19'' bayliner capri, outboard? Reviews anyone?

Question

Thinking of purchasing a 89 year capri. Its in my price range which isnt alot. What do I need to look out for on these boats?

Answer 1

i had a bay liner boat about ten years ago,their good boats,but be careful ,make sure the engine runs really good on it,mine had a cracked head on it after that was repaired it ran good,if one of those ever gets hot enough it can do some serious damage to the engine,i tested mine out before i bought it,but it started raining and we headed in,run it for at least an hour in the water if they will permit it,see how it does,if it looses power after it warms up,don't buy it,good luck.

Answer 2

Bayliner built boats for the first time buyers,meaning they looked good in the show room and were priced thousands less than other makes.They were built using the very least of quality components and over all had a short life span.This boat is now 9 years old and depending on the type of engine it came with you could be looking at a lot of unwanted repairs and expense.

  Buyer be ware.
