Description
Manufacturer: Bayliner Trailer: Included

Bayliner  Saratoga 2550 Offshore with twin Perkins 4/108 (Diesel) linked to twin Chrysler/Volvo outdrives,Hull in very good condition and not showing any signs of repairs/previous damage,there is a couple of very light parallel scratches in line with front of cabin Starboard side but no deeper than .05 mm easy fix.'Lady Jane ' is the name referred to in the document folder which refers to starting procedures for engines,other documentation is pretty irrelevant . I have been in touch with Bayliner head office and they responded very quickly with the information I had passed to them referring to the plate picture 9 they forwarded me the specification but could not be item specific as to the engines etc as their records only go back to 1976,but they confirmed the build date was 1973 so that makes this lovely old lady some 43 years old,and she wears it well . Internally it is getting 'tired' as one would expect but by no means past the point of easy recovery,there are a few small sections of ply that need chopped out and replaced but are mainly non structural just sides of engine bay/battery bays the boat will come with 2 x sheets of  12mm&18mm marine ply, not that they will be fully needed in my opinion. Head boards/linings are needing attention in the cabin and bridge area,surprisingly the upholstery seems all pretty good but welldeck cover is needing attention.Mechanically all seems to be pretty good but has 'niggles'and I do know that the starboard engine control cable needs replaced and port side leg has a lower bearing 'grumble' there maybe other bits I don't know about as I was left this lovely lady by a family member and as I am no spring chicken my doctor has suggested it might be a bit much for me,sadly I agree so has to go.The trailer is tired also but I towed it some 100 miles but with fingers crossed as was on the weight limit with an 53 plate Discovery it has been towed some distance with a Nissan Navara.Cash on collection only and note the old lady is located some 450 miles NORTH of London.I have located a picture of a VERY similar craft under way on bay,see item number 290941029762.More then happy to answer questions, if I know the answers, and view the boat where she is at the boatyard Arbroath Harbour.I have had quotes of approx £600 to haul it to just north of London.PLEASE NOTE If you do not have the funds in place DO NOT BID and waste my time.
