WTB: Open Bow Direct Drive

[Rio Blanco]

In the market for a newer walk through open bow direct drive inboard. Primarily slalom skiers but would like the extra room of the open bow. Not too concerned about options, the minimum is fuel injection and a single axle trailer. If it is not cosmetically perfect, not a big deal as long as that is reflected in the price. Max price is $20K, but in order to get a reasonable rate at my credit union, I can only pay up to NADA Average Value for boat and trailer. Located in Indianapolis and willing to travel a reasonable distance (up to 8 hours) for the right deal. Below is my initial list of preferred boats in order of preference.

1. MasterCraft PS 197/X7
2. Ski/Air Nautique 206
3. Malibu Response LXI
4. MasterCraft ProStar 205 (1997+)
5. Malibu Sunsetter/ Wakesetter (no Mercruisers please)

Feel free to email me directly at mseufert@usa.net. Thank you for your help!

I little out of your price range but the credit union will give you up to 25grand for this boat at the lowest rate if you have good credit "i have had 2 guys already check into it that were interested in the boat". you wont find a boat of this year in the condition this one is in. let me know

Thanks so far, still looking but gotta stick to my max price

Thanks for the leads so far. I'll follow up on that SNOB.

I've gotta stick to the $20K, I've been looking at lots on a private lake by my house. New boat doesn't do much good without a good lake to use it on and our river has gotten pretty busy.

Also, wasn't that year of Air Nautique based on the 216 Sport Nautique? I've heard the wake is not exactly a slalom skier's dream on those.
