Hi Bill, Chuck from San Francisco Bay Area. Enjoyed your video. Lots of practical changes that makes the space more comfortable. Currently own a Bayliner 2858 flybridge model. My dream boat is the 4788 and perhaps someday it might happen. The wife likes one level floor plans with moderate stairs. The pilot house and living area is very welcoming. The few stairs to the flybridge is manageable. The bathtub is nice for the wife. I prefer military showers. Question: While underway and up on plane, can one have a conversation in your living room/kitchen area? You did say that the pilot house was somewhat quiet. This model is a big bang for your buck and have a good selection on used boat market. That middle state room is very spacious. I can’t see the wife crawling into bed and that middle state room looks very comfortable. The access points to the engines rooms are a wonderful upgrade and a great selling point for future owners. Do you feel you need bow thrusters ?

Hi Chuck, Sorry for the late reply. I don't feel I need bow thrusters 99.9% of the time. ( Trying to dock with one engine is very difficult. ) Still, no plans to add a thruster. you would need to give up water capacity to add a thruster. Rather have the water capacity. Anything more than at idle would make casual conversations in the salon not comfortable. We stay in the pilot house or fly bridge when motoring. Good luck.

@@engineershomeworkshop2692 Thank you. I thought being in the salon might be somewhat noisy underway above idle. Always pros and cons for every boat. It’s still a great layout and easy to get around with manageable stairs. At 73 , I seem to be able to still navigate steep stairs. However, I am extremely careful with my boat even underway on plane. The wife can’t handle steep stairs at all. A few stairs here and there are OK.

@@engineershomeworkshop2692 Sure did :) Wondering if its doable to put a fridge/freezer- soloution where the old stereosystem and icemaker ar currently located. Do you know if all space behind icemaker is unused? I`m thinking about the space next to the stairs under the stereo. Thanks.
