1998 Bayliner 4085 Avanti

Bayliner is North America's top-selling boat manufacturer and has built a well-earned reputation for producing performance cruisers that combine reliability, comfort, and outstanding value. The 4085 Avanti is widely regarded as one of the finest express cruisers Bayliner ever produced. Introduced in the mid-1990s, this 40-foot express cruiser was designed for boaters who wanted serious offshore capability without sacrificing interior comfort or entertaining space. The 4085 Avanti earned a loyal following for its seaworthy hull, practical layout, and twin diesel power that delivers confident, economical range across any cruising ground. The 4085 Avanti spans 40 feet with a 13-foot-6-inch beam that creates a full-beam interior rarely found at this length. Below deck, a full-beam aft master stateroom with a queen island berth and a forward VIP cabin with double berth and upper bunk provide comfortable overnight accommodation for up to six. The salon impresses with a generous U-shaped cream leather settee, dining table, and wall-mounted Samsung flat screen TV, all finished in warm maple cabinetry and complemented by a fully equipped galley featuring a four-burner electric cooktop, full-size fridge, separate freezer, stainless sink, and granite countertops. A private head with full standing round glass shower, vanity, and toilet completes an interior package that punches well above the boat's class. Twin Cummins diesel inboard engines deliver strong, fuel-efficient performance with confident range, and the beautifully appointed helm features a classic burl wood Avanti instrument dash, dual Raymarine MFD chartplotters, Raymarine autopilot, and chrome twin throttle and shift controls.
