Re: 1989 Capri 1750 CS
I'm sorry. Yes, these boats had plenty of oomph. No probs pulling a large skier out quickly.Expect around 45MPH roughly speaking,top end. They also handle nicely, but are somewhat lacking in freeboard,which allow for waves to breach you very easily.Not a problem under normal operations, but this is just not an offshore boat.<br />They trailer well,are easy on fuel (comparatively), and confortable.They are a heavy hull, for thier length, but there are much heavier ones out there.<br />And they are pretty to look at.It never fails to ammaze me, the number of compliments I get at the ramp like, "That's a pretty boat", and "What year is your Bayliner? 99?" LOL.<br />But you wont be looking for cracking persay. Yes, in the glasswork,like the transom,hull glass and such..But ,as for the deck, it should not be spongy anywhere in any way.<br />If you can walk heavily anywhere on the deck, and the deck has any spring in it, chances are better then average for deck and stringer rot, which you will not be able to see (without ripping the deck up).<br />The deck should be carpeted (they usually were), and this side of the decking WAS coated before the carpet was installed....But the underside of this deck is another story, I'm afraid.
