Hello to all you Bayliner lovers. My name is Gordon and we are purchasing a Bayliner and we are torn. Our intent is to live aboard her in the summer months in the great state of Washington. Bremerton to be exact. We are about to retire next year and want to be close to my son and his wife during the summer and love summer in Washington. I lived in Tacoma in the 70's. I do have several questions and was hopeing some of you might be of some assistance after reading the forums.
My wife and I have settled on a Bayliner 4087 or a 4588 as the boats of our choice. We intend to enjoy our retirement years exploring the NW and taking the boat up to Alaska and exploring the NW. I would love to take her down the West coast, but a couple of folks have told us you need at least a 60 footer to do this trip. Well onto the questions.
1. My wife's biggest requirement is a master stateroom with a minimum of a queen size bed. Does the 4087 have a queen size bed?
2. Reading the forums I see alot of discussion about heat. What should we be looking for heat in the yacht? I see some of you recommending a diesel heater.
3. Honestly we are new to this realm and we will be living aboard her for three to four months a year.
4. Can some of you note some good and bad about each model.
I like the 4087 as you get a newer model for the money. My wife wants some room for her and my son's wife to layout and kick back on. I am not sure if the 4087 has room for them to layout. We will be inviting them and some guests from time to time to enjoy and travel with us.
Thank all of you in advance
Gordon
