Here is a beautiful 1989 Sea Ray bow rider available as a complete turn key ready to go boat. Being 25 years old should not scare you when you hear all that is offered on this boat and has been done to keep it up. So lets start with the interior and as the pictures show its excellent condition, having mostly original upholstery throughout. The original cushions are all still soft and supple as should be for a well cared for boat. The rear seats however have been redone as one of the jump seats was missing when I got the boat so my upholstery shop made 2 new ones as well as recovered the top one on the engine cover and rear storage hatch. The downfall to these early boats was the wood rotted before anything else happened and this had that problem with the motor cover. it has been completely rebuilt with new wood and all glassed in and sound attenuated better than new. You can hold a conversation in boat at normal cruise without an issue of hearing. The rear floor was buckled a little so I redid the fastening of it along with a new piece also installed over the gas tank. all custom made and resin encapsulated. floors are very solid all around and all the bases have been remade as well Into the floor with glassed in anchors where applicable. The rear section is recarpeted to match and piece of carpet will be supplied to do front although I am not sure if its big enough to do all. but its easy to obtain another piece. I have new blocks also made for the rear jump seats that go on the motor house and sides so cushions can be raised up as a sun pad, they need covering and assembly to be right. you can see the area left vacant in the pictures where they go. easy finish up to accomplish. The boat comes with a bimini top as seen bow cover, and rear cover to make weather tight, and a winter cover as well for storage. When the floor was out over gas tank the tank was checked all brackets that hold redone and fastened and new supporting cushions installed as well. all the old original fuel hoses have also been replaced and the duel filter relocated so its easy to change now without dissecting half the boat. A dual battery system also has been installed with switch to select which battery is used. This year a complete new instrumentation was also installed as you can see bright sea ray Teleflex gauges, the hour meter is now in tach as ell and boat just had 25 hours of use in NH on lake trouble free and not a drop of oil used. total hours on boat are 629 showing on the factory hour meter but I am not sure if that's since engine replacement or the boat since origination itself. Speaking of that, the engine and drive were replaced in 2006 according to the person I purchased from and both being replaced at that time. The engine is B drive 250 hp mercruiser 5.7 2 bl carb unit and the serial indicates a build date of 2002, so I assume if all correct, this engine layed around awhile before an installation. I have had the dry joint manifolds checked and all are good condition with lots of life left. Motor has had complete ignition service, wires of course oil changes and new raw water pump installed this year. motor functions perfect. The drive was also serviced this year with new shifter cable, and boot, serviced and new water pump. It had a bellows replacement 2 years ago as well. all else is believed to be right up to snuff. the shifter was also rebuilt and the boat comes with a spare shifter control unit as well. The prop is a stainless steel unit as well and in good shape. runs like a top, burns between 3 and 5 gallons an hour depending on usage. easily cruises at 30 mph at 3000 rpm. Oh the trim switches were also replaced and upgraded as well so that all works correct to. A new radio and speakers were installed this years as well and works great and has remote and small amp. The trailer is a 1990 load rite roller trailer rated for I think 5500 pounds. it is in near perfect condition, the wheels and tires were new when I picked this boat up in NJ. have maybe 3 trips to nh and a few local so would say max 1200 miles on them for use. all the carriages have been disassembled cleaned and lubed and are free and floating as they should. the entire trailer has all the rollers and sleeves replaces and all new hog rings for those that ere bad as well as many new bolts. this boat will go off with a virtual light push and if the ramp is sloped goes by itself its that free and easy to get on and off. all the bearings were just replaced and correct bearing buddies added as well, has sealed lights and all work correctly and the rear member has been replaced on the trailer too! the only thing not done is repair the brake system, there is none other than the original master cylinder, no lines backing plates or anything. I have found not needed even towing with a half ton pickup and I have locally towed this with a Sonoma pickup with no problems at all. it may not be legal in all states without the brakes. Just an fyi. everyone always asks so what does it need, so here it is, the trailer the brakes only if want. the boat itself someday should have the bottom paint removed and then refinish smooth, I have not done anything wit hit in the 3 years I owned and it has been wearing off slowly, you might want to redo the front section of carpet to match the rear, and maybe reglue the ski locker carpet as it has come loose. always wet in there. may be better off without a personal call, need to fix the rear seat sun pad brackets if wanted to use them, materials are included except the vinyl. and if you are real particular might want to replace the windshield gasket at some point. pretty much all I can think off but if see something I missed ask away. Boat comes with all life jackets, covers as indicated, paddle, fire extinguisher, numerous dock lines, 2 anchors one of which is a new Danforth style, 4 bumpers and multiple docking lines, Lets go Boating !!!! shes ready to go This is a best offer style auction and still costs money to do. Please respect that and follow all the ebay rules that apply. I reserve the right to end auction as boat is available for sale locally as well. There is no express or implied warranty included in the sale and representation is the best of my ability to represent the boat fairly. I answer all e-mails through e-bay Please don't bid if your wife doesn't want or grandpa stole the piggy bank on you. I am upgrading to a different style as the family grows. Someone will be getting a nice starter boat for short money and all the work is done. Good Luck bidding Shipping and or pickup will be purchasers responsibility, I will work with buyer as needed. trailer is road ready for anywhere. I reserve right to remove at anytime due to local sale and or prior committed sale.
