This is a great opportunity for someone who is either mechanically minded or just wants to do a repower of a ready made wake and ski boat. This Monterey 194FS is a 19'6" bowrider sitting on a dual axle galvanised boat trailer. Last time we used this boat was about 5 years ago and it was running beautifully. Washed it down, flushed the engine as per usual practice, threw on the full custom fitted cover and stored it under the holiday house. Unfortunately we were not able to use it for a few seasons and when we did, the engine wouldn't turn over.
After having it inspected by a mechanic, the diagnosis was moisture had got into two of the cylinders and caused the rings to rust and expand (he used a scope to look into the cylinders). It's only a small amount but as it was sitting for so long, it won't now turn over. There's absolutely no water in the engine itself as the oil on the dipstick is clear Oil is clean so absolutely no water in oil Options include pulling the engine and fixing the piston/ring; or throw in a new short block; or you could even change to a Mercruiser 5.7 package (engine and new Duo-prop leg) or a brand new volvo penta engine can be purchased from Michigan Motors for circa $10k or a long block for less than $5k http://www.michiganmotorz.com/305ci-vortec-base-marine-engine-1996-current-replacement-p-110.html http://www.michiganmotorz.com/volvo-penta-complete-engine-package-p-11143.html This would give you an upgraded, brand new power package. A great opportunity to own a terrific recreational boat thats great for wakeboarding, skiing, tubing and fishing. Comments Boat itself is in great condition and includes a Roswell wake tower fitted by Supra dealer in Nowra Volvo penta leg works when last used perfectly.
Engine is a 5.0 volvo penta GXI-E which had about 280hrs and was running perfectly when last used. Not running now as per above. Trailer is gal and was last registered in 2011 but is now unregistered so blue slip required. It has disc brakes and is in reasonable condition with some rust on leaf springs etc but no significant structural rust. Tyes should probably be replaced given lack of use and age and also needs a new spare.
Vinyl on seats is generally in good condition with one seat discoloured as per photo Cover is custom made and is designed for travel. It's a great cover Factory Bimini included. Carpet included 2 props provided - 3 blade for speed and 4 blade for wakeboarding etc Front and rear retractable ladders These boats sell used for $35,000 - $40,000 on boatsales These are high quality boats as per reviews http://www.boatsales.com.au/editorial/reviews/2006/bowrider/bayliner/american-bowriders-comparison-8770/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?
