897.0. "Help with Jaybee boat.," by SOLVIT::PAPPAS () Mon Aug 19 1991 10:48

    
    
    
    
    I am currently looking at a boat but don't know much about it.
    
    It is a Jaybee 16 1/2', 1988 with a 70HP NISSAN motor. It comes with
    trailer, skis, knee board and tube for tubing. It is a bowrider. They
    are asking $4,800 or B.O... 
    
    I think I can offer them $4,000 and they will take it. The boat looks
    in good shape.
    
    What can you tell me about it??

897.1Good motorSALEM::NORCROSS_WTue Aug 20 1991 09:529
    I don't know about the boat but my friend has been running a 70 HP
    Nissan on his 15 foot "fish and ski" Eagle bowrider for three years
    now.  He never does any maintainance on the motor (he changed the
    plugs this winter).  The things just runs and runs.  Moves out pretty
    good, also.  I believe that Nissan measures their HP at the prop versus
    some others who don't so 70HP may be equal to someone else's 80HP.
    I'm no expert on outboards so maybe someone else has an opinion on
    Nissan.

897.2What about JAYBEE as a boat?SOLVIT::PAPPASTue Aug 20 1991 12:048
    I wonder if Jaybee is NISSAN as well?? This sounded like a good
    package, 16 1/2' boat, motor, trailer, skis, kneeboard, tube for $4,800
    or B.O... If the motor is as strong as you say then it sounds real
    good.
    
    Does anybody know of this JAYBEE boat??

897.3Nissan package ?GRANMA::WFIGANIAKYEAH..GET THE RED ONEWed Aug 21 1991 13:264
    Looks to me like the package Nissan was advertising in the boating mags
    about a year ago. I beleive it sold for 8k. If the boat has a flat bow
    and a dark (either dark gray or black) hull its the package they were
    offering. Saw a few around but never on the water.
897.4Jaybee in Kentucky I think..CGVAX2::HAGERTYJack Hagerty KI1XWed Aug 21 1991 17:178
    I owned a Jaybee Bassmaster. I cant recall where its made, Kentucky
    I think. It was an 1987 16' which I sold this year to another Decie.
    I liked the boat alot. I just wanted to trade 'up' to a 19'. It had 
    a 70 Johnson.. I dont know where your located, but the dealer I bought
    it from was Roussell Marine in DRacut Ma -- which I REALLY liked. 
    I know they also made the bowrider too. Saw it there in the showroom.
    Hope this helps.
