I'm thinking about purchasing a 1990 Bayliner Capri 185 w/130 I/O.
Anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with that make/model that
they could send my way? Anything I should be looking out for? This
is a two owner boat and the guy says the thing is mint, but I need
more information than that.


There are some bayliners that use reworked chrysler engines or
something like it ... I hear these motors suck. Look into that...

Check the boat for soft/rotten transom and soaked fiberglass, if you
dont know how then let an expert look at this.

I bought my first boat with a transom soft as butter, not knowing
about these things ..

Either way: ANY boat that runs and gets you home is fun and better
than no boat
