Hello from Osan Korea,
Yes, I am stationed at Osan Korea and will be comming back to the states,Mascoutah Illinois, for good in about 16 days or 8 March 2008, can't wait to get out of here and get back to my wife and two daughters. Anyway, I am wanting upgrade and buy a bigger baot to make me and my wife happy. We currently have a 16 foot Chaparal 162XL ski boat bowrider with 88 h.p. Evinrude SPL V-4 that is getting to small for my family. I am looking at a 1992 Bayliner 26 foot Rendezvous deck boat model 2659 with a 1992 Yamaha Excel V6 150 horsepower out board. Currently I am bidding on this boat and the bid is met at $5,300.00, hopefully I win becuase it looks like a nice baot and I have talked to the owner who is at Ft. Myers Florida that served in the military in Vietnam for 2 years told me what comes on the boat with full mooring cover w/snaps, Hummingbird dept/fish finder, brand new bimini top, etc. Basically going back to the Yamaha motor I just described he had to get the lower unit rebuilt becuase he found milky oil in the gearlube and as a precautionary measure took it to a marine dealer who rebuilt and resealed the lower leg unit with brand new parts and spent $830.00 for the work. He said he has the paperwork from the marina, which I couldn't rememeber of the top of my head who he said it was, that he will provide me if I win the boat, Anyway, I was wondering what you guys think of the motor is it a good reliable motor? He said that it works like a watch and hasn't had any issues out of that Yamaha outboard, but I just want your guys honest opinion on the motor and the deck boat. Thanks, Bob:redface:
