Description
1997 Bayliner 3788 Command Bridge | CASPIAN
Twin Cummins Diesels • Lithium & Solar Upgrades • Covered Moorage
CASPIAN brings together dependable Cummins diesel power, a comfortable two-stateroom layout and an impressive package of owner upgrades. With dual helm stations, a bright galley-up salon and a spacious flybridge, she offers plenty of room to enjoy year round cruising and time aboard with family and friends.
Owned by her current owner since 2017, CASPIAN has cruised the Columbia River from Astoria to Hood River. Detailed maintenance and improvement records reflect substantial investment in her machinery, electrical systems and onboard comforts.
Owner Upgrades & Cruising Equipment
An upgraded 600-Ah lithium house battery bank and 600 watts of solar are standout additions, providing substantial house capacity and solar charging for time away from the dock. An Onan 8-kW diesel generator offers another onboard power source.
The flybridge features an aluminum-framed bimini, seating cushions and an updated Rockford Fosgate stereo—an inviting place to run the boat, enjoy the view or relax at anchor. Four-blade Nibral propellers were installed in 2021.
Accommodations & Comfort
Large salon windows bring in natural light and provide excellent views from the main living area. The galley-up layout keeps the cook part of the conversation, with a Nova Kool refrigerator/freezer, three-burner propane stove and microwave/convection oven close at hand.
A forward queen berth and separate guest stateroom provide privacy for owners and guests. The head includes a Raritan electric toilet with Purasan treatment, shower and tub.
Webasto hydronic diesel heat and Cruisair reverse-cycle air conditioning extend the cruising season and make overnight stays comfortable. Owner records document service and improvements to the heating system. A salon television on a lift adds entertainment without taking up permanent counter space.
Navigation & Electronics
● Raymarine Axiom displays at the upper and lower helms
● Raymarine radar and DownVision sonar
● Cetrek autopilot
● Standard Horizon VHF with AIS receive and DSC
Machinery & Maintenance
Twin 250-hp Cummins 6BTA5.9 M2 diesels have approximately 1,450 hours each. The Onan 8-kW diesel generator has approximately 850 hours.
Owner records document aftercooler service, replacement transmission coolers, rebuilding of the starboard injection pump and injectors, shaft and propeller work, and numerous electrical and sanitation improvements. Transom core replacement is also documented. A 2020 port-engine oil analysis report rated Normal is available for review.
Additional equipment includes an electric anchor windlass, raw-water washdown and transom shower.
Location & Moorage
CASPIAN is currently kept in covered moorage at Parker’s Landing Marina in Camas–Washougal, Washington. Moorage may be transferable with marina approval—an appealing opportunity for a buyer looking for a covered home port in the Columbia River cruising area.
With Cummins diesel power, upgraded lithium and solar systems, year-round climate control and extensive owner records, CASPIAN deserves a close look.
Specifications, equipment and hours are owner-reported and subject to verification. Historical service records and oil analysis do not establish current mechanical condition.
