1997 Bayliner 3988 Command Bridge Motoryacht

A stylish boat in her day with a rakish bridge and canted windows, 
the Bayliner 3988 is a value-priced family cruiser with roomy 
accommodations and a long list of standard equipment. She’s built 
on a shallow-deadrise modified-V hull with moderate beam and 
prop pockets to reduce shaft angles. Inside, the two-stateroom, 
two-head floorplan is arranged with an island bed forward and a 
double berth in the small second stateroom that extends below 
the elevated dinette in the salon. The master head is fitted with 
a bathtub that provides sitting headroom only since it’s located 
beneath the lower helm station. Large salon windows make the 
interior seem spacious and completely wide open. Additional 
features include a stylish integral swim platform with shower and 
transom door, port and starboard cockpit steps, wide side decks, 
and a comfortable flybridge with seating for six. Most 3988s were 
delivered with twin Cummins diesels. Among them, twin 250hp Cummins diesels cruise 
at 20 knots (low 20s top).
