Whats this boat supposed to bring?

1985 2001 all original with 276 original hours? Boat is almost as new as it was when purchased new and is all original. What should it bring guys? I have never seen one any better kept.

Another BOZO answer from Mr. Info, at least you spelled all the words right, 6 letters are about your max. The guy was wanting an honest price on average retail, i a$$ume.Is this correct oldschool?

Check at the site, The 2001.com, they should really be able to fine tune the value. Like BKH said they have quite a range.

He is asking $12500.00. Is that the one?

Plot of asking prices on this site. Looks like right around 10,000 for average condition. Go from there.

...if it's all original and the hours are correct, $10-11K would be a great buy, IMO. There's a lot of stuff out there that may be cheaper($6-7K) with more hours, but if you wind having to do repairs, you could be into it for close to that amount in no time.   

jbear, all i hear out of this moron is how smart he and how dumb everyone else is,as far as what i add to this site a little info and considerable saving to some of the vendors i have accounts with.
The one time 79 sold something on this site he shorted the guy,1/2 the parts and then cussed and ranted at him for wanting his parts,the nerve of that gut for demanding parts he had paid for.
Ya'll may have to suck up to him or maybe he intimadates you with his 4 letter words,he don't impress me. He's the kind i invite out of my shop...........
I will continue to offer a discounts to anyone that needs or wants to save a little money.87bfn how much did you save on the prop shaft? 79 Have you given any thing to this site but advice,and you get what you pay for.your spelling still sucks 79 get a life...............boat dr

1985s are great all around boats, I had one and I loved it, what is the most you are willing to spend on it?

All doc want's to do is use this site to sell products, or as he calls it pa$$ savings on to other members. Everytime something gets listed for sale it's the DOC or Timmy with a new group buy and it's getting old they don't even use the proper catagory. And if the Doc does Post it's usually to bitch at me, so what do you offer Doc to this site, cheap low grade parts.

NO NOT A f**kING THING IS WHAT YOU OFFFER JACK a$$

Don't take offense Tim. I'm sure 79 has no beef with you. I wanted to mention that I see you bought the Tique from down in VA. I pa$$ around that area quite abit going to and from the lake. If you need any a$$istance in getting it back home let me know. I would be willing to pick it up from Sean and meet you somewhere in nothern Maryland or PA. It's just a thought. I also see that you don't mind the road trip. Good luck and thanks for the Rankin group buy, eventhough I'm not partaking.

Again, not taking sides, but boat dr. your last 19 out of 20 posts have been specifically to bash 79. (I am aware of your warm welcome that you received from 79.) I say welcome back 79 and how about employing some "water under the bridge" diplomacy to the matter.

oldshcoolnautiq,

For what is worth, I looked at a really nice 2001 (mid to late 80's) about three years ago and the price was about $8,000. I didn't end up buying it, but it was a good deal and did sell soon after I looked at it. It was basically all original (some minor upgrades), but only had about 500 hours and was in great shape. I think the more recent realization that these boats make great "low-cost" wakeboard boats has actually increased their value. You may get somewhere north of 10k for your boat, but I have seen alot of the 2001 hulls that are priced a little higher sit on boattrader and other sites for a long time. No doubt, it is a great boat. You're not going to get a kid to buy it though, so you'll probably need to wait for someone that really cares about the originality. That may take some time. Good luck.

Chad take a look at the boat and be very picky and look for flaws, non orginal parts, even small things to try and justify lower the price. It's like what was posted by someone else, do you want a turnkey boat or do you want to work on it some. ask who winterized it, how was it stored, how offen was it used, did it sit for years at a time or did the person just use it once or twice a year on vaction. Sitting for long periods isn't the best thing for the motor, do a compression test and/or leak down test to verify the engine's condition, so that you know the pistons are sealing good as well as the valves. Look at the fluids and smell them, does it smell burnt, or like gas, both are not good, does it look like fresh oil and tranny fluid or is it milky, water intrusion, not good. just go over it with a fine tooth comb that will help you feel out the seller in the process. Good luck keep us up to date on the rogress.

Chad, I "humbly" have to agree with 79 on the low hour motor,cyl.rust has a habit of lurking where it can't be seen.Pitted cyl. walls are as bad or worse than a high hour motor.79 would a leak down test detect pitting lower in the cyl? Sounds like luck of the draw.
A rebuild is expensive no matter the reason.........boat dr

What if boat dr and 79 are the same person?
