    My wife and I went on CL and found a pontoon boat for sale for $1000. The guy selling it was over his Dads estate. When we showed up to buy, there were like 10 other people that showed. So the seller put 1 yes and a bunch of No’s in a hat. I was the first to pull and we pulled the yes. Outboard motor on boat only had 8 hrs on it and the boat was awesome. Best deal ever got on CL.

    Other boaters might cringe when you say “nose”. The front end is the bow. The narrow projection is the bowsprit and the surround railings form the pulpit. The back end is the stern, and the vertical back is the transom. You can also say “go forward”to mean go towards the bow, or “go astern” or “go aft” to mean go towards the stern. The vertical back end is the transom. The passage from the steering area (“the cockpit”) to the cabin is the companionway. The bathroom is the “head” and the kitchen is the “galley”. When you go down to the cabin you’re “going below”. The cabin floor is the “sole”. Windows are “ports”, which is confusing since the left side as you face forward is the port side. The right side is starboard. Enjoy your new boat and the memories you’ll create!

    Boat terminology lesson #1: the "window" above the bed in the bow is a hatch. Also, please run the bilge blower for about a minute or so every time before starting the engine and leave it running until the boat is underway. A small fuel leak in the engine bay will cause an explosive mixture and blow your boat to toothpicks on startup (happens way too often). The blower will clear out this explosive mixture. Also, always use marine rated parts (not local auto parts store stuff) as they are certified to be non sparking for marine environments (again with the blowing up to toothpicks problem).

    • @jimh375
      @jimh375 3 года назад +39

      Some manuals say run the blower for 4 minutes before starting. That alarm when you turn the key on is likely for low engine oil pressure, high engine temp, low outdrive oil reservoir level, low trim pump reservoir level, etc. Some even alarm on gas vapors in engine bay. Anyhooo, it's supposed to alarm every time you start the boat as proof that is is working.
      If the boat has spent a lot of time in the water, you should check and replace the anode(s). Anodes corrode sacrificially (galvanic corrosion) so that the drive and engine metals don't corrode. Anodes are usually mounted on the the lower drive unit (may be a couple) and on the trim rams. Check your drive model, but you're looking for something like this when replacing: www.amazon.com/Mercruiser-Bravo-Anode-Kit-1989-Present-B2/dp/B072DZCJDT
      Aaron, do you know how lucky you are to have a wife that will help lift a lower unit? Hope you don't mind me sharing some experience with you. Be safe and have fun.

Came with life preservers, dock lines, shore power cable, 120v adapter to the shore power pylon. Though it did not come with a trailer. I've had it 7 years. Because it lacks a trailer I do pay 700 year for storage and after a few years decided a slip is better than in/out service. In truth I save a lot of money on not having to own a truck + insurance and fuel milage or a trailer. Benn a great 7 years!

    Oh, how I envy you two! God has blessed you with each other, never ever forget that! I had a wonderful wife who was actually a miss universe contestant in 1988 representing her native country. We married shortly there after and settled down in Houston, She was a gerontologist and her practice dealt mainly with serving the elderly. One day on the way home she stopped to get gas, this is a job that I normally do but unfortunately I overlooked it and when it got to a quarter tank she would always start to panic. An African American teenager approached her and demanded her purse (cameras recording) she quickly obliged and then he tried to force her into the car and that is when she fought back vigorously and was shot twice. I’m glad you’re having so much fun I remember the days when we used to do things like this but on a much much smaller scale. Take care of yourselves and please be careful out there. I don’t mean to bring anybody down I just want to let you know to appreciate each other and look out for each other. He remains at large.

Keep it as a back up spare, just in case if needed in the future. Also once you rebuild it, you can always remove the one you purchased, for preventive maintenance. In other words use one remove it, then install the other one, and so on.

Maintaining a boat can be expensive, but you can guys can do your own maintenance/repairs, so you're already ahead of 80% of other boaters who have to pay others to do it for them. Plus, you guys straight up stole that boat! You hit the boat lottery in my opinion...plus you are one of the few who have a truck that can pull a rig like that.

    Love the boat. Love the deal. Congrats! l had a Bayliner (smaller) that I loved and ran for 16 years. At the same time, I had a 40 ft Chris Craft that I practically lived aboard. We had a great time for 18 years with that boat. The only repair I ever had to make in all those years was the autopilot on the Chris Craft, and that was only replacing some worn parts. I hope you have that kind of luck.

    Just a tip, whenever you get into the outdrive, clean everything up good with soap and water, scraper, wire brush, scotchbrite and clean up all the corrosion. Hold up some cardboard and paint it. The gymbal housing is supposed to have a couple ground straps and sacrificial zinc washers, nuts so on. You can see the corrosion on the outside, what makes your seals fail and leaking around orings is the corrosion that you can't see. Clean the contact surfaces and sand or scotchbrite the oxidation layer off the anodes every winter. If the anodes are clean with good metal to metal contact, you won't get any corrosion at all.
    You guys got an awesome boat there! Enjoy it to the ends of the earth 🌍.

      Galvanic corrosion is worth studying up on.
      A healthy dose of cayenne pepper in the bottom paint helps with preventing growth.

    Love the video about your Bayliner 2855. My wife and I just 3 weeks ago bought a Bayliner Ciera 2455. Ours is a 2001 model. We paid 13,500 for it and they were asking 12,500. I have been wanting a cabin cruiser ever since our 1998 stingray super sport SVB 192. The motor on the Bayliner of ours is a Mercury 5.0L 305cc. Engine purrs and outdrive works great but, we did have to replace the prop and after that we did see a great improvement in the performance as far as no more major vibration because of the old bent and chewed up prop. You all got a great deal even having to replace the outdrive. We did find out the hard way that the fridge doesn't work. Still trying to figure that out. The fan comes on but I dont hear the compressor kick on which is telling me that the compressor is either bad or there is a regulator problem. We also have 12v lighting and our electrical panel for the shore power has a lighting breaker which from what I see is 120v power as well as the fridge either works on 12v or 120v but I dont see an inverter controlling these two things... Have you all figured this out and if you have can you elaborate?
