Bayliner CAPRI 1500

NO RESERVE 1988 BAYLINER CAPRI 1500

HERES THE STORY, I PURCHASED THE BOAT ON AN classifieds board AUCTION FROM A CHARITY IN AUGUST 2014 AS FRESH WATER, GARAGE STORED, NORTH NJ, ONE OWNER BOAT. PICKED IT UP AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE. THE BOAT WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, RAN GREAT AND OTHER THEN A COUPLE OF MINOR SOFT SPOTS IN FLOOR NEEDED NOTHING. NOW THE SAGA BEGINS, WENT TO NJ DMV TO REGISTER AND TITLE DIDNT EXPECT ANY PROBLEMS HAVING A NJ BOAT TITLE AND CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN FOR THE NEVER REGISTERED TRAILER IN HAND. DMV INFORMED ME THAT THE 1988 TITLE SHOWED A LIEN AND WAS NOT STAMPED SATISFIED AND BEING THAT I DIDNT HAVE A LIEN RELEASE LETTER THEY WOULD NOT ISSUE A TITLE. THE BANK THAT HAD ORIGINALLY FINANCED THE BOAT HAS LONG SINCE DISAPPEARED AND BEING THE PURCHASE WAS FROM A 3RD PARTY CHARITY I COULDNT CONTACT THE ORIGINAL OWNER TO SEE IF HE HAD A LIEN RELEASE. THE CHARITY PROVIDED NUMEROUS DOCUMENTS NONE OF WHICH NJ DMV WOULD ACCEPT. FAST FORWARD AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS OF FRUSTRATION I PURCHASED ANOTHER BOAT HULL AND TOOK MOTOR FROM BAYLINER FOR IT. I DID FINALLY RESOLVE THE DMV ISSUE AND WAS ABLE TO GET A FREE AND CLEAR NJ TITLE IN MY NAME. DURING THE 4 + YEARS THE BOAT HAS BEEN SITTING, IT WAS STORED COVERED, WITH THE SEATS AND CARPET REMOVED (PLANNED TO REPAIR FLOOR) EVERY SPRING THE BOAT WAS UNCOVERED, DETAILED AND WAXED TO KEEP IN AS NICE A SHAPE AS WHEN I GOT IT ( JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES TAKEN 8/4/19) 0 GELCOAT CHALKING.

I HAVE LOST INTEREST AND NOT GOING TO FINISH THE PROJECT, THE BOAT IS WAY TO NICE TO SCRAPE! SO ITS TIME TO MOVE ON AND SELL IT (MINUS ENGINE AND CONTROLS)

WHEN I PURCHASED IT EVERYTHING WORKED, RADIO,SPEEDOMETER,DEPTH FINDER ETC. BUT IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE.

HULL CONDITION

THE HULL IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE FOR ITS AGE WITH NO CHALKING OR FADING ,BEEN WAXED EVERY SPRING SINCE I PURCHASED IT, THEN REWRAPPED AND STORED.

SEATS AND INTERIOR VINYL

SEAT CUSHIONS,VINYL AND CARPETING ARE ALL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND USABLE AS IS, COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING. ONE OF THE THREE CENTER SEATS NEEDS REATTACHING TO FLOOR ( 4 SCREWS)

FLOOR CONDITION

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE BOAT THERE WERE 2 CUP HOLDERS BUILT INTO THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE 3 CENTER SEATS AND WATER INGRESS CAUSE A ROT SPOT THAT I CUT OUT.

HAVING RESTORED NUMEROUS BOATS IN THE PAST I WAS GOING TO JUST REPLACE THE SMALL SECTION OF ROTTED FLOOR THEN RESIN AND GLASS 3/8 DECKING OVER THE ENTIRE REST OF THE FLOOR BECAUSE THE REST OF THE FLOOR WASNT ROTTED OUT.

STINGERS AND TRANSOM ARE ALL SOLID

NO ENGINE OR CONTROLS!NO RESERVE 1988 BAYLINER CAPRI 1500
