The Bayliner's 4550 Pilothouse Motoryacht was the queen of Bayliner's fleet in its time. It's a great-looking boat with excellent accommodations for liveaboard or long-range cruising.
Pilothouse Motoryachts differ from more traditional motoryachts in that they have a separate, fully enclosed helm raised above deck level similar to bridges found on large commercial vessels and workboats. The arrangement has the advantage of providing the helmsman an easily controlled environment (heat or air conditioning), a navigation table adjacent to the helm, and ample protected space for sensitive electronics gear.
The 4550 has a second complete flybridge helm. The hulls are constructed of a fiberglass composite with a core throughout. The hull is supported by a system of longitudinal stringers and transverse frames of plywood encased in fiberglass and resin.
The deck of the 4550 is arranged with three separate areas; the foredeck, flybridge, and aft cockpit, and because the main saloon extends the full width of the boat, there is no direct access from the foredeck to the cockpit.
The foredeck has plenty of room for storage of ground tackle, fenders, and lines. The side decks, leading to access doors on either side of the pilothouse, are wide and well guarded by welded stainless steel rails for secure passage.
The flybridge is reached either through a companionway from the pilothouse or ladder from the cockpit and has plenty of room for lounging or entertaining.
The aft cockpit is only about four feet deep although it is over 13 feet wide and can easily accommodate several deck chairs. The flybridge overhangs the cockpit so it is easily enclosed if an owner wishes.
Very comfortable accommodations are without a doubt one of the most attractive features of the 4550. Starting with the master stateroom forward. It features a center island double berth and is one of the largest most comfortable staterooms I have ever seen on a boat this size. There are his and her hanging lockers, drawers beneath the bed, and a large adjoining head complete with a tub and shower.
To port and just aft of the master, the stateroom is a smaller single berth with lots of storage. This can work great for children, as a nursery, or as an office.
Moving aft is a second port side stateroom with a private entrance and what I would describe as a large single or small double berth. There is storage beneath the berth although no hanging locker. Across the hallway is a second head with a stall shower.
Working your way aft and up several steps is an all-electric galley is to port with all the conveniences of home - a microwave oven, upright refrigerator/freezer, and even a trash compactor. Aft of the galley is the main saloon which extends the full width of the vessel with very large windows on each side for an outstanding view. There is an L-shaped settee to port with a Hi-Lo table that serves double duty for cocktails or dining.
Propulsion is provided by twin Hino diesel engines which were built in Japan and marinized in the U.S. by MerCruiser prior to 1991.
