SOLD !! — Bayliner 3288 Flybridge Sedan, 1991 — $ 44,900

Described as “The best selling boat in her class with more than 3,000 built during her production run from 1981 – 1995”,  by the editors of the PowerBoat Guide.

This popular family cruiser has just undergone extensive renovations to bring her back to first-class status.  We’ve spent hundreds of hours since January taking care of those pesky details — and many larger projects that included replacing the original ZF Hurth gearbox flex plates — that often owners simply can’t find time to tackle, nor pay a boatyard crew to do.

We are very pleased with the results and think you will be, too.  Just hauled out for bottom paint and hull wax.  She’s all shined up and very clean inside, shows very well overall and all ready to start your boating adventure.

The 3288 model offers voluminous interior space for her length with two large private staterooms.  She has durable, simple and economical twin Hino 4 cyl. diesels, a large flybridge and an enormous aft cockpit with high bulwarks. 

Your family and friends can be assured of a summer of safe and fun boating … as we all get outdoors at last!

The “Yellowbird 52” is running very well.  We elected to replace the dampener plates simply because they were original equipment and the compression spring flanges were overly noisy at idle, as is very typical when paired with the Hino 4 Cyl. engines.  Take a look online at numerous postings on the Bayliner Owner’s Forum for ‘testimonials’ about this being a rather labor intensive, and thus expensive, repair.  All done !

We are quite selective about the vessels we accept into our program and pursue a very rigorous process before they are listed for sale.  This begins with our preliminary introduction when we meet with the donor to discuss the condition and upkeep of their boat.  Once accepted, each new arrival undergoes a thorough examination, similar to what a marine surveyor will do.  This allows us to prioritize our attention to any deferred maintenance or repairs that may be needed. 

Over the years we’ve performed just about every kind of marine repair, from electrical and plumbing issues to all types of appearance enhancements and even rebuilding engines.  If something is not working right we fix it, simple as that.  We prove that her electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are correct, safe and functioning properly.  By doing all of this, we know these boats quite well – top to bottom – and present them fairly and honestly to buyers.  

We encourage you to have our boats professionally surveyed as a part of your purchase process.  By the time we’ve finished and the boat is advertised, we are confident you’ll receive a strong report from your surveyor.  

Thank you for considering PMF boats in your search !
