Wanted, TSC1, TSC2 and TSC3

[chief351]

Looking for a new boat. I hesitated adding TSC3 because most are out of my price range.

Looking to spend under $20-21000 USD or $22-$23 Canadian.

I would prefer a boat within 10 or so hours of Detroit MI or Buffalo NY.

Want:
Looking for a complete package. To me that means, trailer, bimini, boat cover, heater, perfect pass/zero off, (hot shower would be nice but not mandatory). I don't want to spend $20000 and then have to spend another $2000 to get the boat up to snuff. Trying to keep between 200-500 hrs (or less of course).

Don't Want:
Ripped seats, worn out carpet, broken parts, boats with a pile of trailer rash, chipped gelcoat, ripped stickers, etc.

I want a boat that I can bring home, wax, spray 303 on, and dump in the lake and ski right away.

I have sold my 1990 and it was a 9.5 out of 10, most people thought it was new off the showroom floor. I keep my stuff in perfect condition. So yes I am fussy :-)

I have seen some nice boats around this website, it is clear that most people here take very good care of their toys!
So let's see what is available. Wife says red boat only, I am open to all offers fortunately.

Thanks for looking.

Wife says red boat only

Now why would she say that? Blue is where it's at.

In all seriousness, limiting yourself to 1 color when you are as demanding about everything else could result in a very long search. Then again, you might get really really lucky.

[chief351]

Seriously open to any colour(s)

Wife just sad we sold a red one that was perfect!

Looks like the supply of 196's went dry!

Here are a couple to consider. Not sure if they have everything you're looking for but one does have a red trailer...

Thanks Skier

I am pending a purchase currently on a 2005! I will have things sorted out in about 12 hours. I will post pics
this week if this one comes to fruition.

Cheers

Mine fits that bill. Only there's no heater ... and it's not for sale. Good luck with your search. Red was part of my numerous required qualities in a boat, too.

East TX I have seen your boat over on fifteenoff and it is georgeous! The supply of TSC1's seems tighter than the TSC2/3. I have not skied behind a TSC1 but would love to do so, but there are so few nautiques in Ontario it's sad.

Thanks. There was one just like it in Dallas earlier this summer, but it appears to have sold. I was lucky and was able to find my boat within a short drive from here. On the other hand, I sold my old MC to a guy from Toronto. It was a long drive for both of us (met in St. Louis), but it worked out well in the end. Pretty big leap of faith for the buyer though.

Still looking or did the 2005 come through for you?

[chief351]

Yep I bought an 05. Under 200 hrs, interior is 9.9/10 and exterior about 9.5/10. I am in the process of making it extremely shiny :-) and will take pics once I am done! It came with everything I asked for except the bimini.

Thanks for the help
