Hey Everybody! I work at a shop in Prescott, AZ that sells Yamaha, Bayliner, Tracker, SunTracker, and Tahoe boats. Along with Yamaha motorcycles, atvs, side x sides. Anyways, I picked up this boat from a gentleman that forgot to winterize his boat and cracked the block. I bought the boat and purchased a re-man motor with a 2 year warranty. I also bought just about everything new such as the gimble baring, yolk, re-sealed the lower unit, new manifold seals, and MUCH MORE (All installed by a certified marine mechanic)! My wife is going to nursing school, thus the boat has to go. It is teal in color and has the 5.8L EFI OMC motor in it. I have only put about 7 or 8 hours on the new motor. It runs perfect and comes with the double axle trailer. The boat is in pretty good shape (I will post pictures later today). It has a few places where the stitching is stretched, but I am sure I can get that taken care of. Thanks Guys!

I am having to sell the boat to get a car/truck to drive back and forth to work while my wife is at school. So, I don't know if this is allowed, but I might be interested in a trade for a vehicle.

5.8L in a 190. Was that a stock configuration in 94? Seems like a BIG motor for a 190.

The 5.8L was an available option in 1994 on the 190. I'm suprised too.

As far as I know, this is the stock set-up. It was deffinitely not something someone thought would be cool to put in the boat. I had a certified marine mechanic put in the new motor and everything runs perfect. The guy I bought the boat from lived in Phoenix, thus there was no reason for winterization. Then he moved to Prescott and ran into cold conditions, thus cracking the block. I seized the opportunity knowing that Four Winns was a good boat, and thanks to me working at a dealer, I took no shortcuts, and made sure everything was done.


Anyone interested? :D Open to trade for a fuel efficient vehicle :D

No need for an apology... We just can't help you sell it if we can't see it.
:D

Hello,
Here are the pictures of the boat. I took some pictures of the hull of the boat. There are some normal scratches, but absolutely NO punctures or leaking of any kind. I also took pictures showing some of the cushions have the stitching stretched, which honestly could probably just be tightend and that would be that. I also took one picture showing that on the right side of the boat there is a section where it looks as if the previous owner was going to mount a rod holder. He ended up leaving the rod holder off the boat. I am a very honest person and I want to be as much up front with this boat as possible. I personally believe that the two biggest selling points of this boat is the size of the motor (5.8L EFI) and the fact that there is a warranty on the motor. The motor has less than 7 hours on it. I have taken this boat on the lake only twice. The boat will be detailed once an offer is made. We have had recent bad weather, so please excuse the condition of the boat. As I said, my wife is in Nursing school thus the boat must go. Let me know if you have any questions.

The market sucks to sell a boat. I think AZ is even one of the harder hit areas - so that doesn't help.

Either drop your price even more... Advertise in more places -- Craigslist, Ebay, boat trader, boats.com....

Good luck!
