Description

The 1997 Bayliner 3788 Motor Yacht represents the perfect blend of spacious comfort and reliable performance. Designed with an expansive flybridge, a fully enclosed lower helm, and a bright, open salon with panoramic windows, this cruiser provides comfortable year-round boating in any weather. The two-stateroom layout features a private master berth, a separate guest cabin, and a bathtub/shower, making it ideal for extended weekend getaways or liveaboard adventures. Meticulously maintained and turnkey-ready, this classic cruiser delivers unmatched volume, stability, and value for its class.

Powered by twin Cummins 6BTA engines with 1700 +/- hours, she cruises nicely at 20 mph at 2400 RPM. Economy speed is 10 mph, which translates to around two and a half miles per gallon. She’s equipped with extra (4) Bennett trim tabs and jump’s up on plane easily. Speed capabilities are appreciated to outrun storms and to make long crossings much shorter. The Cummins 6BTA is one of the most manufactured engines in the world. Filters, hoses, and engine parts can be sourced at most any auto parts store.

Moonshine has just finished the Loop with a testimony to her reliability and sea worthiness. The length, draft, and air draft are features that make it so well aligned with Looping success and safety.

Many upgrades and equipment adds (estimate $90,000) were performed prior to beginning the Loop.

As the owners, they chose the Bayliner 3788 because she’s nimble, easy to handle, economical, very comfortable and has a lot of storage and room to live.
