I has approximately 500-550 hours on it. I bought it in 2010 with 89 hours from an elderly man in Chicago, IL with 89 hours on it, so the majority of the hours have been run in the last three years. I replaced the digital gauges with analog, so the hours on that read much lower (approximately 190 - just over a season) as of right now. The perfect pass has also been upgraded to the GPS stargazer wake addition, and the speedometer has been replaced with a stereo remote in the dash (the perfect pass displays the speed). The tach is a bit touchy (think a ground issue), but the perfect pass also shows the RPMs as well. It has the excalibur 330 engine in it (think the ford block but not sure to be honest). Oil has been changed religiously at least twice a season (typically at the beginning of the season and halfway through ~ 80-90 hours). Impellers has been changed every 50 hours as well. The boat rarely goes two weeks without being used, and I tend to be pretty hardcore about maintenance. I have three props for the boat, the stock (only use in emergencies) and two 1464s.

The ballast system is set up with four Jabsco impeller pumps, with three way switches on the dash, which fill 750# flyhigh bags in the V-drive compartments, a 580+# bag in the swim locker and a 650# bag under the front seats in the bow. I typically run it with additional weight, so I have installed three way valves that can fill additional sacs int he bow and in the seating area without having to add more pumps. I am building an area seat area (G23 deal came right in the middle of this project but I will finish) that houses the valves and the heater. I usually run this boat with close to 4000# ballast, and the wake is about as good as you can find in a super air 210. The side panels of the V-drive area (in between the engine and the storage compartment) have had the carpet removed and retextured/covered with a black rubber spray and reinforced with aluminum C-channel. I have a fresh air exhaust for the boat (not currently mounted, since I have been wakeboarding more than surfing the last few years.

It has a Samson sports tower with two 8" HLCD S7HD speakers which are removable, and swivel 360 degrees (chrome - but they have a few scuffs/function perfectly), static racks, an endless wave surfboard rack (no longer available from the company), flag holders on each side of the tower, lighted anchor light integrated with the rope pylon on the top of the tower, and a tracking video camera mount. The tower has four adjustable lights (two fore and two aft) on independent switches. The tower is pre-wired for another set of tower speakers, but I have never needed to add them since it is plenty loud for the rider. It has a 12" sub (I believe but I need to look at my paperwork or measure), and three marine amps. To be honest, I am not much of an audiophile, however the stereo was professionally done and sounds great. The boat speakers also have all been upgrade from stock. I can tell you exactly what stereo components are installed when this weekend when I head to the lake. I upgraded the batteries buy increasing the size of the battery box under the port back seat so it will fit a size 24 starting battery, and two size 27s which run the accessory systems on a perko switch. There is a secondary voltmeter to show the voltage on the second battery bank (27s). I have also installed a clock and depth finder. I installed a hot water shower that is directly plumbed into the engine for its warm water, integrated into the OEM touch switch panel. I have the heater (forced air) with a brand new core, but I have not installed it yet.

The front windshield is tinted, but still able to drive without looking over it. A majority of the upholstery was replaced this march, matching factory down to the embroidered nautique logos. Any vinyl that had hardened due to age or was showing any cracking was replaced. I also picked up a new factory cover in march as well.

The double axle trailer is one year old, with 15 inch chrome wheels (under mounted spare), LED lighting, diamond plating, prop guard wheels, boat buddy ratchets, and swing away tongue.

This boat has been my baby for the last several years, and I have maintained it as such. There are some cosmetic dings on the rubber rub rail, and a gel coat ding on the nose (occurred before I bought the boat). Several other small gel coat dings are present, but overall this boat is in amazing shape. I will send pictures when I am out on the water this weekend of the boat, the wake etc.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, and PM me to discuss the price. I was planning on keeping this boat even after the G23 arrived, but for the right price, I have decided to sell it. It will not be available until my new boat arrives, and the delivery date is in late June. I have some pictures on my phone that I can email to you if you send me your email address.

BTW, I worked for the lifeguard department in Piha and Muriwai in the 90s. Had a great time drinking Lion Red.
