Baja 18 FT CLOSED BOW

Description

1984 BAJA SPORT 184. GREAT BOAT. I'VE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER 18 FT BOAT LIKE THIS ONE. MOST ARE THE SMALLER 16 FOOTERS. THEY ARE BECOMING HARDER TO FIND IN GOOD CONDITION. MOST OF THEM ARE DESTROYED WHEN THE FLOORS GET SOFT. I REALLY LIKE THE LOOKS OF THIS BOAT. IT GETS ALOT OF ATTENTION. THE GOOD: THE FLOOR AND TRANSOM ARE SOLID. NO SOFT SPOTS ANYWHERE. NO STRESS CRACKS IN THE BOW, OR THE REAR. STEERING WAS REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW EARLIER THIS SUMMER. I HAVE A COVER FOR IT. THE COVER IS A GENERIC 19FT BOAT COVER, NOT SPECIFIC TO THE BOAT. THE BAD: THE DRIVERS SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT ITSELF IS ROTTEN. NOT THE FLOOR OF THE BOAT, JUST THE SEAT. THERE IS NO REAR BENCH EITHER. THE WINDSHEILD FRAME IS BENT ON ONE SIDE. IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE WINDSHEILD AT ALL, BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD MENTION IT. THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE WINDSHEILD. THE BOAT NEEDS TO BE BUFFED. THE METALLIC PAINT IS AMAZING IN THE SUN AFTER BUFFING. THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK. THE 1996 MERCURY MARINER 150 EFI 2.5 LITER V6 OUTBOARD, OIL INJECTED MOTOR HAS GOOD COMPRESSION. STARTS, AND IDLES, BUT STALLS IN GEAR. THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE GONE THROUGH BY A MECHANIC BEFORE IT CAN BE USED. THE MOTOR ALSO NEEDS A PROP. THE TRAILER IS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT COULD USE SOME PAINT. THE TRAILER WAS REDONE WITH ALL NEW WIRES LAST YEAR. AND THE ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE ALMOST NEW TIRES ON THEM. I HAVE THE REGISTRATION TO THE BOAT AND TRAILER. YOU SEE ALOT OF OLD CHECKMATES. YOU DO NOT SEE THE OLD BAJA'S. THIS BOAT NEEDS VERY LITTLE TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL. Also published on eBay.
