The details good and otherwise
It does have some wear on the carpet, not stains or bad places, the carpet has just become flattened from walking on it.
No tears in the interior.
Seats are never walked or stepped on.
It has the flipover rear seat cushion for accessing the platform.
The trailer has some rock chips from towing, and a new torsion axle 2 years ago.

Asking price $21,000.00 you wont be disapointed.

Jeff, you're actually letting her go this time! Say it ain't so! Such a nice boat.

Thanks for the nice comment, Yes, it took me all summer to come to this decision. I injured my shoulder for the second time this season, and the course just doesnt have the attraction it used to, so I have resigned to free skiing and spending time on the lake with the family. The family has requested some more room, and as long as its skier friendly then I'm all for it. I hope someone snaps this up before I change my mind.

Beautiful boat and sweet Bat Mobile stripe on the trailer.

Nice looking boat! What is the boats geographic location?

You mentioned the boat has a "Heatercraft 4 vent heater, with Low RPM Y for heat at all speeds". My Heatercraft 3 vent heater has never produced good heat a low RPM. How does the low RPM Y work? Where can I get information?

Thanks,
JC

Call heatercraft and order the Y for low rpm heat. It forces more water thru the heater core at lower speeds, it actualy has a nice warm temp at just an idle. The Y is about $32.00 IRC. The boat is pending as of now, I should have payment and the new owner should pick it up after we get one last set in with it tomarow morning. I am going to miss her, we had a last family eve on her tonight, great weather, and we all got in some nice free skiing. Then we went to dinner on the lake, had a few adult beverages and then it was back to the ramp and home. We cant wait to find our next nautiqe.
