1985 Bayliner 4550 Pilothouse with twin 220hp Hino diesels

Motivated Sellers, Huge Price Drop!

With over 350 built during her decade of production, the Bayliner 4588 Pilothouse (called the 4550 Pilothouse in 1984-88) has long been recognized as one of the best big-boat buys in the industry. Her classic Pacific Northwest profile is timeless, and an affordable price and comfortable accommodations make her an appealing boat in today’s used market.

Built on a low-deadrise, fully cored hull with a shallow 15-inch keel, the Bayliner’s raised pilothouse floorplan includes two double staterooms as well as a third stateroom/office that opens into the master stateroom. The galley offers full size fridge and freezer, stovetop, oven, microwave, two sinks, and plenty of storage. Sits comfy with L couch around table, and two reclining heated massager chairs. Both heads share a common tub/shower facility, which is a rare find. On deck, a bridge overhang shelters the small cockpit where a pair of hatches in the sole provide access to the engine room. Additional features include a well-arranged flybridge with a dinghy davit, port and starboard pilothouse deck doors, a transom door, and wide walkways. Standard 220hp Hino diesels (250hp beginning in 1991) cruise at 16-17 knots at close to a mile per gallon-excellent economy for a 45-foot yacht. Dinghy is included. Has a 20 hp Honda with steering and throttle controls. Seats 5 for perfect cruise around the bay or run to the local grocery stores. 

This is a great live aboard with a transferable front row slip.
