1986 Bayliner Trophy w/Trailer $4700.00 OBO in Ohio
"Bob D." wrote in message ... FS: 1986 Bayliner Trophy w/Trailer $4700.00 OBO in Ohio Since my new boat is in water and working well, I really need to sell the Trophy. So in addition to the further drop in price to $4700.00, I am considering trades for a cruising sailboat, jet boat, or a truck or SUV with towing capabilities. If you're looking to make an equal trade, you're not going to get a "truck or SUV with towing capabilities". In fact, you'll be lucky to get a truck with starting and running capabilities. If your looking for an affordable, sturdy entry level boat for fishing or cruising, you owe it to yourself to check this boat out! Except for her low top speed, she really is a great all around boat. Most boats in that size range don't plane until 18mph. Your "cruise" speed is just 1 mph over planing speed? 24 mph top speed for a planing hull isn't, as you say, a "low top speed"...it's unacceptable for that type boat. In fact, I spent alot of time looking for a trophy, 2160, 2460, or 2860 with more power, for serious cruising, that's how much I appreciate this design. She has an outside deck much larger than boats in the 21-24 foot range, while offering the same or better cabin accomodations in cuddy cabin boats of the same size. She takes to Lake Erie chop quite well, MUCH better than my 23 foot Chris Craft. The reason it "rides better than your Chris-Craft" is because you're barely on plane while "cruising" in the Bayliner. She is a fishing boat, so she is built with all types storage that I use for cruising. Here are the specs: Boat Type: Open Fishing/Cruiser with cuddy cabin Length: 20'8" Beam: 8' Weight: 3400lbs Power: 131HP in-line 4cyl I/O: VP275 Cruising speed: 19MPH Top Speed: 24MPH Sleeps: Three to Four people in three separate bunks For more information and pictures go to: http://www.geocities.com/disenchante...ng/Trophy.html Interested parties can contact me at my email address: or via phone at : 216-849-8468. Please leave a message regarding the boat and an appropriate time for a return call if I am unavailable. For ANY interested party I will make myself available to show the boat and am willing to offer a sea trial to serious buyers. Thanks for your time. For anyone purchasing the boat, I will help in her winterizing if she is stored in the Cleveland or Sandusky areas. Bob Dimond |
