1988 Bayliner 1700 w/85HP Force

[@marisoul9285]

We just got this boat in 2022 and it’s our first boat. We love it! 🚤

[@amymartin6402]

I love this video not because it’s for sale it’s clearly sold but to see how it looks on the water. We bought one of these so did our friend in a weird coincidence but what he says is accurate it’s a budget friendly boat great for first timers to get out on the water.

[@chrisstepp3114]

Ik this video was pisted 8 years ago. But this guys attitude ( its a budget boat but it runs) is thr best. Juat str8 forward

[@maverickswe]

This is my favorite clip on youtube!! :)

[@MrMcNorm]

I legitimately just bought this exact setup yesterday. Engine runs great, upholstery needs replacing (already have) and the center of the floor is weak, but otherwise looking forward to getting it in the water :)

[@MrDAYing]

I have one. Rebuild the floor. So worth it

[@MrMcNorm]

@@MrDAYing interesting reply timing, as I just ripped the whole floor out. :)

[@spencerperkins7154]

@@MrMcNorm make a video! I would love to see what I might be getting into!

He left the ladder down

[@williamsteelejr1534]

I have one, it's a 87 Cobra close bow with a 85hp Force on it. Starts up everytime. Only issue mine has is the upholstery n carpeting needs redone.

Ah....no music please...we want to hear the boat

[@thomassmith4616]

Heard there is a hydraulic system to trim and run the engine up and down, for this engine?

[@MrMcNorm]

Mine has exactly that. Still works great :)

[@nathantilbury]

trim on the motor don't work...just a minor issue

[@connormiller2551]

I have the same boat with an 130 hourse power motor and it’s inboard

[@itsfourleaf4907]

The Bayliner Cobras never had an Inboard style motor.

[@511cel2]

Those 85 hp Forces get a lot of hate, but ours is still going with no issues at all. It literally start up on the first crank every spring.

[@EYECOMEINPEACE]

Do you think a 115 merc would be fine on these?

[@thomassmith4616]

90 H is the limit. I think you might be kidding. LOL

[@14karatfunkify]

"limit" lol

[@thomassmith4616]

@@14karatfunkify so they dont??

[@thomassmith4616]

I have this exact same set up, the most hp is 90.

[@lawrencehopper1027]

There’s usually a Recommended range for a minimum to maximum Horsepower (HP). That being said the recommendation is just that a recommendation, and doesn’t mean that you couldn’t potentially put a Higher HP motor on it. I think it has a lot to do with the weight more then anything. That being said, there are Newer motor’s that have have higher amounts of horsepower, and less weight then other motors. So just do a little research on your boat see what the weight capacity is on your Boat Transit, what the recommended HP range is, and then with those Numbers start looking for the Motor that doesn’t max out the weight on your Transit but could be significantly higher in H.P. But don’t try an get to ridiculous on the H.S. amount, cause there’s also other things to consider like overall boat weight an thrust exerted on the Transit. So try an find that balance of weight, H.P., that give you the extra power you want and balances out other boat aspects.

[@olgamercado137]

What kind of oil does this use?

[@sunshine1me213]

I have same boat with portable gas tanks changed diaphram can u tell me its not starting right and where do i find a whole fuelpump

[@matthewclements2219]

No way they still have this boat?

[@Arce-ef1pg]

I like the boat. What is with the gas tank?

[@tedschmitt178]

It needs to be pushed back under the seat…that’s all.

[@ronaldmcraejr.7050]

How much?

[@Panagpanag]

Does anyone know how much this boat weight? Also for the Cuddy version?

[@cmanfishing247]

What size prop?

[@desireej5527]

Hi, what motor can be used for 1985 Bayliner boat?? Very similar to this one looks exactly the same

[@amymartin6402]

We have a 125 hp force outboard.

[@javitolokito1561]

Top speed??

[@williamsteelejr1534]

Like 28-34 mph depends of weather and weight in the boat. That's with a 85hp Force engine.
