1987 bayliner v4 volvo motor i was going to fix it but cant do it my loss your gain
Don't have key,
don't have paper work,
the trailer has license the canopy is worth the $500 along with trailer don't ask so many question either you want it or not i already went to court on it i will not go get the paper work if i wanted to do more work i would of done it already, Piece it out use them on a boat you already have
they told me it would be more money to fix interior that and the motor needs some work so i don't want it any more if you want me to do the leg work for the papers i want more money so that is that , Sorry but its not worth any more trouble for what i'm asking i can make the trailer into something if it doesn't sell but i already have a trailer and i want the boat gone.

I need to get rid of my boat its been sitting in my backyard for like about 3 years, i took it to the river in laughlin neveda about 3 years ago and it had a mechanical problem and i just never got around to fixing it, i have a daughter now so i dont have time or money to try and fix it or use it. The paint job on it is about 4 years old and it is sitting on a good trailer to tow it on, here are some pictures of how it looked when i had it out on the river like about 3 years ago.
