THE BEST ON THE MARKET

SOLD -- SOLD -- SOLD

ALASKA READY

This is a 'must see' boat. It will be a dream you will not be sorry you acquired. Look at the WHY SELL section below. SOLD

Want features and conveniences found on newer boats without paying new boat price? This boat is loaded for comfort and optimum performance for extended cruising with its water maker, house electrical system, furnace, freezer and other features. There is a load of storage and space for everything. The present owners would live aboard for 4+ months every summer as they cruised along some of the Inside Passage. They had been to Alaska in their previous boat and were planning to return again with this boat. The mechanical systems and exterior were professionally maintained regularly. The owner’s mechanic would annually be given a list of requests for installation and improvement. This has to be one of the best 3988’s around anywhere. Look at the list of standard equipment and the extensive list of added equipment and features.

WHY SELL?

One of the first questions you should ask is why is this boat for sale if it is so great? This is the sixth boat we have owned and it fulfilled our wildest dreams of a package for our plans. After 42 years of boating we are forced to give it up and spend our time reflecting on our many wonderful memories and experiences. Unfortunately, health issues for both of us have created this unplanned decision.

As you look through this posting you can see that we wanted comfort and convenience. We hope someone will want to enjoy it and care for it just as we have. Our pride of ownership sets this 3988 apart from most if not all like it.

Interior

The standard features of this layout were what attracted us to this model in the beginning. The ease of the traffic areas, ample seating at the el shaped settee for six or seven in the lower salon with more seating up at the upper el shapped settee. We added a recliner for additional comfort and that is included with the boat if the buyer wishes. If not we will gladly use it in our home. This recliner is movable to access storage and the electrical panel as well as the engine hatches if needed. With the upper all electric galley we were able to enjoy conversations with those in the salon. The added freezer is in the guest area and easily accessible for galley needs. The dual refrigerators provided lots of cooling space. One of the dual air conditioning units serves this total open area.

Guests have their own stateroom and head w/ shower and private access from their stateroom. There is a heater outlet and an air conditioning outlet as well. The queen bed has storage under. The headboard has storage under as well as a double shelf for lots of stuff. Because of our extended cruising we used some of this spacing for our storage and relocated items with guests aboard.

The master suite with the queen island berth has dual hanging lockers as well as six drawers for personal gear. Under the bunk is ample storage of gear as well. We have also created a secured storage area here that is not obvious without needed knowledge. A heater outlet and air conditioning outlet is locaed in this space. The master head is very spacious with its own heater outlet to warm the head before bathing. The enclosed shower and tub provides options and the watermaker can compliment the tub. With our cruising style we never wanted for water and regular bathing. The vacu flush heads are an added comfort.

Systems Controls

The additional systems and improvements of our boat have been selected and installed for maximum effect and performance.

Master Control Panel: All systems are set up at the master panel for both 12V and 110V. This allows for ease of control and monitoring. Everything is protected with circuit breakers.

Electrical: The charging system is a Prosine 3000 wattt inverter/charger. It provides 24/7 110 power for all needs. This has been a very comfortable and comforting addition for our cruising. The 6 no maintenance AGM batteries have 210 amp hours each . The 8KW gen set keeps this system charged without having to find shorepower. In addition to the standard outlets we have added outlets to the cockpit and bridge. The dual 50 A shore connections are there because of the air conditioning units.

Heating: The diesel Webasto 2010 hot water furnace is an awsome system providing maximum even heat throughout the boat. Each of the 6 zone outlets in the boat has a fan control for off, low or high utilizing the heat/radiator for that location. If you do not want the heat in that area the circulating hot water continues on throughout the boat and returns to be reheated. This also heats a tank called Everhot that supplements the usual 11 gallon hot water tank. All of this is handled through an electronic digital thermostat.

Air Conditioning: There are two units factory installed, one is 16,000 BTU's in the salon and the other 12,000 BTU's in the master stateroom. Since they are reverse cycle units they could also provide heat. Usually Bayliner boats with the air were manufactured in the south. This boat was custom ordered from Marysville with the air units. We even have a video showing some of the construction and assemblage there.

Bridge Enclosure: This area is like another room and is totally comfortable in all weather. We have regularly operated the boat from here. The Strataglass provides a 360 degree view at all times for maximum operation and enjoyment. There is an additional matching helm seat for a second person. With the auto pilot control the boat can even be handled from this position. We have also put in controls for the windlass operation. These are not items Bayliner included. The hardtop extension over the cockpit also gives an outdoor extension for the bridge. This is a great place to store bulky items such as extra fenders, buoys or even a dunnage locker.

Watermaker: The 400 gpd Village watermaker allows for constant fresh water. Because we cruised in remote areas the availability and quality of water was marginal at best. We loved this addition. There is a remote control panel in the salon.

Cockpit: Beyond the usual access to the boat this area has been transformed into an area protected from the weather. Chairs, a table, and equipment can be out at all times. There is also fishing rod storage for up to 8 rods. The original raw water washdown bib has been transformed into a fresh water bib great for cleanup including a fish cleaning station. There are the custom side pocket lockable storage units on each side. There is a fire extinguisher and full carpeting (brand new, never used) available. Line storage is under the ladder. A 110 V. outlet is here too. You have quick access to the swim platform and the electric davit for the dinghy. Carrying the dinghy in a horizontal position gives greater visibility out the stern.

Ground Tackle: The 44# Bruce anchor, 200' of 5/16" HT chain, 300' of rode backing it up allow for maximum anchoring in any conditions. This anchor is rated beyond the recommended size for this boat.

Engine Room

The space of the engine room has been maximized. In addition to the usual layout of the engines are the dripless shaft seals that keep the spaces dry. We have added an oil change system with three lines, one to each engine and the gen set. One can drain and add oil from this manifold. The water maker is located here for easy access for maintenance and monitoring. Access valves are also accessible for the air conditioning, watermaker, and wash down bib. The furnace fuel filter is here as well as components of the heating system. Between the engines are the house batteries enclosed in their own custom battery box. The 3K inverter charger is mounted in the ceiling out of the way and easily accessible. The port engine exhaust is customized with stainless bends to maximize flow. All is laid out without encumbering access.
