1986 Bayliner Capri 1600 BR 16' Bowrider Force 85 HP with Galvanized Trailer
I have owned this boat for a year, and the guy I bought it from was the original owner.He kept pretty good care of it except the upholstery. I had the upholstery redone recently so it is great now. I didn't have the side trim redone (see pics) but it was fine for me and it can be done for cheap if you want. The carpet is great except for a few stains here and there (see pics). The floor is rock solid with no soft spots. The boat runs absolutely perfectly and I haven't had a single issue with it. The Force 85 HP motor fires up and runs without any issue every time I have used it (10-15 times this summer). I was able to hit 32mph with 4 people, a dog, cooler, and other stuff on board. The coast guard sticker states it holds 5 people, however I have had no issue with having 6 normal sized people, a dog, and gear on board. I just changed the impeller/water pump gaskets and the lower gear oil as part of regular maintenance. The engine also has new spark plugs. Again, I have never had a single issue with the motor this is all just routine stuff to make sure it keeps running for many years.All of the gauges work as well as the depth finder! The bow lights work, and it has a brand new horn! Has a new Dual radio with 4 new speakers. The radio has am/fm/cd/aux/Bluetooth, and has a powered radio antenna.Has a brand new dual purpose marine battery (1 month old). This was a bigger one than the original so you can run the radio for longer without worrying about the battery. The marine batteries are different in that they are rated to be powering accessories with the engine off whereas a car battery would fail after a short while.Everything else in the boat works great. The seats slide up and down, there's plenty of storage under the seats and under the center cover, and the window opens and closes/latches. The steering is solid and the throttle cables are tight with no slop. Shifts forward to reverse and back again with no issue. After every time in the water I've pulled the plug in the back and NEVER had even a drop of water come out. Has a bilge pump behind the gas tank but it isn't hooked up and I'm not sure if it works, and never needed to find out!I will include an anchor and ropes, as well as an oar (never had to use it but just in case!). Also includes 2 hose adapters (to run the motor off the hose, and an extra plug or two for the back. Has a trailering bar to protect the motor and transom during towing.The trailer is galvanized and the tires still have plenty of life, and includes a full size spare with tire. Both wheel bearings were replaced about 3 months ago as part of routine maintenance. The trailer also has brand new LED brake lights/turn signals, and a brand new trailer jack (cranks the wheel up and down in the front).Located near LAX. I have a hose hookup so I can easily start/run the boat.Comes with a cover as seen in the pics, and was always stored covered. Previous owner kept it in a garage.Tags and mussel fee paid till 2017.NadaGuides shows low retail on this as $2100 and that usually means serious mechanical/cosmetic problems which this boat does not have.Asking $2000 FIRM and will include a fresh full tank of gas. I'm selling because I want to get a boat that can hold 9-10 people. No trades.
