2004 BAYLINER 185 BOWRIDER W/MERCRUISER 3.0 ALPHA 135HP, LOW HOURS

Description

You are viewing and bidding on one very clean and somewhat rare 2004 Bayliner 185 Bowrider with original Karavan Trailer. This survivorhas had only two previous owners. I have owned this boat for the last ten years during which time it has been used approximately five times and has been stored in my climate controlled garage in California.
I estimate this vessel to have less than 30 hours on the clock (there is no hour meter on this particular model) but the previous owners used it less than six times for twelve to fifteen hours total. This beautifulexample has only seen fresh water so you will not need to worry about the issues associated with a salt water boat. If this were a car you would be looking at a 2004 with about 15,000 miles on it..
This Bayliner was just returned from a local Bayliner / Mercruiser technician where they went through from bow to stern to make sure this boat is lake ready. The water pump was replaced, carburetor was serviced, and the oil was changed. We added a new battery about three years ago which has been on a tender since and is like new.
In addition to the service we had the boat and trailer completely washed, waxed and detailed. The gel-coaton this boat looks and shines like new due to how this was cared for!!
Will come with many of the needed accessories summarized below including, a set of mooring fenders, safety flare, fire extinguisher, wooden paddle, anchor, various sized life jackets, AM/FM Stereo with AUX MP3 input.
I have over ninety (90) photos of this fantastic boat however eBay will only allow 25 to be uploaded if you want to see more let me know and I will post.

What it needs?

• Let's be real this is still a used boat and your expectation should be set accordingly. It is selling AS IS with NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. Since this is an online auction you will not be able to see the boat in person (unless local to Los Angeles) so please review all the details in detail - know what you are buying.
• This Bayliner shipped with the standard VINYL flooring, although in good condition is is peeling a little near the center storage compartment (see photos). If I were keeping this boat I would purchase the snap in carpeting which runs between $300 and $500 - the VINYL is very durable but it gets HOT in the SUN.
• The most frequent way to get in this boat is by stepping off the trailer into the left or right rear seat - due to this the seam has split on the left rear seat (see photos) and there are some small perforationson the right... this can be repaired for $100 or less or the entire upholstery set can be purchased for less than $500 on eBay
• At the bottom of the out-drive below the prop is the SKEG - the previous owner pulled the boat from the water without lifting the prop and broke a small part of this off - it does not affect the performance of the boat and can be repaired for less than $100 if so desired parts available on eBay
• Finally there are four or five small marks in the exterior decals - this is common and is from the mooring fenders (I have included photos of this as well)
