I got a 1988 Capri!!!

MAC'n89Blckstng · Jul 17, 2009

A 1988 Bayliner Capri that is. I've been on the local lake with my buddies this summer on their boats so I got the itch and found this beaut. She needs a battery and a starter solenoid and some interior work but it will get me out on the water. I think I got a pretty good deal. I picked it up for 400 bucks. I had to jump on it. I'm gonna have some fun with it for a while and fix it up nice and then try to turn it over for a nice profit and get something nicer. I just figured I'd post it up on here to show you guys. Any other boaters out there? Nothin better than anchoring up with a bunch of boats and hangin out on the lake on the weekends.

Sucks the gauges are downright hideous. Maybe i can go back in time with this thing. lol

wow thats awesome, I dont know boat prices but 400 bucks seems like nothing for that. Not into boats but I sure as hell would be if I lived on a lake or had one.

Convert it to Aero!!

WOW those gauges SCREAM 1988

Those gauges make me feel like I'm about to play some sort of video game

Congrats,

I have a 27' Express Cruiser myself.

Nothing beats a hot summer day out on the water.

Local lake? Budd lake? Did you buy that in Hackettstown?

Yea they are ridiculous, everyone who sees them either says they feel like they are playing a video game or some kind of one liner from back to the future.

I never thought I would have a boat but I found this one and had to have it. I've seen them in nice shape go from 2000-5000.

it looks like rocket launcher controls on the dash lower right but for the money its a steal.
you know what they say, the best two days of a boat owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it...my boss said that when he sold his POS pontoon only to turn around and buy a new one

QUICK91LX · Jul 18, 2009

I was going to take a shot like that when I posted but decided to refrain...haha

Nice score man. You'll have a kickass summer with that thing.

MAC'n89Blckstng · Jul 18, 2009

GTO, I found it in Roxbury on Emmans road. I will be bringin it out on Lake Hopatcong and anchoring up in Byram Cove alot. For now my buddy is gonna tow it for me but I plan on buying my bosses old 2 wheel drive 302 5 speed F150 for a winter beater and I'll use that to tow the boat next summer. I'm dying to get this thing running and out on the lake. Boats are the ****!

Oh yea, I'm naming it Prestige Worldwide too. lol

MAC'n89Blckstng · Jul 18, 2009

Here's a shot of the back. 2.3 Cobra OMC I/O woo hoo!

1987LXragtop · Jul 19, 2009

Good luck with it....as the former owner of a couple powerboats I can only say that you think you dump money into a car? The moments you get to use it are fun though.

OMC drives scare me...

fivespeedsteed · Jul 20, 2009

i gotta 12 foot johnboat :-D . good deal on the bayliner i like the layouts of their boats. the gauges make my cry a little on the inside, but its all good. fun boat to anchor and sit in.

GT_Rich · Jul 20, 2009

That sounds like a good deal on the Bayliner. I have a friend with a 80-something 4 Wynns and a 2.3 Merc Cruiser I/O. It's a similar looking boat and is great for hanging out in. However, it's a little slow for skiing behind. I'm a water guy too, but I'm into the PWC's. Here's a pic of my Yamahas. One is a 2000 GPR 1200 and the other is a 1998 XL 1200. GPR has a few mods and will do 68 mph. XL is almost stock and does right around 60 mph.
