The 1998 Bayliner 3988 is a 40-foot command bridge motoryacht built on a fiberglass hull. Twin Cummins Marine turbo-charged diesel engines rated at 500 horsepower each deliver a cruising speed of 16 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots. The boat was powered for extended coastal cruising and comfortable weekend getaways, with an emphasis on living space over performance.
The interior is designed as a floating home with two staterooms and two heads. The forward master features an island queen berth, while the guest cabin offers a double berth. The master head includes a shower arrangement. The main salon features large wraparound windows that flood the space with natural light, and a lower helm station allows for weather operations. The galley-up layout and elevated dinette keep the cook integrated with the main living area.
The boat accommodates six people comfortably across its sleeping quarters. With a beam of 14 feet, the 3988 offers substantial interior volume for its length, characteristic of the command bridge design that prioritizes cabin space. Engine hours are logged at 931, indicating modest historical use.
