Up for auction is a 1999 Doral 230BR Bowrider. This boat is in immaculate condition and is garage kept. It was repowered in 2011 with a Mercruiser 357 Magnum Crate motor. There is approx 11 hours on the motor which is my reason for selling. I have fixed almost everything on this boat and thought I would get more use out of it and just haven't had the time. It gets used for a couple of hours each season and then gets winterized and put away.Everything on the motor is brand new (water pump, alternator, 4bl carburetor, fuel pump, impeller...etc). The motor is flushed after each use and oil is changed annually using Mobil1. It is mated up to a Bravo 3 drive which still has the original shiny outdrive paint and stickers. It has never been bottom painted. The drive fluid is changed annually using quick silver gear fluid. The hull also has no bottom paint and is in excellent condition.The boat is not new and obviously has some scratches. It still has a very nice shine and has not been detailed in years. After a good detailing it would look even nicer. There is a small dime sized crack in the gel coat well above water line. I bought it like that 9 years ago and it has never caused an issue and to me wasn't worth repairing. The seats are in excellent condition with only a small 1" crack in the rear seat in a non-noticeable spot. IMHO.I have a brand new Uniden VHF radio and 8' whip still in the box never installed. Paid approx $180.I have a new 96" 4 person inflatable tow tube. Paid $289The bilge pump is approx 3 years old and has an automatic float.There is a 16 gallon Fresh water tank and small sink and there is also a small toilet with a black water tank that can be pumped out. You don't need to empty by hand thank god.There is a 8' bimini top with sunbrella fabric in excellent condition.I do not have the cockpit covers.Trailer - The trailer is a 2001 Dual Axle Aluminum Trailer with new wiring and leds lights.There is very little wrong with the boat but I want to be completely upfront about every little item so there are no surprises.With approx $250 and half a day of simple repair skills all of these items can be corrected:There is part of the Doral raised decal missing off of the left side and some scuffing of the vinyl graphics due to rubbing against dock one day. A new raised decal can be found on classifieds board for approx $25.The volt gauge tends to stick and the oil pressure gauge also tends to stick. They are all Faria gauges and they have a great warranty program. You can send both back to Faria and they will either repair or send you new ones for a small processing and shipping fee.I have already done this and replaced the Tach and Fuel gauge.The pump for the sink (not to be confused with the water pump on the motor which is new) does not have as much pressure as it used to and may only be good for another year or so. Approximate cost is about $50 and takes about 30 minutes to change.The stereo in the boat does not work. The power and speaker wiring to the stereo works fine so all you need is a new radio. I may even have one laying around that I'd be happy to provide, if not approx cost for a new one is under $100.I have a clear Title with no liens and registration for trailer.This is a no reserve auction so act quickly. It is priced well below market value especially considering the new power plant.It is cross listed so I reserve the right to cancel auction if no bids are received. If you bid I will not cancel and it is all yours.Serious Inquiries Only. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end and balance is due within 7 days of end of auction. I am happy to sea test after receipt of deposit.

Questions
I just googled 230br looking for one of these. Is this one still available. Internet never purges of old stock. I see it's up for auction? How does that work? Is it though this site because I don't see where you bid.
I was interested in the Doral Bowrider but i don't know how to do the auction. I called the number next to the picture of the boat online but it was a wrong number. Can you tell me how to contact someone to see if it's still available? Thanks
