1998 Bayliner 4788 Pilot House Motoryacht

Great Loop Veteran — Ready for the Next Adventure This well-maintained 1998 Bayliner 4788 Pilot House Motoryacht has just completed the Great Loop and is now available for a new owner ready to continue the cruising life. At 54 ft LOA with a 15 ft beam, this is a serious liveaboard-capable vessel with two staterooms, two heads, a full galley, and three distinct entertaining environments — pilot house, salon, and flybridge. Located in North Fort Myers, FL. The 4788 is one of Bayliner's most respected full-displacement-capable designs, offering a roomy pilot house with easy access to the freshly upholstered flybridge above. The salon has been upgraded with a new ice maker, a larger stainless refrigerator/freezer, and a GE microwave/convection oven. Interior finishes have been refreshed throughout, including newly varnished tables with stainless hinges, new stainless cabinet pulls, and upgraded upholstery throughout. The hull has received new Awl-Grip paint from the rub rail down and a new rub rail — meaningful cosmetic investments that protect and present the boat well for years to come. Heads have been converted from raw water to fresh water, a practical upgrade appreciated by any experienced cruiser. KEY FEATURES • Great Loop Proven — Twin Cummins 6BTA Diesels at ~3,900 Hours This boat has completed the Great Loop, one of North America's most demanding inland cruising routes, demonstrating the reliability of the twin Cummins 6BTA 330 HP diesel package. The Cummins 6BTA is a legendary marine diesel known for its durability, broad parts availability, and strong support network across the US — a significant advantage for long-distance cruisers. At approximately 3,900 hours, the engines are well into their working life but well within the range of a properly maintained Cummins diesel, which routinely reaches 8,000–10,000+ hours with regular service. • New Garmin 1243 XSV Chart Plotters at Both Upper and Lower Helms Dual-station navigation has been fully refreshed with new Garmin 1243 XSV chartplotters at both the pilot house and flybridge helms. Having matched, current-generation displays at both stations means the captain can operate confidently from either position with identical situational awareness — a genuine safety and convenience upgrade on a vessel of this size. The system is complemented by a Simrad autopilot and Raytheon radar. • 40 GPH Watermaker + Westerbeke 12.5 k W Generator A 40-gallon-per-hour watermaker and a Westerbeke 12.5 k W generator (2,315 hours) give this vessel genuine offshore and extended-stay independence. For liveaboard cruisers or those planning extended passages, the ability to make fresh water and generate power without shore hookup transforms the cruising experience — these are the systems that separate a true passage-maker from a marina-bound cruiser.
