Bayliner is a respected American builder of recreational powerboats founded in 1957 and now part of Brunswick Corporation. Known for combining practical design with comfortable cruising capability, Bayliner produces a wide range of boats-from popular family bowriders to larger, well-regarded cruising yachts such as this beautiful Bayliner 3988 Motor Yacht.
The Bayliner 3988 Motoryacht is a popular and well-designed flybridge cruiser known for its spacious layout, comfortable accommodations, and excellent value for coastal cruising. This 1996 model is powered by reliable twin Cummins 250HP diesel engines, offering dependable performance along with the range and efficiency that make the 3988 a favorite among cruising families.
"Lisa J" has been thoughtfully cared for by the same owner for the past 15 years and shows the benefits of consistent maintenance and pride of ownership. Featuring the desirable bleached ash interior, the cabin feels bright, warm, and inviting-an uncommon and sought-after finish that gives the boat a more modern feel than many cruisers of its era.
