Why This Boat
The 1800 Capri SS is a popular entry-level Bayliner bow rider — 18 feet, walk-through bow, big bow cushion pad up front for day cruising. The 4.3L Mercruiser V-6 is a workhorse for a hull this size, with enough power to pull a skier and enough fuel economy to spend the day on the lake without much thought. The recent Ivancic Marine service on the transom, gimbals, bellows, and U-joints is the expensive maintenance work most buyers worry about when shopping a 25-year-old I/O — it has been done. The detachable sport arch is a nice add for tow sports or for the look. Trailer with tongue jack keeps the whole package mobile.
