Up for saleis a gently Used 1991 Bayliner Capri 1850 with the ultra-reliable 3.0 GM motor, mated to the bullet proof Mer Cruiser Alpha One outdrive. In an effort to properly paint the picture of this boat I will start with the known history(all documented).
Owner History Timeline:
1991- Boat was purchased new in upstate NY for lake use. Boat has never seen salt water
2010- Boat was purchased off the original owner, the new buyer was an aircraft mechanic and took special care of this boat. It has been stored indoors ALL. ITS. LIFE. During this time frame the boat had a trailer upgrade. The current trailer is a 2014 AMW (American Machine Works) beauty that retails used for over $2000.00
2020- I (current owner) purchase the boat off the second owner. We have used it as a family for the past 2 years and I have taken pristine care of the boat. We have simply outgrown the boat but LOVE this boat. Special Care has ALWAYS been given to this boat. I have EVERYSINGLE GASKET THAT HAS EVER BEEN MAINTAINED ON THIS BOAT TO ENSURE YOU AREGETTING PROPER REPLACEMENTS. That is the kind of care of I am talking about.
Condition:
ExteriorThe exterior of this boat shows VERY well (please see pictures and videos). The gel coat polishes nicely and shows well. OF COURSE, there are SOME small nicks here and there but nothing major. The boat is 31 years old please dont expect showroom BUT it is a great looking boat. I dont go out on the water without SOMEONE saying, WOW look at that Bayliner, what a time capsule. You will not be disappointed.
Interior- Interior is in great shape, ZERORIPS, TEARS, FADE NOTHING. I would rate this interior in the TOP 1% of boats on the market. Carpet is clean, seats are clean and tear free. They clean up well after use and are comfortable. Tinted windows, HUGE radio upgrade. The radio sounds amazing and it a fun addition. NO FLOOR ROT, the floors are solid. ZERO bounce. Boat comes with a nice Bimini Top, ZERO rips. Provides plenty of shade.
Mechanical- The boat has the 3.0 GM motor in it, very reliable motor that runs smooth Please watch my videos to fully understand! The boat Purs! Everything works and is serviced! All gages, options, and extras work!
Hull- Looks GREAT! No beach rash!
Transom- Zero issues! SOLID ZERO ROT!
Maintenance:
Fluids- The boat has fresh oil in the engine, rear drive, power steering.

Single Known Issue: As pictured, one of the vents on the port side have come off, this flew off while driving. I was VERY upset over this. A replacement can be found herehttps://www.classifieds board.com/itm/phone0
They area bout $100.00 a piece and you can sometimes find them locally. I dont feel this should cause a major shift in anyones view of the boat. That is simple and cosmetic. EASY TO REPLACE.
Summary: This boat has been simply well cared for; you probably will not find another at this age in this shape. I, and all other owners have cared for this as if it was a pile of GOLD. She has been polished often, maintained often and I think my pictures and videos reflect that care. This boat is 31 years old, please do not expect showroom. It shows VERY Well, but its not brand new off the lot. Water ready! To ease any skeptical buyers, I am a family of 5 with 3 children and my wife, we boat on this OFTEN. I would NEVER put something on the water that was not safe and sound. PERIOD. Buy with CONDIFENCE! BONUS GARMIN GPS FISH FINDER INCLUDED! OVER $700! Retail!!!!
Administrative notes:
Please do some research, the State of Georgia does not title boats, I believe this may have changed for NEW boats recently but for a boat this age NO TITLE IS ISSUED. Your registration on your name provides ownership. Trailers under a certain weight ALSO are not titled. A bill of sale for BOTH the boat and trailer will be provide and will be used to title the boat in your home state if you come from outside of Georgia. EVERY STATE in the GREAT USA is tracking this information. If you buy the boat and live in a titling state, they will absolutely be aware of how Georgia does their titles. I have a MY current registration and Bill of sale prepared.
