Selling my Bayliner 245 -
I've owned it for about 4 years, in that time that spent a lot of time and money upgrading bits and pieces.
Enjoyed many days and nights at Rotto, but with a child on the way it won't get much use this summer and it's time for me to upgrade to something else next summer.
Perfect first cabin boat, has been very well looked after mechanically, though does need a bit of love cosmetically.
Has an unlicenced American trailer (Under 2.5m wide) that apparently can be licenced. I just never bothered as the boat lives in a pen.
Trailer is stored in Welshpool, boat is penned at South of Perth. Can use the trailer on a move permit from DOT. Trailer has 4 new tyres.

Stuff that needs doing
- Front clears are pretty shot. Sides are ok and the rest of the fabric canopy is ok. Quoted $1200ex to replace front clears.
- Needs a good acid wash and polish. Or leave as it. Just a personal preference to have polished.
- General tidy up.
Happy to negotiate on price if you want to take as is where is. Otherwise would like full price and I can get clears and polish etc done for you before hand over.
Can do a morning out on the river with you to show you around if it's your first boat.
Shoot me a message if you have any questions. Not in a huge rush to sell.
Thanks,
