1988 Bayliner 4550/4558 Pilothouse – Hino Diesels | Located in Penetanguishene, ON

Extensively upgraded and exceptionally outfitted, this 1988 Bayliner 4550/4558 Pilothouse is a standout example of one of the most popular cruising platforms on the West Coast and Great Loop circuit. Known for its spacious layout, reliable twin Hino diesels, and pilothouse versatility, this vessel blends classic styling with modern systems. Ready for long-range cruising or liveaboard life.


Powered by twin Hino EH-700T Turbo Diesels (220hp each) with 1764 hours, she cruises comfortably and efficiently, supported by a 12.5kW Westerbeke generator and a comprehensive Victron electrical system upgrade (2024) including lithium batteries, dual inverters, and 880W of solar power.


Extensive mechanical and cosmetic updates include:

  • Side Power bow and stern thrusters with dual-station controls
  • Updated navigation suite: Raymarine radar, GPS chartplotters at both helms, AIS, autopilot, and dual VHF systems
  • New railing enclosure and Seadek on the flybridge (2023–2024)
  • New swim platform with integrated ladder (2022)
  • Cockpit canvas enclosure (2020)


Step inside to a warm and welcoming salon with L-shaped seating, vinyl flooring, and a 55” flatscreen TV. The down galley features updated appliances including an induction cooktop, microwave/air fryer combo, fridge, and freezer (all 2023) — perfect for liveaboard comfort.

Below, the yacht offers 3 private staterooms and 2 heads, including:

  • A forward master cabin with queen berth and private ensuite with tub/shower
  • Two guest cabins with bunks and double berth
  • A second head with separate shower


The 4550’s signature pilothouse with side deck access makes for excellent visibility and all-weather navigation. Upstairs, the flybridge helm with dual captain’s chairs and canvas enclosure offers commanding views and additional entertainment space.

This vessel is technically dialed-in with major mechanical service already completed, including:

  • Turbo rebuilds, heat exchangers, exhaust risers, raw water hoses (2018)
  • Hull sandblasted, painted, and all thru-hulls replaced (2019)
  • Updated battery banks, inverters, fire suppression, lighting, breakers, and electronics
