Bayliner Discovery 246

An American classic cruiser - an exclusive Bayliner design for serious cruising in a trailerable package.

Discovery 246 is large enough to include a galley, head and holding tanks, and cockpit seating for six, providing cruising comfort for weeks at a time. Yet it is small enough to be trailerable, making all Pacific Northwest waters comfortably accessible. Large cabin windows avoid the claustrophobic feeling of many similar sized small cruisers, and the cockpit and helm are well protected from sun and rain. The self-launching anchor and fender rigging eliminate the need to climb up on deck when anchoring or docking, and the 5.7-liter engine can support leisurely sightseeing or putting the pedal to the metal when desired.
