  1. 88 Capri (2022 SOTY)

    What model & year is this? Worth any love?

    If it has sentimental value then of course yes or if you just like the boat. Any boat is a lot of work bringing them back but the accomplishment that you feel is priceless should you do it. There is a wealth of knowledge here. I would suggest posting this in the restoration forum to get more...

    transom repair options

    Wherever you are going to lay new fiberglass the part of the boat not being replaced but has gelcoat on it must be ground down to good fiberglass. Just wiping down existing gelcoat with acetone is not enough, you will know when you have the gelcoat removed because the fiberglass may have a...

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    Oh I wanted to add that the drive I picked up this spring was a POS, I'm tired of wasting money and time so that's why I decided on rebuilding them, then I know what I truly have!

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great summer! I just wanted to give some update since I haven't posted about the completion of my bucket list. Late last year I started having mobility issues with my right arm (bulging disks) in which I couldn't even lift it, I've been slowly working it...

    1988 Bayliner Capri with a 2.3L OMC Ford cobra

    I have had the issue with fuel coming out of the filler like that, tank wasn't full either. I had to remove some of the bend from my filler hose so air wouldn't get trapped.

    1988 Bayliner Capri with a 2.3L OMC Ford cobra

    On my boat I have a decal on the left side of the walk through area stating 750 lbs capacity (people and gear) and as far as speed 36 or so depending on your prop. I had mine at 36 at 3800 rpm but didn't push it because of issues with my drive but I believe 40 is attainable with 5600 rpm WOT...

    1988 Bayliner Capri with a 2.3L OMC Ford cobra

    Since you have been talking about updating/redoing some things I wanted to mention to check all of your fuel lines. My vent and fuel filler hoses were original and in extremely poor condition, the filler hose was cracked and the wire reinforcing was rusted, don't need an explosion.

    1988 Bayliner Capri with a 2.3L OMC Ford cobra

    Welcome aboard! The hoses are NLA. The belt you can take to an autoparts store and they can measure it if no numbers are visible. I have the exact same boat. I am planning on making my own hoses because they are NLA, the only hoses I have seen are used. There may be a date code stamped on them...
