Hi all. I've found a 95' Capri 2050 with a Mercrusier 305 cu in V-8 that I'm going to check out today and take out on the water. Any advice on this model...anything to watch out for?I've asked the usual questions:1)salt water - only out about 6 times and flushed afterward each time.2)storage - stored outside with mooring cover, however had a heating lamp inside. I'll make sure to check floor as best as I can.3)2nd owner. Bought it 3yrs ago from a dealer (Olympic Boat Center). Dealer said that previous owner had used it in lakes.4)He's not had to have any major engine work on it. Unsure of hours.5)He's selling because he doesn't hardly use anymore.-- I need to ask him about regular winterizing/de-winterizing when I meet with him.-- Can anyone tell me if these engines are Fresh Water Cooled?-- Can anyone tell me what engine this would be (liter) with the specs he gave (Mercrusier 305 cu in V-8)?-- Should there be a place to see how many hours are on the boat?He has it listed for $8600.00...is this reasonable or a little too much? I mean, I obviously plan on negotiating the price! I know there's something else I want to ask..but can't remember right now THANKS!!

Dang, vampire -- I'm sorry, I totally missed this post!!I have a 1991 Bayliner 2050 Capri... and I LOVE IT. I have the same motor as you and it pushes just fine. I cannot attest to the price. I paid $4095 for mine and it was very gently used. Of course, my boat is 4 years your senior - but is that worth 4G's... I cannot say.Yes, it is water cooled.I don't believe there is a place to check the number of hours.EDIT: LETS SEE PICS!!!DOUBLE EDIT: Looks like we have a litle Bayliner 2050 club here TRIPLE EDIT: Check out baylinerownersclub.com. If you have any BAYLINER SPECIFIC questions that you want to know about; converse with other Bayliner owners. People who tend to NOT bash the product
Thanks, eeboater and John_S!! We're so excited to get her out on the water! I'll try to attach some pix. Hey, does anyone know what horespower this engine has?

Hey Vampire... after looking at your other pics... I want to reccomend something...I notice the oxidation on the gelcoat -- Mine had it MUCH worse than yours is. Many people reccomended the Meguiars Gelcoat Restoration kit... I was skeptical - but IT WORKS... and it WORKS GOOD!!!It's a three step process that gets it to just SHINE. Just a suggestion, a bunch of the applicator pads as well as a couple terry cloth towels to handle the three different steps. I was leary about using the same applicator pad for step 3 that I used on step one -- primarily because step one has fine granules in it that clean up the gelcoat. The last two steps just protect the gelcoat.Here's the kit:http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cgi...&view_id=39153Also, I hate to send you to someplace other than this lovely site.. but if you go to a local West Marine Store (westmarine.com) and tell them that you are a New Boat owner... they have new boat owner's toolkits and other awesome discounts you'll find VERY handy. It has saved me a lot of $$$.Here's the before and after on my boat...BEFORE:AFTER:
eeboater - Wow, that's amazing! I did purchase some 303 PROTECTANT http://www.overtons.com/modperl/over...um=23238&fcat=and am hoping that works. Have read good stuff about it... do you know much about this product...ever tried it?

I have a 21 foot Gambler and use a product from 3M. It's called 3M Marine Fiberglass Restorer and Wax. For heavily oxidized finishes. Combines rubbing compound and wax in one application.It works great. 3M part # 09005 or # 051131.Just my .02 worth.Here is how it turned out.The pic really don't do it justice, it really worked good for me and that is all I will use now.
