Step aboard this 1996 Bayliner 3258 Avanti, a versatile and comfortable cruiser designed for extended weekend getaways or relaxed day cruising. With a smartly designed interior, spacious flybridge, and twin gas engine performance, this 32-foot express cruiser offers excellent value and classic Bayliner styling.

Exterior and Cockpit

Starting at the transom, a wide swim platform makes boarding easy and convenient, with an integrated swim ladder and transom shower. The cockpit is roomy enough for socializing or fishing and has a custom removable fish table. The molded steps leading up to the flybridge have been modified to be less steep, creating safer and easier access. Up top, the flybridge features a full helm with great visibility, seating for guests, and all cushions and upholstery are new.

Salon and Interior

Enter the main cabin through the sliding glass door, and you'll find a bright and airy salon with large wraparound windows offering panoramic views. To port is the galley and a settee and to starboard is a dinette that can drop down for additional sleeping space. This area is newly carpeted and there is a TV that cleverly hooks on the window frame when in use.

The galley, located midship on the port side, is equipped with:

• Microwave
• Electric stovetop
• New NovaKool Refrigerator
• New Stainless steel sink and faucet
