1998 bay quest with 150 johnson ocean runner

[High_flyerrr]

Im considering buying this boat. it’s a 98 bay quest. Has only 97 hours on boat and motor. what can yall tell me about these boats? i did a little research and it’s a composite build no wood.

I cannot comment on the boat, but I have that exact motor. It is one of the best 2 cycle motors ever made, IMO. The OMS oil injection runs at about 60::1 and allows the motor a precise mix of fuel and oil and allows good trolling and idling. It has 6 carbs or 2 three throat carbs, depending on your definition of a carb. It also has a 35A charging system, and a dependable PTT system.

I run one on my 21' Seaswirl DC, and it handles the boat with good power and acceleration. Top speed is marginal, however, IMO.

I can't see any obvious damage, looks like it was taken care of fairly well. It looks like the backrest on the driver's seat will need new wood, and probably the seat too. The black is pretty dull, lots of hard water? The weird spottyness on the plastic windshield is normal.

I'm mostly a body and paint guy, so can't speak to motor or specific boating experience with it.

As with any boat, look at condition of flotation material, is it water logged??
Is the hull interior holding any water.
