New boat and new to boating

[brownhornet]

PLEASE bear with me I am very new to boating and IBoats. I first purchases a wonderful 1986? Bayliner Capri with an 85hp Force on itconfused. And now came across what is a sweet deal(I think) a1988 Sea Sprite with a 4.3merc. I dont know anything about nor can I find anything about the sea sprite. All I know is its a 19fter. If anyone know more of these boats I would love some info on them. I have stared work on the interior already, and about to pull the motor and run threw it for sh!ts&giggles(auto mech of 11yrs) Thanks SmokeontheWater for the new thread thing...

sea sprite is a good boat, if maintained properly.

Thanks, so farit looks like a world of a different boat than my bayliner.Do you or anyone know if a way or where to find info on them. I think I will be able to cover the motor, but little things like fuel cap. Layout lil things like that:redface:

Re: New boat and new to boating

howdy.... no prob.... now that you filled out your details I see that we are neighbors..... what part of the ville are you in? I know buying and selling is prohibited but what about free stuff... A buddy of mine is about to haul an old seasprite to the dump so we might have some bits of hardware for ya.

We also have a Sea Sprite that we purchased last summer, it's a 2100es and also have had difficulty finding info about the manufacturer.
The boat itself is really solid and seems to be well built. We really enjoy it.

brownhornet and smokeonthewater: we'll have to have a meet-n-greet in the springtime for all of the Louisville area people.
