Pffft and you thought trucks and sxs's were a pain in the ass :D . Congrats man, I know yall will enjoy it!
Oh I know and heard horror stories. That’s why I bought a clean one with super low hours that is cheap to maintain. Pretty good at making cheap dependable also. And I t can’t cost even close to what I threw at the 3 Pioneers between 2016-17 lmao. Ain’t changing hobbies just adding one now that the other got cheaper.

Know what you mean. My dad bought an older Bayliner when I was in high school (18' I think?) and we had an absolute blast on that thing. I want to say he paid $3500 or something for it, but it was clean like yours. It was a great boat; don't really remember him having to work on it much.

The stories are mostly the s***ty outboards they had. The boat itself was fine.

Yep it’s got the pos night rider gauges. Not a fan. Was going for the 3.0 but couldn’t pass up this with the 2.3 Pinto engine, but read they are only 7hp different. So ya I bought a Ford (and a spark plug thingy to boot), everyone can give me s*** lol.
Nicest 30yo all original boat I’ve ever seen. 1000$ ready to go with tabs. Stupid not to buy it in this economy. Keeps the truck/camper package old school, drive around playing Aerosmith and some Bobby Brown!
She’s in good shape. And here’s the dash you like.

Gotta be always looking and haul ass like crazy to go get it. Buddy at work told me about this on Facebook, I can tell you that the turbo on the Cummins was spooled up good through town.
Always be looking then yes or no.

Funny though it is. Unbelievable a bit in a Bayliner lol. Had factory snap covers on and boat cover in a nice garage. Even decals weren’t faded and in great shape. Engine looks almost brand new totally stock. Everything works as it should. I wish I could take care of stuff that well but we use it.
went out today and it ran perfect and was so quiet and smooth. Did overheat, previous had the prop impeller go out his last trip, I found out those are supposed to be replaced fairly frequently. When it went I think it filled water pump/thermostat with the rubber pieces. So I’ll clean that out and throw new thermostat and water pump at it.
But ya other then that it was perfect.
