"Hi,

"Hi,
I have recently aquired a 2003 bayliner ciera 245 with a 5.7litre merc bravo 3.
I had to purchaes it sight unseen.
I have had it in the water twice and both times it is smokey on start up although that clears up when it warms up.
When i take it out of the water there is a black sooty line along the stern under the swim grid that extends up the port side at the waterline.
Does anyone have any ideas.My worry of course is bad compression and my hope is that it is normal or maybe it just needs a tuneup.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks."
