This is a 2011 Bayliner 197 Deck Boat. It has a very desirable open seating design. It is powered with a 4.3 Liter 6 cylinder engine.
This boat runs like it should. It has not been in the water this season. It is still winterized. I will start it for you when you pick it up. I will also install a new battery.
The hull is in very good condition. There are some deep scratches on the bottom of the hull (see pictures). It has always been a fresh water boat. The seat bottoms were replaced this winter. The custom mooring cover is also brand new. It has been stored in a heated warehouse.
I had plans of taking this down to Florida, but I simply do not have the time. The factory trailer (made by Escort) I felt was undersized to make the highway trip. I have replaced the trailer with a much stronger single axle trailer.
This boat is titled in my business. It has a valid Ohio title. It was used all its life in Indiana which is why it has Indiana registration on the hull. I must collect sales tax if it applies to you. If you live in another state than Ohio, you will have to do your own tax and title work.
I believe this boat to be in excellent shape, but you should evaluate it for yourself. I am selling it without any warranty.
Please contact me early with any questions you may have regarding this boat. That will allow me time to answer questions before the auction ends. Better yet come and inspect the boat yourself in Dayton, OH. I am requiring a $200. deposit via Paypal at auctions end.
