My dad and I recently bought this boat for 2k. We thought it was good deal, but we really dont have much knowledge of boats. (except for the fact that we both wanted one) Still excited though. I called a friend of mine that has similar Bayliner I/O but newer said it didnt look bad. In fact he liked it better than his slightly newer one. Sorry that all i have right now is this picture from my phone. I see everyone loves pics here. Anyways, its a 1993 Regal Ventura 196 I/O with a Mercury 4.3L v6 and Alpha One Stern-drive. The exterior seems to look in great condition but pretty flat lookin paint on the upper hull. Now the interior which i will post soon looks ehhh. Upholstery dirty and very slight tearing here and there. The lounge back to back chair i took out because the base was rotted and chairs looked bad. Captains chair deosnt look too bad but i may as well buy matching seats. Carpet def needs replacing and here is where im worried, there is approx 2'x2' soft spot ( maybe a lil smaller) right in front of the engine. You can stand on it no problem, but i wont be jumping near there for sure. Ive taken it out twice, its lots o fun! Seems to drive well, but like i said not much knowledge here. Let me know what u think so far, ill post more pics soon. Im at work right now, ive been on this site for last 2 weeks.
