Greetings from Cape Cod:

I'm new to this BoatUS page and I wanted to say "Hello"; I have a 2001 Bayliner 2856 Command Bridge. (See Below). 

As you can see I have customized it alot (the flybridge and radar post etc.); what you cannot see is the bow thruster and the customized interior including extra kitchen cabinets, front and rear sun screens, color tv and a 110/12 volt wine celler. The SUMAST-5 has a 7.4 ltr Bravo 111, she cruises at 25 mph and has a top speed of 40 mph. The upper station has radar, gps plotter, vhf, digital & wet compass, fish finder, loud hailer, spot light and anchor windlass along with the full controls. I modified the captain's chair by moving the base back 10 inches, raised the height ten inches and installed a standard captain's chair. The below station has vhf, gps plotter compass and full controls.

I primaily cruise Nantucket Sound, Cape Cod Bay and down toward Newport, RI.

Hello Matt,

I am from Mashpee and I will be taking delivery of my 2002 2858 next week. I would love to see your improvements and find out where you had them done. I want to add a bridge enclosure and yours looks well done. I also like your radar post. Please contact me via e-mail at wlsargent@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Lee Sargent
