[Sold] - Reduced to $69,000!! - (1991) Twin Diesel Great Looper For Sale - Bayliner 3888 Motor Yacht

[@IslandGirlKelly]

I absolutely love this boat. It so reminds me of my first decent sized boat. Everything about it looks similar. My fondest life memories are from years spent on her. It felt so much bigger than 38' due to the beam. I am looking forward to getting back to Florida after years in the UK. This video affirmed my decision to get back there. Many thanks for the lovely review. This one has probably already sold. What a diamond. 🥂

[@GarnockReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it 😎 The last boat my Dad owned was a 1982 Princess 38 and this one brought back a lot of fond memories. This particular boat is still for sale as I only filmed it on Friday, but I'd be willing to bet it sells quickly 😉

[@reedhawkinsrealestate267]

Hey, the boat has had some interest, but we do not have a buyer just yet. If you'd like more info, I would be happy to assist!

[@JamesGramling-o2d]

Don't be fooled by the (bad) Bayliner name. In the '80's and '90's they outsourced the hulls for these bigger boats and they were solid glass (no cores), the engines and equipment were standard marine quality. In 2000 I bought an '86 39ft cockpit/flybridge that was re-fitted with 2 Cummin's 5.9 turbo- aftercooled and took it to Turks an Caicos. Cruised at 18-20 knots - no problems and used inTCI for about 16 years.

[@GarnockReviews]

I've been on many Bayliners over the years, got to know owners of them etc, and always felt the bashing their names gets to be over exaggerated. Your example sounds like the perfect floating vacation home for cruising the islands 😎

[@privateer177666]

BayLiner - the Chevy of the Seas, something for everybody…..

[@GarnockReviews]

They really do!

[@TomLongusa]

Bayliner’s we’re never high on my list of boats to buy, they never made the list actually, but at this price it’s worth considering as a live a board or dock queen doing infrequent location transitions. I’ve spent allot of hours underway aboard a friend’s Bayliner in some very nautically nasty days and the boat always performed as it should. Bayliner did have a very poor production reputation for a number of years and once that became known depreciation and poor resale ability got locked in. But this boat’s been through that cycle and as long as you have a full professional survey done I would look at this boat…as it “appears” to have been well cared for & it’s allot of boat for the price.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks, Tom, and I agree 100%. She would make a great budget liveaboard or a boat for enjoying weekends and vacations aboard. I also agree that a good survey and engine inspection should help squash any concerns. At face value, it didn't appear to be anything major structurally or mechanically to make this one perfect. A couple of weekends with a good scrubbing, varnishing, and polishing, and you would have a totally different looking boat.

[@jacktyler7599]

Perfect timing, too. A month or two to finalize the purchase and get a shakedown under one's belt, then it's off to the Bahamas!

[@GarnockReviews]

I agree 🤠 Plenty of time for any maintenance, repairs, or upgrades, then head south for Christmas in the sun 😎

[@tomthum6818]

I owned a 32 foot Bayliner motoryacht held for five years best boat ever owned. Never had a problem with it would start every time.

[@GarnockReviews]

When I lived in Scotland, Bayliner had a nickname of Bin Liner. Weird thing is, i knew several people that owned Bayliners and would buy them time and time again. I personally would have no problem buying one if I had the time and money.

[@joemorrow7691]

One of the Best Presentations,,,Nice job Guy,,👌

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you 😊

[@DavidMrcher]

cool,australia too dear

[@Ulbre]

Nice walk around as always. I'd probably store the tender on the swim platform when underway (looks like it was at some stage), great cruising from the fly-bridge but not so great when weather turns quickly....fairly restricted view with tender up front. Nice to be able to store it up front though, when in a marina or other situation when it makes sense.

[@GarnockReviews]

I can understand your comment. I personally don't think there is a perfect answer for a tender. On the bow blocks the view, on the flybridge takes up space, on the stern normally blocks the bathing platform and transom access. I guess it's all about compromise and priorities 🤷

[@tuvia4082]

Nice boat (needs some work) great presentation, thanks for sharing.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching! 🤠

30 years old it didn't cost 75 when it was at.the boat show in 91

First ... had to say it ... great review as always, fantastic value!

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks! Well worth the money, in my opinion 🤠

[@Ivan-pl2it]

Had a supercraft 36, single diesel kept in prince william sound. Great old tub for fishing and hunting the islands.

[@GarnockReviews]

Perfect size for easy cruising 🤠

[@AmmoMaster]

WOW I love this boat

[@jamesstuart3346]

Bayliner hulls and engines are just fine. They were able to lower the price point by chintzing all the bolt-ons

[@surreallife777]

We’re looking for a yacht used for under $100,000 live board with a sliding rear patio style window entrance. The more like a condo it is the better. Two bedroom two bathroom. Can you recommend some models in that price range?

[@renerene5370]

Ivm de mooie instap prijs zou ik toch de boot beter laten voorkomen schoonmaakster is niet langs geweest door de boot showroom schoon te maken zal de verkoop sneller gepasseerd zijn. Maar mooie prijs voor zoveel ruimte

[@raymondbigger5699]

Friends don't let friends buy Bayliners

[@Ivan-pl2it]

Brother in law designed and sold to Bayliner a device that measured the amount resin being sprayed while making hulls. Never been around one but heard many thin hulled stories. Trying to dock in strong winds a guy ran over to help pointed and yelled becareful its a bayliner. Are they thin hulled?

[@johnwenzel9252]

$75k for a Bayliner? Yeah right. Friend’s don’t let friends buy a Bayliner

[@miketee2444]

I generally agree. Thier bigger boats aren't as bad. They have a few issues to look for and that resale value thing but if it gets someone out on the water, no harm done.

[@edswope28]

Only the small "redneck yacht club" Bayliners are junk. The bigger ones are a lot better. Reviews will show you that, if you research instead of repeat.

[@bobhorne8410]

Not embarrassed to say one of our first boats was a Bayliner which treated us well. This particular model is Very popular in the SF Bay and Delta area. Great weekender and inland cruisers for cheap.

[@michaeljones7947]

nothing wrong with bayliner

[@johnbecker8304]

1992 Bayliner 3688 good boat. Hino great engines. Maintenance everything with boats.

[@adrianoarchie2712]

It's incredible space for 37 footer

[@GarnockReviews]

I'd never have guessed 2 cabins, a lower helm, galley, dining area, 2 heads compartnents......oh and a bath 😀

[@donaldwilson2548]

Where in Scotland are you from? My great great grandfather came to America on 1862. My family, the Wilson's, come from Bathgate, Fife, and Dunfermline, West Lothian. Thanks for the great video's. Regards, Donald William Wilson, Tacoma, Washington.

[@GarnockReviews]

Small world! My channel is called Garnock as I grew up in North Ayrshire.

[@flyboykfpr]

Not worth anywhere near $78k. Boat has leaks in the master cabin where the top joins, and this model is selling for around $30k.

[@Ulbre]

I'd love to know where these top condition $30K ones are for sale at???? Certainly not at the two biggest online sales websites....all the prices there are fairly in line with this one.

[@GarnockReviews]

I'd love to buy a mint condition example for $30k 🤷‍♂️🤠

[@carlcalvin1479]

Best boat ever for $100,000 or under

[@GarnockReviews]

Not many boats under $100k on my channel can compete 😉

[@ironichumorist]

i appreciate the vessel but the state of cleanliness informs the state of maintenance. hard pass on this one.

[@GarnockReviews]

As far as I can tell, it's only cosmetic work that needs done. I'm not aware of any structural or mechanical work required. There are also service records onboard and the engines have less than 1500 hours on the clock.

[@jimgalligan50]

Plus your can get a grand bank's for that money

[@kowkunt8710]

Did I miss it What is the Range at 10 Knots cruse?

[@GarnockReviews]

I did some Google searches, and it looks like it should be somewhere around 500 miles, including a reserve. You can always hook up a flow meter during a sea trial and get exact calculations if needed 😉

[@clementgoetke2385]

that bucket not very far

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

500 miles is a very good range for a coastal cruiser. I have seen hundreds of forty to fifty foot yachts that cost one to two million that don’t have a better range.

[@stevengingery115]

Where is this Bayliner? I couldn't read it

[@GarnockReviews]

She's based in Jacksonville, Florida

[@jimgalligan50]

But it's a Bayliner, cheaper build boats

[@PatrickRogers-fb9pn]

Too bad too they are good looking boats

[@jaquigreenlees]

Convection microwave = a item that should not exist. microwaves cook from the center of the food out with radiation. a convection oven is a conventional oven that uses ambient external heat to cook from the outside in, just with a noise making fan to blow the hot air around inside. if there are no regular heating elements in the convection microwave then all it is is and extra noisy microwave. btw, if you are cooking something like a roast chicken and want to use the microwave to heat up a cup of coffee that got cold, you are out of luck because some twit put a convection microwave in instead of 2 appliances, you screwed yourself over by accepting the idiocy as a good thing.

[@frankfred3411]

Is it still available I'm a serious buyer thky please

[@GarnockReviews]

Hey Frank, it's still listed on Yachtworld so I assume it's still for sale. I'd recommend giving the broker a call in the morning to try and schedule a viewing. Their contact details are at the beginning of the video.

Transom looks big enough that I'd imagine you could install davits on this one.

[@jimmyanderson1011]

Doesn’t look clean , does the bank own it ?

[@GarnockReviews]

My understanding is that this one is privately owned but not 100% sure. I was working with the broker to film this one rather than the actual owner.

[@suzansmith-mb9ll]

I BOUGHT A CARVER AND I LOVE IT

I've featured several Carvers now, and it looks like I'm getting another in January, too. They make great liveaboards and are normally fantastic value for money.

I love your channel but is this a joke? Really, this boat is maybe worth $25K.

[@GarnockReviews]

I am glad you are enjoying my channel, thank you! As to the price, I've not seen a boat like this for sale in this area anywhere near $25k. The market is certainly shifting across the board, with boat prices coming down as unfortunately demand is down as well.

[@clementgoetke2385]

on a very good day

[@dirttdude]

its not worth 50K.... bayliners are built by accountants, you better believe every single inch of that thing is equipped with the very least expensive materials and parts built by the lowest bidder. boats that are made in China are higher quality

[@GarnockReviews]

Regardless of make and model, I'd always recommend a good survey, sea trial, and mechanical inspection. That way the buyer knows what he is getting into. As to build quality, this one is over 30 years old. In most cases, any defects would have been addressed long before now 😉

[@dirttdude]

@@GarnockReviews Sorry... if you've seen half of what i've seen, this conversation would be a lot different, those boats are crap, lets haul that thing out and see how badly the hull is blistering. Lets take a 1/8th drill bit to the transom and stringers to see how bad the rotting situation is. Lets see the survey.... The thing is junk

[@clementgoetke2385]

they line the bottoms of bays

[@reedhawkinsrealestate267]

Good Morning, I am representing the seller of this Bayliner, and he had a survey conducted a little over a year ago, very clean. The boat is actually in great shape for it's age. Previous owners have kept it up, and all the major systems have been taken care of.@@dirttdude
