Bayliner 3258 Aanti

BIN PRICE WAS JUST LOWERED!!!RELISTING AGAIN. BUYER DID NOT COMPLETE TRANSACTION AND LEFT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WITHOUT SEEING THE BOAT.USE YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A GREAT FRESH WATER BOAT FOR THE FRACTION OF PRICEPlease read below.I purchased this boat almost two years ago in August from original owner who sold it only because of service mistake. Air conditioner hose was lose and boat got water in engine compartment and stern of the boatwas submerged in fresh water. It was removed from water right away, water was drained from all systems, engines were flushed and boat was cleaned. It was winterized by marina in October 2013 and has not being in water since. Boat has some minor fiberglass damage where cleat was located on port side, it got broken when boat was removed from water (can be seeing on pictures), otherwise hull is in very good shape. With good buff it will be like new again.Pictures are from December, 2014 when I was there first time since I purchased the boat. I was happily surprized with the condition of the boat. This is my short report (I am retired marine tech and have a lot of experience of salvaging boats). Temperature was 50F that day, so I inspected the boat and found out that almost all the systems and gauges and switches were operable, but one voltmeter gauge on flybridge. Both engines's ignition and fuel pumps and starters were engaged from both controls. Starboard engine starts right up, runs well and sounds really good. Outdrive shifts fine both forward and reverse. Trim pumps work fine both up and down. Port engine does not start, it has brand new starter and it's possible that the cause is in the gimbal bearing being locked up. Did not have time to remove outdrive to have it checked. In worst case if port engine needs to be removed - the engine compartment is huge, or you can pull engine out and work on it in cockpit. In other words there is enough room so you can work inside the boat without any problems.Generator does not start but it turns over with starter and cylinders are filled up with Marvel oil - probably needs some fuses replaced.Flybridge cushions have good vinyl, but foam inside should be changed.Boat is fully loaded, has twin Mercruiser 5.7 250 hp engines, Bravo two outdrives, Kohler generator 5 KW, air conditioner, hot & cold fresh water system, large head with shower cabin, home-style kitchen and can sleep up to 6 people. Flybridge is huge and can sit up to 8 people. I'm attaching all the images I have.Purchased this boat to bring it to Toronto, Canada, but could not arrange transportation to Canada (I did once, but shipper just stole $3000 and never delivered the boat) and boat was stored in marina for a two years now. I have to let it go since my plans changed, my loss is your gain, this boat is totally worth some effort fixing it up and can make your weekends an interesting adventure.There are too many project boats now, but this one has a lot of potential because it has NEVER been in salt water and was just splashed in fresh water.Boat is located in Dubuque, Iowa. If you recognize the storage location please do not show up there without appointment, you will not be allowed to see it unless I authorize it.I have clear title for this boatStorage is paid and boat can be released to buyer ater transaction is completed.NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS, so ask your questions before bidding.PS. My boat has a lot of interest, but someone is trying to sabotage this sale, hitting BIN and stopping auction. It takes time and money to relist it. NO ONE has ever contacted me after hitting BIN and NOBODY has come to viewthe boat, so it was relisted not because of misrepresentation or other reason.I AM NOT GIVING IT AWAY, SO PLEASE DO NOT DO IT AGAIN. I AM AN OLD MAN AND DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PLAY GAMES.My description is based on the informationI received from original owner and my personal inspection... Please do not ask me, if generator and port engine work... I DO NOT KNOW. I had no time to check them, especially generator..., (I prefer inverters anyway). I was not able to turn port engine over by hand (It was cold and if you knowthat Bravo engine almost impossible to turn by hand when all the belts stay on)Consider that they do not work and need replacement. My description is very accurate, for items that I was inspecting.Also some buyers tried to negotiate price telling me that they had an information that boat was submerged completely. I DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF WATER IN BOTH HELMS, GAUGES, ELECTRIC PANELand STARBOARD FUEL TANK. I have more than 30 years of experience with boat repairs, so more than confident that my boat needs minimal work to get running and no major repair needed, but consider the worth...Trailer is not available with the boat, winning bidder will have to arange transportation. It will cost $200 to load boat on your trailer.
