WTB: 2003-2005 SANTE 201 Super Air Nautique Team Edition $28-35k

[callawaytour]

After a looooong overdue wait I am ready to finally put the trigger on my first owned Nautique. I am located in Denver, CO and willing to travel for the right SANTE. Color pathway I am looking for is Black hull and grey, red or blue. Color is important but also not a deal breaker so let me know what you have. Would like the boat to be under 550hrs.

Email me for more information or if you know of one available. Financing is ready to go... looking to spend between $25-35k depending on condition of boat.

In advance, thank you for your time!

I am in Utah, but considering selling.

[callawaytour]

What lake is that in Utah? Looks like your boat is 2003... how many hours.. potential asking price?!

[callawaytour]

Thanks for looking out SVTFREAK.. little to late on this one unfortunately. Still in the market waiting to pull the trigger...

That's Lake Powell, boat has around 440 hrs. Pretty much stock and a single axle trailer. 29.5k I still need to take it out and see how my two little boys can handle it and how much I believe I'll use it this year. That's the only reason considering selling I have a 3 month old and a 19 month old.

Here is a link for a 2004 SANTE for 34K in IL. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/bod/3835104008.html

A little out of my price range but seems to fit what you're looking for. No mention of hours but the boat looks clean. Not sure if the distance is a little too far for your interests.

Appreciate the tip awolfinwater.. just clicked on the link and it has since expired. Search goes on... just lost out on a 2005 SANTE with 161hrs original owner for $35k. The guy elected to take cash from a local guy after the fact he'd been working with my bank!! As the saying goes, Cash is King!! FML

I have my 2002 SAN on the market...here's the Craigslist ad if you're interested.

The red one in Illinois has been at that dealer for quite a while. If you are truly interested in pulling the trigger on that boat, I could certainly go take a look at it for you. Let me know.

[callawaytour]

Quinner, thank you for the generous offer!! I just bought... well lets say I am closing on a 2004 SANTE black/black on Friday, going to pick it up this weekend. Got a steal of a deal on it so I am pretty happy new Nautique owner. The guy didnt realize what he had on his hands and wasnt marketing it right so he let it go $4k below book value. As we all know they are consistently selling over book and with that color segway I should have no problem selling it in a couple years for what I paid for it today. When I move back to the south in a couple years and my riding season is longer than it is here in Colorado I will upgrade into a 230 or possibly G23 if the moneys right. Hard to justify that here in Denver alas the reason we dont even have a Nautique dealer!

[callawaytour]

2004 I was supposed to buy this past week ended up being a nightmare! I didnt walk.. I ran away from the deal!! As the old saying goes, if its to good to be true it probably is! The guy tells me its an "excellent" condition and must have sent me older pics of the boat... after driving 14hrs with cash in hand I show up to a boat on the lift covered in dust and spider webs making there way with the interior!! A trailer that was sitting in a field with 5' tall weeds, rust more then apparent and bunks that needed to be completely replaced and no where near road worthy tires that have been sitting on the soil for the past few years since he didnt use it. Thankfully the boat fired right up and ran like a dream! However, after taking notes of all the things that needed to be done on it and the cost associated I quickly realized a $4k deal quickly was erased. ****, the guy had the motor compartment locked and didnt even have the key for it. He left out of town for the weekend and had his friend who knew nothing of the boat meet me. Needless to say, my search continues but I think I found another one in Dallas. 2005 SANTE lime green/black with 440hrs... wish me luck on this one lol

Thankfully, I have a friend in Dallas meeting with the guy tomorrow to go through it and the seller is sending me a video he just made for me. Little different experience so far with this seller and a little more pride in ownership!! Fingers crossed

the red 04 in IL is a mess! we looked at it a while ago. I wouldn't give them 20k for it.

(BTW we are still in the market for a similar boat)
