristics. The CE category C rating enables cruising in coastal waters, while up to six people can travel safely on board.
The boat is powered by a MerCruiser 5.7L V8 inboard engine with 253 hp built in 2004. The engine has only approx. 300 operating hours (as of 29.11.2025) and has been regularly serviced. Equipped with dual-circuit cooling, electric starter, Z-drive and stainless steel DuoProp propeller, the engine is reliable, powerful and efficient. A bow thruster makes precise maneuvering in narrow harbours much easier, while the convenient single-lever control allows intuitive control.
The technical equipment includes a 320-liter stainless steel fuel tank, a stainless steel fresh water tank and a plastic waste tank with level indicator. A generous headroom of approx. 2.10 m awaits you in the interior. The cabin offers a total of four berths, a hand-pump toilet, a shower and a well-equipped galley with fridge, electric hob, microwave and sink. This makes the Bayliner 265 ideal for both short and multi-day cruises.
Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GPS, chart plotter, echo sounder, compass, speed indicator, tachometer, rudder angle indicator, and navigation lights. The radio is currently not operational and is not registered in Germany. The electrical equipment includes two batteries (starter and consumer battery), a charger, a 220 V shore power connection, a generator, a pressurized water system, and an electric windlass with a plow anchor. Two electric bilge pumps, a bilge alarm, trim tabs with display, underwater paint, windshield wipers, and deck lighting complete the equipment.
Entertainment is provided by a radio, DVD player, CD player, television and cockpit loudspeakers. The deck equipment includes a bathing platform with stern door and bathing ladder, a bimini top, cockpit tarpaulin, cockpit table, sea railing, boat hooks, mooring lines and six fenders. The safety equipment includes fire extinguishers, life rings, life jackets, fog horn and a valid CE certificate.
Overall, the Bayliner 265 „Cranky Plumber“ presents itself as a very well-maintained, well-equipped and powerful motorized cabin cruiser. The combination of American build quality, high living comfort, solid technology and extremely low engine running time makes this offer particularly attractive for boat enthusiasts who are looking for a ready-to-use and carefully prepared leisure boat for the 2026 season.
