Classic 1979 Bayliner Saratoga Sunbridge Cabin Cruiser in E Cond. w Trailer !

Description

Hard to find and in great condition for it's age. This nearly one of a kind, old school hand laid fiberglass hull cabin cruiser, has barely 500 original hours on it. It had been in inside storage in a dry climate out west for many years when I got it. It had been owned by a family on Lake Mead in Nevada and when the lake about dried up a few years ago, they stored it hoping the lake would refill, it never has and they sold the boat. Its been a great family boat. We used it several times last year at Table Rock Lake/Branson Missouri and slipped it overnight on weekends at a marina and stayed aboard several nights at both Kimberling City Marina and Cape Fair Marina. The last time out, Labor Day weekend 2016, I changed all oil, engine and outdrive both and installed a new prop. There is also a Garmin 7inch widescreen touch screen 70S GPS and fish finder. It has the best US Lakeview HD mapping and lake software available from Garmin... Other additions over the past year or so have been a new Kenwood stereo system, a new, larger alternator, new starting batteries, new water pump impeller, LED lighting in the cabin, engine room, on the rear deck and under the swim platform. There is also a VHF marine radio with a permanent /pivot mount long range 8' antenna.
The GM/Volvo Penta 260 hp, 350 4bbl and VolvoPenta 280 drive, will push this boat to about 40mph pretty quickly considering it weighs almost 5000 lbs dry and its fuel tank holds 95 gallons of fuel. The engine runs like a top, uses no oil, leaks no oil and it's the old school points ignition system ( no electronics or sensors to take a siesta and leave you stranded in the middle of the lake like newer boats sometimes will). It has Bennet trim tabs that allow you to not only control bow trim, but side to side trim as well. Engine controls are Morse and all gauges and electrics / lights etc, work.
Below deck there is a forward V berth AND a mid cabin which will sleep four adults or a couple with children, comfortably. There is a small galley with a working alcohol stove, a sink with a 20 gallon freshwater tank,an ice box and a private head / porta potty room.
Up on the main deck there is seating for 5-6 people. The upper seats could stand to be re covered but it's all there, just a few cracks in the vinyl/stitching pulled from seams and the cushions in the v berth are ok but could stand to be recovered but not in bad shape considering its all original 37+ year material. There is teak wood everywhere including the really nice swim deck at the rear. There is a nice open deck area for lawn chairs over the engine room. The boat has been fully winterized since this past September and with my job now, I don't know if or when I'll get a chance to take her out this year. My job has me on the road a lot and not knowing whether I'll be home enough to use it, is the only reason we're listing it for sale. When she's washed,cleaned up and waxed, she still turns heads and we got lots of complements and questions about her in the party coves last year. 4800.00 or best offer, serious inquiries only. Could de winterize and take it to the lake n take you for a spin if needed ( unless I'm at work when you come, I work for a boat mfg and am on the road a lot, my wife wont take it to the lake for you or de antifreeze the engine and start it).
You wont find a nicer, running vintage Saratoga model anywhere. There was one on Lake of the Ozarks and ours is the only one on on Table Rock.......No Scammers and I don't need outside people offering to help sell it... This Boat Is Listed On Other Sites and With Couple Of Area Brokers. I Reserve The Right To Remove This Ad Anytime UNLESS It has a Winning Bid On E Bay. If it gets a winning bid on eBay, I will remove it and refuse offers from other potential buyers....Sale includes heavy duty tandem axle trailer with hydraulic surge brakes, bearing buddies on both axles and near new tires. I can deliver this boat for a fair fuel and time expense fee within a reasonable distance from my home..based on mileage and when I can be home from work.... Clear title for both boat and trailer.. licensed and registered and Missouri sticker good til 2019
