Sea Ray BR180

Get on the water TODAY! I have had many many good years with this boat, but like all great things, this must come to an end-for me. I am selling our family bowrider-it has been very very fun and reliable. I bought it 5 years ago in the spring and the ownergave me a huge jacket of receipts of how it was meticulouslymaintained-which I promptly misplaced, but the highlight: the previous owner used a boat yard to do all his work and in the last season of his ownership the engine was not winterized properly and the block cracked. The yard put in a new engine so it is now a very very low time engine as I live in Glen Ellyn and it is a 50 minute drive to the nearest water-meaning that it got used no more than 6 times a year since I have owned it (it has no hour meter on it but the motor looks nice and clean and shiny). 3 years ago, I had the gimbal bearing, the linkage cable, the outdrive water pump, the zincs and the baffles changed. This boat has never, ever seen salt water. Floors are all solid, carpeting is in good condition, always kept covered-the seats are all in good condition. It comes with a humminbird 595c gps/deptfinder/fishfinder, and a Kenwood kmr-d582bt am/fm/cd/usb/bluetooth radio. I am selling this early so that there is a lot of season left. It has the upgraded interior with both chairs back-to-back so they fold down into benches. It is missing one cushion on the port side (rear) but the way the boat is made, the starboard one has a cooler under it and the starboard one is all finished fiberglass so you dont really even know it is missing-I took the port side out to a canvass shop 2 years ago November to have them make me a matching one for the starboard side and when March came along I called them and they had not started on it so I just told them to forget about it, picked up the cushion and brought it home. I would not recommendthem but the quoted price was $200.00. The interior does have a couple of punctures from accidents thru the years but no tears (nothing longer than 1/2", and no more than 4 or 5 on the entire boat). The hull and rub rail do have a few biffs from the years but again, nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing that really is even noticeablebut I buff this thing at least 1x a year and when I do, I notice them. It has an aluminum 3-blade prop on it that has the paint rubbed off the leading edge but no nicks. The scag has 1 big nick on it but it was that way when I bought it.horn, blower, tilt, bilge all work just fine.comes with the bow and rear canvas covers and the originalbimini top-the top is not in great condition but it has no visabletears, the rear cover has a hole where the support pole is so I put a funnel over the support pole and it works just fine for storage.The trailer is in ok condition with new tires last season-no weatherchecking at all, and it comes with a spare-it does not have fenders on the trailer-I bought it like that and never missed them.I have titles for both the trailer and the boat in hand-registration on the boat is good thru 2019.I looked on the NADA used boat listing and without the accessories, without the trailer the low retail for this boat is $5850, so that is what I used for the buy-it-nowIf sold with the buy-it-now, I will include an anchor (used), a super screamer(tube-used), the rope to pull the tube (used), a kneeboard(used), 3 lifejackets(used), ropes(used), an extra 4 bladed aluminum prop that has never been used.Of course, there is the water test-which I am happy to do with the purchaser. I am willing to drive the boat to Channahon (Big Basin), YOU will need to show up with a vehicle with a 2" ball that you can use to tow this home, I will show you how to put it in the water, put the trailer on your vehicle, fire the boat up, take it for a drive, demonstrate everything, and then you will be on your own (unless you bring beers, I might stick around if you wanted me to and show you where the sandbar is).Upon auction close, $500 deposit is required-balance to be paid in cash at the water test or when it is picked up if no water test is wanted (I have cooling earmuffs and can start it in my driveway)It comes as pictured-please ask all questions before bidding and good luck.
