"Bare Necessities" is a 3888 Motor Yacht that has long been recognized as a great value for those seeking a comfortable diesel cruiser at an affordable price. Built on a low-deadrise modified-V hull, the key feature of the 3888 was her innovative mid cabin floorplan with a double berth that extends under the salon sole. She has a lower helm for comfortability when necessary for navigation. There’s a surprisingly large primary stateroom forward and a very spacious down galley between the two staterooms. Note that there are two heads in this layout, one with a tub/shower stall. On deck, the cockpit is large enough for a couple of deck chairs, and there is plenty of seating for a group on the flybridge. This version of the 3888 comes with twin 210hp Hino diesels for comfortable cruising. Fuel consumption at cruising speed is about a mile per gallon, which makes the 3888 MY an extremely fuel-efficient boat in this class.
The owners have taken great care of this vessel throughout the years that they have owned it, and have kept extensive records. They have completed all regularly schedule maintenance on time and by certified mechanics. The 2 Hino engines fire up on command and are in great health. The Westerbeke generator does a fantastic job at powering the vessel when at anchor so you have all of the amenities when you are away from the dock. Feel free to message me and I can send you recent videos of both the engines and genset in operation so you can view the boat with confidence. This is one of the best operating 1990 Bayliners on the market and is a great buy to enjoy time on the water for a long time to come.
