Rinker 182 Bowrider Wake/fishing/day/power Boat With 3.0 Mercruiser

Rinker 182 Bowrider Wake/fishing/Day/Power Boat with 3.0 Mercruiser We have owned this boat for a number of years now and it has been great for some family fun on the water. Whether it’s fishing, wake boarding, knee boarding, cruising down rivers - This boat can do it all. We have had the out drive serviced on a yearly basis which includes an oil change, gimble bearing, bellows, water pump & impeller, and anodes if required - this was all changed, including anodes at the start of 2020. The engine has also been serviced on a regular basis and at the start of the year the following parts were changed: Oil and filter changeNew mechanical fuel pumpDistribution cap, rotor arm and HT leadsNew spark plugsCarb refresh & rebuild and new gasketNew coil packNew exhaust elbowNew beltsNew duel marine batteryI’ve also had a new bilge pump fitted as the old one was a bit tired. New steering cableNew trim solenoids The boat has an aftermarket wake tower which is great for towing and storing skis and boards whilst cruising.

There is also a Bluetooth head unit fitted so music can be played via your phone. The outdrive is also fitted with an aftermaket prop and fins which gets the boat on the plane a lot quicker, and can easily pull two people out the water on tow. Being the 3.0 mercruiser it’s very economical on fuel and plenty quick enough. Plus spares and spares are readily available online. The boat is being sold with the trailer which is a SBS trailer in good condition.

The brakes have been disconnected to avoid seizing when launching, but it still tows fine. The bearings are getting noisy and would advise getting these changed. Unfortunately, due to the financial impact of the pandemic, I haven’t been able to get the boat out in the water this year which has resulted in me having to sell her. The not soo good bits... The interior has signs of wear and tear and could do with some love. It’s not something that’s ever bothered us as it means we could be less “worried” when using the boat.

There are some rips here and there, and areas where the coverings need stapling tight again. The navigation lights don’t work, but we have never used the boat in the dark, so never got this fixed. Also the speedo and trim gauge stopped working about 2 years ago, but again not something we ever looked into as it didn’t affect the use of the boat. The blower system works, but needs new duct piping which is a few quid. The new battery I bought is a bit big for the standard battery box so a new one would need fitting to house it.

Cheap ones available on classifieds board! Payment via cash or BACS on or prior to collection. You are bidding to buy, not view. I have the boat stored at my place of work and the boss now wants it gone! Any questions please feel free to ask.

Happy bidding!
