bow holds it securely out of the way

until needed.

For catching rays, the 2159 offers

several places to stretch out in style.

You can use either of the bow benches

with their comfortable backrests as

individual spots, or convert the entire

bow to a sunpad with an insert.

On the port side of the cockpit, the

backrest of the passenger seat at the

console has two other positions. It flips

forward to make a backrest for the

bench seat behind it (so you can

stretch your legs and face aft), or it can

be locked in a horizontal position (to

make another sunpad). Everyone will

probably fight for this spot.

A three-step hideaway ladder to

starboard lets you climb out from the

water. From there, you enter the cock-

pit from the center of the transom.

Another three-step hideaway ladder is

built into the bow. Shorter than the

stern ladder, it’s sized to help you

climb on and off when the boat is

beached. There’s a wide pad with a

molded skid-resistant surface at the

bow, to help you board easily from a

dock.

The 2159’s helm features an

adjustable swivel bucket seat. The con-

sole has a full set of analog engine

instruments including a speedometer; a

tachometer; a voltmeter; fuel, oil and

temperature gauges; and a drive trim

indicator. There’s a full windshield to

keep you from blowing away while

under way.

Run With the Wind

OK, let’s get under way. First and

foremost, the 2159 is a fun little num-

ber to run.

Our test boat was equipped with

the smallest of the three engine options

available, a MerCruiser 4.3L (Alpha

drive). The standard powerplant — it

was rated at 190 hp — had plenty of

get up and go. With three people and

about three-quarters of a tank of gaso-

gain easy access to the engine. An adjustable

bucket seat, a well-appointed dash and a

wrap-around windshield offer convenience and

comfort to the driver. The bow features a table

pedestal mount and a sunpad insert.
