1997 Bayliner 3488 Avanti Command Bridge

The Bayliner 3488 Avanti is a wonderful mid-size family cruiser. Large bridge with wraparound seating when you want to be together -- aft deck and cabin when you need some space. The 3488 has room to spread out on weekend cruises or at the dock.



The swim platform is large enough to hold a tender. From there it is a step up to the enclosed aft deck. The aft deck has new Sunbrella & Eisenglass enclosure with bench seating port and starboard. Add a couple of deck chairs for coffee in the morning or perhaps a glass of wine at sunset. Aft decks are the back porches of the boating world.



Go through the slider from the aft deck to find the galley to your left and convertible dinette to your right. The galley has everything you need including an Arego stove, microwave oven, Tundra refrigerator, and an ice maker. A counter divides the galley area from a port side settee, which is opposite the lower helm. Entertainment electronics include flat screen TV, DVD, VHS, and sound system. A centerline companionway takes you below to two staterooms and head with shower. The forward stateroom has queen berth and hanging locker. The guest stateroom has a full berth. The head includes shower stall with bench seat.



Above is an enclosed flybridge with wraparound seating that fills the port side of the bridge surrounding a cocktail table. A swivel helm seat lets the captain join the conversation. New Sunbrella enclosures with Eisenglass offer protection from the elements when necessary. Canvas enclosures and twin helm stations offer the versatility to configure and operate the boat to your style. Both helm stations have been upgraded and include three GPS, two VHF radios, two Raymarine color plotters, and two auto pilots. The Westerbeke generator provides convenience when not on shore power.



Re-powered three years ago, the twin 330-hp Mercruiser inboards have less than 300 hours. Sammy Do has been maintained and updated to keep her like new. Professionally maintained, dry stored, with fresh bottom paint, and new electronics, she is ready to cruise.
