Call Boat Owner Nik . Engine Rebuilt in 2011. Boat Lying in NY 14901.Ok, this is my 86 Four Winns 210 Santara. It is a 21' open bow and is
essentially the
same thing as a Liberator, just with an open bow instead of the cuddy.
I bought this boat out of the weeds 2 years
ago as a project for myself. I would
most definitely want to keep it until I had it back to pristine condition but I
have moved to Texas. I bought the boat
with a blown motor and broken down trailer. Since then the motor is
brand new (with the exception of the heads). New block, crank,
pistons, rods, lifters,
seals, headers, intake, ignition, carb, rockers, a lot! The motor is
bored out .20 over and has less
than 10 hours on it! Had this boat on the lake twice! It is a technically
a Mercruiser 5.7 260hp. Basically a Chevy 350, now 352, and with the
addition of the intake and exhaust it will be well over the rated 260hp. The
boat has only ever been in fresh water since the rebuild, no salt or brackish
water has ever been ran through the new motor. The alternator
(converted to a one wire) and starter have been
completely rebuilt and are brand new. The batteries are new and have
a marine switch so that when you?re out
on the lake you always have a backup. The
entire ignition is MSD, coil, distributor, box, wires, and plugs are
all new. The gauges have all been replaced (except
speed and trim) with white face sun pro gauges (electrical) with a manual oil
pressure gauge in the engine bay for easy visual while tuning/servicing. Also
the fuel sender is new and works perfect! The Exhaust is thru hull
and sounds amazing! Especially since the
addition to the aluminum boat headers! Which cost 1800$ new!!! The intake is an
Edlebrock performer 2701. The boat
mechanical wise has been meticulously maintained and always winterized
perfectly. Since I have easily over 3,000$ invested into just the motor you
tend to take care of it! It?s too bad I have to get rid of it L. The
motor was done by Stapleton engines in
Elmira NY. The carb is on a fresh rebuild and is a Rochester
quadrajet. The bellows and bearings are all new, as well
as the out drive impeller and gear oil. The out drive is an alpha one and I
have two different props for the boat, a steel and a stainless steel both
different pitches for doing different things. I started to work on
the interior as well as wiring up the new stereo
but this are where I stopped. With some
upholstery work and a little paint this baby would shine. The teak
with a good wash and oil looks
great. The swim deck and ladder are in great shape with no problems.
The boat has hydraulic trim tabs so it is
easy to handle with groups of people and the V hull. This boat has
all sorts of potential. It does
not lack for power in any sense that is for sure. The trailer is in
prime shape. Tires are new
and maybe have 1,000 miles on them at best. The brake lines are new
as well as the pads and wheel cylinders. The master cylinder is brand
new as well, as
it was replaced with the entire trailer braking system. Basically a
little investment and some TLC this
boat would be a great deal for getting a great running boat. The
cover pictured obviously goes with the
boat, it is a custom canvas cover which cost me 800$ new. It does
have a tear in it where the snow was
just too heavy and the support rod poked through, but a little stitching and it
will be good as new. The stereo has to
be wired up and installed but I have two amps, the head unit and 3 sets of
speakers that all have yet to be installed. Comes with ski?s life
vests etc. and all of the normal things which come
with a used boat. There are no major
soft spots anywhere inside the boat, I go about 240lbs and I do not have to
avoid or tip toe anywhere inside. With
that said the boat is an original 86, so it is fantastic shape if you ask me.
The out drive is the original, and is a little rough, but works fine.
It will have to be tightened up as well as
there is some side to side slop. In all
this would be a great project boat at this price. The Asking price is
4,000$ and is fairly firm.
If I have to I will just keep the boat. I
can get 1-1.200$ for the trailer, about the same for the hull, and at least
2500$ for the motor if I were to separate so that is where I generate 4,000$
from. Any question do not hesitate to call 8 one 7 nine 4 8 three six 42 (New
Texas Number) Thanks for looking! -Nik
