    1989 Sport Nautique Direct Drive

    1989 Sport Nautique
    20 ft
    Direct Drive
    OPEN BOW
    351 motor, runs strong
    In solid shape, could use a little TLC, but very good for the year
    751 hours
    Trailer is solid, needs new wood and carpet, but mechanically solid
    ONE owner boat, bought brand new, time to let her go

    *ISSUES* -- I want to be clear on this issue, the boat is being sold as is.
    1. The boat has trouble finding neutral, and getting into reverse. I believe it is a linkage or sensor issue of some kind, because I can get it into reverse and it runs. Therefore, I don't believe it is the transmission, but I have not had a mechanic look at it. It makes starting it touchy because finding neutral is tough. I had been starting it in drive/idle, and it worked fine that way. Once running, finding neutral was doable.

    2. The boat could use a wax, maybe decals, it was always stored in a covered boat lift, but it has taken a toll on the exterior coloring, and it is faded.
    3. The trailer needs new wood and carpet

    Comparable boats seem to go in the 10k range. I am asking $5000 knowing it needs some fixes, and thinking that $1500-2500 is more than enough to have everything how you want it. I am open to reasonable offers though. It is currently being stored in a climate controlled warehouse, not winterized, and can be driven as needed.

        Is that a 302? Thought they were only offered with 351's.

            No need to check it for me, to be honest I'm not a potential buyer, was just taking a look at the boat.

                  I've seen Chevy 305s (apex in later boats)... but not sure I've ever seen the Ford 302. Is the distributor in the front (Ford) or back (Chevy)?

                    I believe all of you are right. It appears to be a 351 motor. Sorry for the confusion.
