Owner Experience Review

Owners of the 5788fromBAYLINERdescribe a boat well suited to family cruising and island‑hopping, with multiple reports of Puget Sound trips and plenty of space for entertaining or just unwinding. Several owners discuss planning or completing long‑range itineraries like the Great Loop, noting the model’s comfortable living spaces and practical layout for extended time aboard.

On the water, owners commonly report a comfortable cruise in the mid‑teens (around 15 knots), with top speeds reaching into the mid‑20s; some listings cite about a 20‑knot cruise on MAN 610 configurations. One owner summed up its presence underway as, “You looked like a 60’ ski boat in motion.” That said, recurring prop‑pitch and engine‑matching issues are reported on MAN 610 boats—over‑pitched props can bog the engines and create sooting, and forum advice often points to re‑pitching to meet rpm guidance; a frustrated owner even quipped, “I run about 6.5 knots at idle… lol,” before prop work.

Aboard, the 5788is consistently praised for its three staterooms and two full heads, a galley set forward in the salon, and a separate dinette, paired with a roomy salon and warm woodwork that make sharing the space with family and friends easy. Owners also report successful liveaboard upgrades—such as an inverter with auto‑generator start, LED lighting, a washer/dryer, and updated electronics. Known maintenance watch‑items include forward stateroom leaks (often traced to opening portholes or bedding at rubrails/windows, with fixes ranging from persistent re‑caulking to glassing portholes), and forward head/sump neglect that can lead to flooding underway if not cleaned. Engine‑room access via the lift‑up flybridge/steps is appreciated and space is considered reasonable, but buyers are urged to scrutinize service records and genset history; MAN 610 owners specifically call out the cost of service and note a MAN piston fix applicable to certain serial ranges that should be verified.

Pros and Cons

• Spacious three‑stateroom/two‑head layout with a galley‑forward and separate dinette suits families, entertaining, and relaxed liveaboard use.
• Real‑world reports cite a comfortable mid‑teens cruise with some MAN 610 setups cruising around 20 knots and a confident motion underway.
• Owners have successfully added inverter with auto‑gen start, LED lighting, washer/dryer, and electronics to tailor the boat for extended cruising.
• Recurring forward stateroom leaks tied to portholes/rubrail/window bedding can demand repeated resealing or more invasive fixes.
• Prop‑pitch and engine‑matching issues on MAN 610 boats can cause bogging, soot, and sluggish low‑rpm performance until corrected.
• MAN engine service is reported as expensive, and buyers should verify service history, piston‑fix applicability, and genset/sump maintenance.
