    1996 Trophy Bayliner - Inspection?

    Sorry all, I know I had half assed first inspection; issue was that the weather was AWFUL. Rain, lighting, barely could see out the glass or the dirty bimini lol. So I got to check it out in between the calm lol. As for another test run, not likely. Boat is quite a far away from water atm...

    1996 Trophy Bayliner - Inspection?

    Fresh water. I havent checked bilge area. Engine ran great but I was on water so I hadnt taken the hood off. No corrosion that I could find anywhere. From what I was told, it was bought in Pennsylvania from an old man who kept it in storage most of its life. Then this guy had it for a year oh so...

Exactly why I am asking you guys for what I can check. Really just dont have a choice honestly, unfortunately...

    1996 Trophy Bayliner - Inspection?

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    Much appreciated 25+mph would be more than enough for me. But do you guys think 3 adults is too many? Would it be too unstable? Slow?

    Possibly ran without oil. What to check?

    Conventional pump. It was leaking pretty bad. Re-seated the o-ring gasket and flipped the fuel manifold. I did that with the manifold as I watched a video on the VRO conversion and it said to flip it. Seen that it wasnt done on mine so figured id take care of it while I was at it. Carb bowls are...

    What annoys me the most is the only thing that was changed from when it ran to not was fixing the fuel pump leak. And changed orientation of the fuel manifold since VRO was removed. That's it :(

    Engine Identification?

    My friend is a great guy and knows nothing of the boat, trailer, or engine. We only just started discussing and asked if I could take it. IDK, does this engine offend people? Am I missing something? Also, I don't know where you all live but engines in my area are going for a lot of money...

    Engine Identification?

    Hi errbody, I may be getting a good deal on the engine below. Itll be a gamble for sure but figure it's worth a shot. Unfortunately I couldnt find any badges on it and godzilla wasps kept me from getting any better pics. So does anyone recognize this engine? Year range? Long or short shaft...

    Possibly ran without oil. What to check?
