When I'm looking for accesories for my 85 bayliner capri, 17'6" with the volvo penta 2.1 sterndrive, what will the boat be listed under? I've yet to find a listing for a 85 capri 2.1

Re: Bayliner Capri

What kind of accessories?<br />The only things that would be model specific would be covers or bimini curtains, right?<br /><br />What are you looking for?

Re: Bayliner Capri

Bimini tops are all universal fit. You just need to measure the width of the two mounting points (usually within 4 inches...there's a lot of slop built into them), then select the height and length you want.<br /><br />For custom mooring/trailiering covers you have 2 choices. 1.) You can refer to this link<br /> http://www.boat-cover.net/index.cgi/manufacturer_name.Bayliner/index.html <br />to see if your actual boat model number is listed (there's a BUNCH of Capri's listed there.) Going back to 1985 is a bit old for custom fit, so you might just need to call the 800# and explain what you have and see if they have the plans in an archive.<br /><br />Option #2 (best, in my opinion) is to just take the entire boat to a local custom boat cover maker and have them make a tight-fitting cover for your specific boat. That way the cover will be formed specifically around any other accessories you might have added (your new bimini top, for instance!) It's probably a couple hundred bucks more up front, but the cover will fit so tight and perfect, and be made from the best materials, so it could outlast 2 or 3 "universal" type covers. Just grab your yellow pages and look for "boat covers" or "auto upholstery" and let your fingers do the walking.<br /><br />Also there's lots of universal mooring/trailering covers available out there, you just choose the style of your boat, specific length and beam measurements, and they send you one that fits OK but may need some creative strapping to control the flap. This is the cheapest option. Iboats offers has them, as well as Cabelas and Overtons.
