Bayliner 3788

Bayfinder, with her twin Cummins 330 engines, has enjoyed a special well-maintained life of traveling and exploring, while fishing and simply living on the water with the same, now aging owners, for the last 25 of its 27 years.

The convenient floor plan includes a large open cockpit for fishing and lounging.  Molded in steps PORT & STBD, along with ample SS safety handholds and railings, provide comfortable access to the foredeck.  Open access to the flybridge above is by her aft facing SS ladder.  The helm is to STBD and generous J-shaped seating surrounds w/storage below.  Above, the collapsable Bimini top includes windows around 3 sides.

When entering the very open salon through its aft sliding door w/screen, it instantly unfolds with windows commanding a 360 degree view.  PORT & STBD windows w/screens can open for cross ventilation.  To STBD is an L-shaped couch which surrounds the adjustable dinette table while the PORT side enjoys space for all entertainment electronics and optional seating.  The wrap around “up” galley is to PORT, with the lower helm to STBD.

Three steps down, the head is to PORT w/stand-alone shower over a small tub, to STBD is the guest cabin w/sink and hanging closet.  The master cabin is forward and also has closets PORT & STBD w/six drawers facing aft under the walk around twin berth.  

Bay Finder knows her way around the extended NW and has even journeyed to Alaska on more than one occasion.  In preparation, this vessel has been equipped with many of the additional elements needed for extended cruising vacations.  This is to include diesel hydronic heat, electric heat, dual hot water tanks, ample batteries, 300’ of anchor chain, a Sea Wise Davit system to assist with the very capable Avon center console RIB tender w/4 stroke 25hp, 2 Cannon downriggers, Fish cleaning box, BBQ, screens, etc.

Although 8 knots is a perfect distance cruising speed, she can easily cruise at 20 knots with a top speed of 25 knots.
