Ski Tique Wanted

Hello,

Looking for a Ski Tique.

I have looked at a few in my local area and those on the internet.

I'm wondering anyone has one for sale or know of one for sale privately.

Ideally located in southern WI or nothern IL.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

As much as this pains me to say..... PM or email Dwouncmd on this forum. Wayne is toying with the idea of selling the Tique. (It is awesome, but in NC!)

Hello,

I have looked at both of those boats. I'm looking for other options.

Thanks for the info.

Huh, didn't know Wayne had her actively for sale................ What are you looking for? Different year(s)? Project? with tower? What is the "Wish List"?

Hi,

Steve, Yes I did mean both the Madison and Chicago listing.

I'm not looking for a project boat. I'm looking to go skiing.

My wishlist is that the boat be in good mechanical, structural shape & trailer. A rear seat and swim deck would be nice. Not tower required. I need to go footin'.

I have been reading the forums for quire sometime and I'm not interested in stringer repair.

I would also be open to a Nautique however prefer the barefoot pull of a Tique.

Outside of the listings mentioned above the Tiques I've found are in the $7 - $10,000 range. I'm more so looking in the $4500 - $5000 range.

Thanks

I would drive for a mechanically and structurally sound boat.

Steve that's a great boat. I've admired her before on this forum before.

David:

They do come up fairly often.... If you want a better than 7/10, it is going to be over your projected budget. Elbow grease will get you in the $4-5,000 range...usually upholstery needs as well.

Besides, the searching / shopping is the fun part!

Like I said....... the shopping is the fun part. Keep this thread updated with your progress!

Perhaps so. But they can hold their own.


But then I do have the advantage of Chevy power.

......... 305 (or 350 ) is pretty nice in that lil boat!....

And as it happens, we will be driving to Michigan in about 2 and a half weeks...

Commanders are cool but that boat is a disaster.

Hi.

Air206:

It's out of my budget however I would think that there's some room to negotiate.

It does have shinny new paint. I'm wondering how long it might stay like that. It seems like most hulls are colored as opposed to painted. I'm unclear on this.

Regarding the deviation, I do prefer the original look.


TRBenj:

I would prefer the classic look. That aside, what else is a disaster?

Thanks

Don't get me started is right!

That guy made significant nonoriginal modifications to the boat, which detract both from the classic look as well as the durability. And he expects to be paid handsomely for it! Horrendous. He's been trying to unload it for at least 2 years, btw. Apparently I'm not the only one failing to see the value he "added".
