Monterey 179 SCR

You are bidding on one used 1992 Mionterey 179 SCR bowrider boat with a 3.0 liter 4 cyl. Mercruiser engine and Alpha One outdrive. I bought this boat in PA in 2011. The previous owner used it on a lake for waterskiing. This has been a great, reliable boat over the last 4 years, but I just found that the 4th cylinder has only 75 lbs. of compression and the spark plug shows rust so I know that there is water getting into the cylinder. The engine will NOT start and this may be a cracked cylinder head or leaking head gasket. Either way it is too much for me to handle so it is time to sell.The outdrive had lots ofmaintenancedone over the lasttwo years:New driveshaft and shift cable bellowsGimball housing resealedRebuilt hydraulic pistons and linesNew 4 blade prop (comes with low pitch and high pitch 3 blade prop as well)Top and lower housing oil serviceOther work that was done:New shift cable (2013)New battery (2014)New trailer wheels and tires (2012)New stainless lift motor housing and relaysBimini top was purchased in 2012New starter and solenoid in 2012Other notes:The floor is soft in a few spots. The previous owner braced the front seat frames with pressure treated wood. The missing vinyl trim from the bow is included. The wood backing has rotted and I removed itfor repair. The vinyl trim of the engine cover was removed for the same reason and is included as well. My plan was to patch the holes and not replace the trim on the cover.Full dark green mooring cover for front and back comes with the boat. A new grey trailering cover comes with the boat as well (not pictured)The galvanized trailer is in good shape and ready to drive anywhere. The bearing buddies work well to keep the bearings lubricated. Comes with title.Sold as is, no refunds or returns. Please ask all questions before you bid. Contact me if you want to inspect the boat prior to bidding. Zero (0) feedback bidders must contact me first or I will cancel your bid.The starting bid is much less than my cost on all the work done over the last two years.
