1999 21' Bayliner - offtopic - speed - props etc

[98Cobra]

Some of you already know, but I am selling my boat. Its in decent shape, although it does have a few scuffs from tieing up to docks and other boats over the years. I purchased it in 2002. I do not have a bimini top for it, but I will include the upgraded stereo, which has two Alpine V12 amps, four Infinity 6.5" speakers, and a Pioneer 12" sub in a custom box which is removable. I dont know how many hours are on the boat, since it doesnt have an hour meter, but 95% of the time I have had it, it has been at the Lewisville Party Cove.

It has a 5.0L Mercruiser engine. Water pump replaced in 2005. Winterized every winter, and summerized every summer. :)

Comes with a single axle trailer.

Pics coming soon. Asking $10k OBO.

Best pic I can find so far:

how many people will it hold? it looks like a 6-7 passenger, but i want to make sure. what kind of power on the motor? any known problems?

[98Cobra]

It seats 8, the motor is basically a GM 5.0 V8 - 230 HP. Top speed depends on how many people you are carrying, etc - I have done 54mph in it.

No mechanical problems whatsoever - had a new water pump put in at the beginning of last summer.

Any other questions, let me know!

[98Cobra]

Its on Ebay...

Ggarrets boat will beat mine out of the hole but I think mine has a higher top speed
The boat is in good shape and is reliable - It was often tied up next to mine at the cove over the past few years - dont remember having any issues with it

Both are probably more a function of prop pitch than anything else. (I worked at a boat dealership selling boats when I was in college.) :rolleyes:

Agree, and I still have one of these

Custom propeller 14 1/4 by 18 for a Johnson outboard. Paid around $600 20 years ago.

I guess this should be my first E-bay post..

[Moonshine]

LOL. Yup, one of my college roomates had a custom bronze 26 pitch prop fr his Johnson outboard. You had to lean way out over the windshield to get the boat up on plane, but once there it would fly, literally. :D Lost them all now, but used to have some great pics of that boat with 10+ feet of air under the prop.

To keep his for sale thread more on topic I copied this here and removed the OT stuff

As far as why his boat is faster out of the hole it definitely means the prop but also mine is at least 2 feet longer and Wider i think and much heavier ...

I wouldn't change the prop on mine cause you cant have both hole shot and speed and on lewisville I use the speed more AND if I changed the prop I would run the risk of over reving the engine

As far as going airborne ask Crawford about that I was racing Garret, Crawford was in my boat and I was catching Garret fast - next thing I know the wake of a BIG cruiser is in front of us - I hit the 4-5 foot wake at 45 + Garrett said he saw LOTS of daylight and Crawford complained about body parts mashing together .. knanaknana

[98Cobra]

Yea, Crawford may not be able to have children now. Doug's boat was completely airborne, prop and all! Still not sure how that didn't end badly for one of us. :D
