4087 Cockpit Motor Yacht

A popular model during her production years, the Bayliner 4087 is a cockpit version of the Bayliner 3587 Motor Yacht. From the outside the 4087 appears to be a straightforward cockpit yacht with little to differentiate her from other cockpit boats her size. But looks can be deceiving; the 4087 provides three staterooms where her competitors offered only two. The third stateroom is located beneath the (elevated) dinette, and while it’s not really a full-size cabin, there is a roomy double berth and partial standing headroom along with a privacy door and a large hanging locker. To accomplish this innovative floorplan, Bayliner engineers moved the galley up into the salon and employed a somewhat awkward combination of three doors forward leading to the two staterooms and the head. If the salon dimensions seem limited, the owner’s aft cabin is surprisingly comfortable and includes a walkaround double berth, vanity, and a private head with separate stall shower. On the downside, the engine room is a tight fit. A transom door in the cockpit makes boarding easy. Cummins 270hp diesels cruise the Bayliner 4087 at 20–22 knots.
