Howdy y'all!
First time caller, long time listener. I've been interested in bigger Bayliners for about a year now. Almost pulled the trigger on a 32xx last year that fell through, and am now in the
market for a 38xx. I did the 38xx search and found an amazing amount of information and love it. I'm looking at a 3888 today and know from reading things to keep an eye out for
(manicooler coolant, soft spots, radar arches, etc ) and plan on a survey if things go well, but beyond the obvious anything else? Also I came across a post maybe about a year ago
that someone had detailed about yearly maintenance items etc for their boat and can't find it again. So let me ask this? What $$$ do you set aside and for what maintenance down the road?
Bottom paint? (just curious as to about how much that might cost and how often? I think it was done 2 years ago on the boat I'm looking at) Zincs? How much and how often? Oil changes and filters?
Coolant? I read every 2 years, but how much coolant is required? Trying to set up a spreadsheet for a budget to figure out how much I can afford. Oh this boat has the 175 hino's. Here is the
link to the boat: https://www.boattrader.com/boat/1989...yacht-7559045/
Thanks!
