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.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris you'll wanna check the hull out on the boat. As for the motor test trial
is good.. take it to a mechanic.. have em check the compression on the engine..
look it over. have em take a look at lower unit oil make sure it has no leaks.
The Capri isn't a bad little boat i've had a blast on em. i know thier no speed
boat but for a day on the water having fun tubing or some light fishing they
are good.. only one thing i dont' like about em. The V-belt

If you get this boat i suggest you have a mechanic pull the front engine mount
up and get another belt or two attached to where you can get to it if you lose
your belt cuz if one snaps on you in the water and you have it just in a tool
box or something you will NOT get it on.cuz of the front motor mount "found
this out when it happen to me had to resort to a pair of panty hose to limp it
home at little over idle LOL" oh life is dry with out a boat i tell ya.
