1989 Bayliner 4588 Pilothouse for Sale – 45 ft – Nanaimo, BC, Canada

This is a one-of-a-kind 4588.

Boatshed kept since 1992. Repowered with 310 Hp Hino diesel engines, with only 158 hours. When the Hinos were installed, new marine Hurth/ZF transmissions, new shafts, propellers, shaft seals and electronic controls were also installed. At the same time, a new 12.6 kW Westerbeke generator was installed and has less than 100 hrs. These upgrades would cost well over $250,000 to do today and provide a level of mechanical soundness unavailable in most 4588s on the coast.

The 4588 is a well-loved design because of its fantastic layout. Each level is accessed by just a few stairs. The cockpit, salon and galley are all on the same level, making it a very social space. Down three stairs and you are on the cabin level with a guest head, a guest cabin, an owner's cabin, and a bunk cabin. From the salon, up three steps, and you are in the pilothouse with the lower helm station, side doors, and settee, making a great space to hang out while underway. Up three stairs and you’re on the command bridge. With a full bimini and upper helm station, the command bridge is the perfect place to whale watch and experience our beautiful coast on a sunny day.
