    I loved the Bayliner 3288! It was PERFECT for the Chesapeake Bay, and I
    went on many a weekend outing with just my girlfriends. There was a lot
    of interior space, and good side decks for the docking crew. We could
    also go where many other boats couldn't go because of the shallow draft
    (2.8' as I recall) and it was very economical to run. If I had a
    complaint it was that the engine room was really tight -- I kept
    thinking I wanted to add a generator and couldn't see where it could
    possibly go.
    Last year I saw a boat on the Rhode River on the western shore of the
    Bay, and I thought, "Wow, look at THAT boat! Isn't she beautiful!!"
    Turned out to be my old boat. The 3288 has classic lines, and many
    ex-sailors or trawler people would complement me on it.
