Here is the long version, in case you are interested:
We are selling our 1986 Bayliner 3870 "Miss Miranda" to move up to a larger vessel.
We've taken good care of her for the short time we've owned her. Her major upgrades include:
• Wesmar bow thruster with controls at both helms
• Espar diesel forced air furnace - glow plug replaced this year
• Westerbeke 8k generator
• Custom cockpit hardtop
• New flybridge enclosure from King Marine Canvas
• New cockpit enclosure from King Marine Canvas
• Upgraded house batteries to 6 6 volt batteries (660 Ah) with new magnum inverter/charger, and char`ging relay that lets both alternators charge the house bank. Includes a link 2000 battery monitor.
Board the boat via the swimstep, which has a Roskelly-Olson SS davit for the dinghy, an 8.5' Baltic with a 2.5 hp Suzuki 4 stroke outboard. Swim step support s were refastened with oversized bolts at last haulout (03/11).
Enter the enclosed cockpit, with a custom hardtop cover put on by a previous owner. We replaced the cockpit canvas in July of 2011, adding hooks to the bottom of the hardtop so that most panels can be swung up when not in use. One of the aft panels has the canvas shaped to go around the magma gill mounted on the rail. On the port side is the ladder to the flybridge, and in the floor of the cockpit are large hatches to access the engine/storage space.
Enter the salon through the sliding door. To the port is a large, C shaped setee that seats 10 easily around a custom table installed by the prior owner. We had the legs of the table modified so it can drop down and be fitted with cushions to make a huge berth. In the aft starboard corner is an l-shaped cabinet housing a wet bar, icemaker and storage, with a rack for glass storage above. Forward to starboard is the lower helm station. Forward to the port of the salon is a large flat area just under the windshield - where we put the TV/entertainment center. We replaced the fluorescent lights on the sides of the cabin (behind the curtain valences) with strings of warm white LED lights. They provide more light at lower power with a much nicer color. We also had a full set of curtains made for the salon with a local craftsperson that has the original Bayliner patterns. The curtains go around the side and rear windows and provide plenty of privacy when desired.
Down three centerline steps from the salon is the U-shaped galley to starboard and the guest stateroom to port. The galley has a 4 burner Princess range - stove and oven - powered by propane. Solenoid switch is in the kitchen, tank is up on the flybridge. Above the range is a large microwave oven. There is abundant counter space which can be supplemented by a flip up counter section on the port side of the range as well as pieces that can cover the twin basin stainless steel sinks. There is plenty of shelf and cabinet storage space. On the aft side of the galley, facing the range is a brand-new Norcold 7.4 cu ft AC/DC refrigerator freezer. Kitchen lighting is provided by a new LED circular dome light and fluorescents to the starboard and overhead.
The guest stateroom is to port, with standup headroom, a large hanging locker and a large Queen sized berth aft. There is storage in a locker above the foot of the bed and in a large headboard at the head of the bed. The inverter is housed in a cabinet in the port after corner of the cabin. Forward is the door to the guest head with sink at port and new masterflush fresh-water head to starboard. Forward is the access door to the stand up shower/tub combo. The switch and pump for the shower drain were replaced in 2010.
Moving forward in the companionway from the galley, a day time door to the guest head is to the port and the master stateroom is forward. The Queen sized Island berth features a 5" foam mattress topped by a new 1.5" memory foam topper. Above the berth is the forward hatch, where we added a skyshade system allowing an opaque shade for sleeping or a screen for letting in the sun. Surrounding the berth is a bolstered headstand, which has storage forward and shelf space to the side. Shelves are above, around the portlights on both sides, with halogen lamps built in below.
There are reading lamps on either side of the berth and a new LED dome light at the foot of the berth. To the aft port side is the entrance to the shower/tub and the ensuite head is on the starboard side, just aft of the hanging locker. The master head has also been upgraded to a freshwater masterflush unit. There is plenty of storage in the master, with drawers under the berth and to the port side. There is a huge storage area that can be accessed by lifting the matress. This is also the access to the bow thruster and battery. The anchor chain locker is accessed behind a cabinet door forward of the berth.
Deck walk around:
At the foredeck is the anchor pulpit with a large delta-style anchor on all chain rode. The Muir cougar windlass has new footswitches on the deck,controls at both helms and a canvas cover. There is a hatch just starboard of the windlass for anchor snubbing equipment. The deck non-skid was redone with Kiwi-grip paint in 2010. The foredeck has a centerline hatch over the master berth and port and starboard hatches above the master and guest heads. Side rails and grab rails provide safety when moving down the side decks. Pumpout, fresh water and diesel deck fills are on the starboard side, while a diesel fill is on the port side deck. Dual 30 amp shore power connections are on the starboard side just forward of the cockpit. Cockpit access to the side decks is easy via built in steps and grab rails.
From the cockpit, climb the ladder to the flying bridge. When the ladder is not in use, there is a hinged cover for safety. The flying bridge helm is on the centerline and is the main navigation station, with a built in captain's chairs. Wrap around seating on both sides and aft can easily accommodate 10 guests. The helm station has full controls, including the Garmin 740s Chartplotter/Radar/Sonar display and a DSC-enabled VHF radio. The bow thruster and anchor windlass controls can also be accessed from this station. Visibility is 360 deg and excellent thanks to a new flying bridge enclosure with headroom of at least 6'3". On nice days, the centerline windshield panel zips up and out of the way to attach to the bimini frame. Aft on the flybridge, a section of the enclosure zips up to access the sun deck over the cockpit - equipped with railing all around. Side sections of the enclosure can also be opened on those summer days. The sundeck provides room for a couple of chairs and a table, and we stored our dinghy and paddles across the back rail.
Systems:
The boat is equipped with a westerbeke 8kw generator. It runs well, and had the fuel solenoid replaced in 2010. When at anchor, we run it for an hour per day to recharge batteries, heat water, etc.
There is an espar DL5 diesel heater which supplies both staterooms, the guest head, galley and salon. The glow plug and screen for the heater were replaced in 2011.
I had major work done on the DC electrical system in 2011. The house bank (was 2 8Ds) was replaced by 6 6 volt batteries, providing 660 Amp hours, enough for several days on the hook. The inverter was replaced by a magnum 2000 watt / 100 amp inverter charger, and charging relays were added to allow both alternators to charge the house bank. DC electrical system usage is monitored by a Link 2000, which shows current Amp hour usage as well as total usage. It is a must for managing power consumption.
We replaced (almost) the entire sanitation system in the fall of 2010. New masterflush heads were installed and new sanitation lines were run from the heads to the holding tank and from the holding tank to a new deckfill for pumpout. The system was converted to freshwater flush to minimize odors.
The macerator (for overboard discharge) was replaced in 2011 when it was found to be leaking. The freshwater supply lines were replaced recently when they were discovered to be leaking (and discovered, to my surprise, NOT to have been replaced in the initial install).
The noisy domestic water pump and accumulator tank have been replaced with a Jabsco variable speed pump. It provides higher peak pressure when needed and has nearly silent operation. I replaced the fresh water tank monitor with a WEMA monitor and gauge located at the lower helm.
Engines and running gear:
The engines were inspected and serviced immediately after I purchased the boat (2010) by Earl Summerfield, the "Bayliner Guru". He replaced belts and impellers, removed, serviced and replaced at least one broken injector, replaced tach senders, adjusted valves and changed oil/filters.
Later, I discovered that the port engine exhaust riser began to leak, and engine temperature began to elevate.
I engaged Mike Kronefield from Able Marine Diesel to diagnose the problem. He discovered seawater mixed with coolant, entering via a worn seal around one of the head bolts. He removed and completely disassembled the head and had it magnafluxed to insure that it was not leaking. He also discovered salt water entry into the number six cylinder. He replaced both the cylinder and the liner. While this was going on, we also removed the manicooler, rodded out and rewelded the heat exchanger bundle, repaired corrosion to the manicooler and had it ceramic coated. The exhaust riser was replaced by a SS, ceramic coated riser from Greenwater exhaust. Engine was put back together, valves adjusted, systems tested, now "good as new". Feel free to ask Mike….
While the engine work was being done, the transmission coolers were replaced and transmission fluid changed.
The port side prop shaft was found not to be true, so it was removed and trued. While the shafts were out, the packing glands were replaced and the props repitched and balanced by Kruger and Sons. Finally, the outboard trim tabs were beginning to deteriorate, and were replaced. While that was being done, we added small shims to the actuators to give the tabs another degree or two of lift in the down position.
All underwater running gear was treated with antifouling coating, and the bottom was painted. All this was completed by March 2011.
