Yes I bought it from Greg in Redondo beach. I dont really know what to ask for it I have put alot more in it then I'll probably ever get back. Trailer has new tires and new led lights also.
Have you looked on Scream and Fly for a motor? There are a few good options for a lower priced older engine on there. I am restoring my Baker now as we type. Definately not cheap to do it right! I figure I will keep mine for many years once done.

I am in Process of restoring my Baker also. Its definitely not a cheap process, but I plan to keep mine for years once she is done.
I totally understand the feeling. I have had some boats that I just wasnt feeling the love and had to move on. Great looking float. The beauty and curse of outboard boats is the money is all in the motor. But it also makes it so easy to swap put and back on the water!I thought I would keep mine for a long time too. Just getting tired of it breaking or not running everytime I take it out. I should of just had my old motor fully rebuilt instead of buying a Bridgeport power head now I have 2 busted motors

Yeah Im torn between finding a complete 2.5 to put on it and run it a little then sell or just cut my loses and sell now i like the boat but kinda want some thing a little bigger and a little faster. And thank you its not bad to bad for an 86.
Yea I only plan on using mine at the river or weekdays Havasu on a nice day. I actually only been to lower river once. Need to explore that area more.It's great on the river. I got it out on havasu last Saturday it was a little rough
I'd really like to find a 2.5 liter with efi. But I might be interested if I could move the efi and electronics from my old motor over. What year? What's the compression numbers? I work near long beach often so it wouldn't be hard to arrange somewhere to pick it up.I've got an early carbed 200...needs carbs and maybe some electrics, but the block is in good shape. $500 in Long Beach.

We we're. In between bailing it out as the bilge pumps weren't working and we found the top of the passenger side tunnel towards the rear had a 0retty good crack in it. We pulled the boat back on the trailer and my buddy did a fiberglass fix. Said it stopped leaking after that. Then he had engine issues with it and sold it.Flying_lavey looks like you guys were having fun

Not too surprising. It was an ongoing issue for a few years it seems. Did you get it solved correctly finally?Yeah the tunnel still leaked when I first got it.
