Eastern edge of the Chesapeake Bay - salty too!

Idk about you guys, but that boat angel girl on Ebay gives me the creeps big time. More like boat Demon.

Trip . I have been watching that boat as well . Talked to the seller a couple of times and he states that buyers keep bailing on him .Kind of suspicious in my opinion but would keep an open mind . I am interested but live in Michigan . I drive O.T.R. and keep trying to get a run down there to check it out . I will post results if I do .

The seller is also a little bit short with you when asking questions . Sometimes people are their own worst enemies .

Yeah that '89 in Orlando has been for sale for a year now. He has dropped his price from 7500, sometimes I think I've seen it listed at 6700. Sure is clean minus the right hand side graphics are gone. I don't think it's a scam because all those pictures are definitely Orlando. Scams seem to have South FL pictures then posted in Buffalo NY with the seller being in Iowa. I like the boat and several times wanted to call the owner but seems over priced for the year and '89 isn't my personal favorite.

Agreed. Every market is a little different, but that seems like a fair price on a really nice 2001. The later ones with roomy cockpits and comfy interiors do command a premium. 1.23 on the '89 is also a plus.

That '89 has been for sale for a long time now. Price has dropped from $7900.

Pics look like it's at the lake I frequent on a regular basis. If someone is seriously interested in it, I can go check it for ya if needed.

I guess you are right. I look at it from a slalom point of view. Although 2001's are my favorite style wise, for slalom skiing you'd almost have to give me one for free. Rather a '90 NWZ I'd be willing to spend more coin on for the flatter wake. But not everyone is a slalom skier, a wakeboarder probably looks at it the opposite.

Art Cozier can probably fill us in with the marketing startegy, but my guess is that '89 was just a transition model - the NWZ models were already in testing. They just used the old hull design 1 more year.

As far as the boat not selling - I wonder if there is a fundamental shift in the market - people want more room (& more bling) than these older boat have.

Maybe some younger buyers (who typically buy 2001's) will jump back into the market next spring, with gas prices at bargain levels.

tax hikes you mean! Since I have had an '89 and '86 I definalty feels different in the water. sounds different as well because you basically have a '90 complete power train. wake does seem a bit different to me. they discontinued model because mastercraft came out with pro star had to keep up and boat ran its course after 8 years of 2001 hull.

Ive had a bunch of jokers calling me still trying to buy mine.

Ross, why did you decide not to sell? I'm considering putting mine on the market in the spring.

Work has been done to the hull but what's not know to what extent. Gel? Buff? Paint? So maybe the bar just not been installed. Non original swim platform. 2x4 under the dog house so god only knows what he's done to the engine! Floor replaced only - what about the stringers?? Carpet - original type??

More info is needed and a actual inspection would be the best.

yeah 2x4 for ventilation, we've done that forever. Doesn't look bad for the price, worth checking into.

I am going tomorrow. The fellow has had the boat since 90 and he was a Cypress Gardens skier waaay back. Seemed like a straight shooter. He said the stringers were done at the same time as the floor.
So Hollywood, or any of the other team skiers, how would this do as a practice boat for the ski team. We are a show team, so I was thinking of a fly high pole with a release a little higher on the pole than where the eye sits now. I know its not perfect, but dollar for dollar, it looks like cheap performance.

This one idiot kept calling me at odd hours of the day and night, he was a moron. I didnt even want to mess with it anymore. bunch of tire kicking jokers.
