Wow!!! A 20 year old boat in that condition, that boat looks sexy. Wasn't used much 220/20 = average 10 hours a year, but looks like they babied it. Let us know if you go look at it or purchase.

GD, that thing is brand spanking new. incredibly clean, GLWS.

[73MustangBill]

Yeah, and with the price of new boats being $86 Large, and not available until 2023, you'd think that SOMEONE would want it, huh? She has a lot of skiing left in her.

26K still seems steep. Makes me feel good about my 2002 which looks to be in about the same condition but with a lot more hours.

[73MustangBill]

I was at my local Nautique and lesser brands dealer. He thought $25k-$29k was a good price. I don't need a dozen buyers at $15k.

No trailer, end of season, no way to absolutely verify the hours....few obstacles in the way to reach asking price.

Well, aren't you just Ms. Sunshine. That's it. I'm not selling it to you

Having you been looking here?: https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/ski...ry=Boat_3Event

this is where many people list ski boats and is where I sold my 196, and bought a new to me 200 - used boats in the pandemic are selling like hot cakes and with a reduction of new boat availability and soaring prices - a new ski Nautique fully dressed with a trailer is $125k, new Mastercraft prostars next year will be north of 100k. It’s all out of control. Many clean boats are selluing now in a week or two on ski-it-again. If you really want a ski boat you need to be aggressive about finding them. Dealer websites will often have inventory or consignment sales not listed ski-it-again. Spring will be even crazier as buyers who didn’t want to deal with storing a boat for the winter come back on the market.

Thanks. I forgot to post it there.

73MustangBill - np, FYI - I loved the GT40 motor that was in my first Nautique, awesome low end torque.

It's just a fantastic boat. I hate to get rid of it, but I'm not using it any more because of a medical issue.

Just following back up here as I've been traveling quite a bit for work. 73MustangBill - your boat seems outstanding and to your point above, you only need one buyer, not twelve. If this boat had the Ski Nautique side decals and paint scheme vs the oversize N logo, it'd be perfect for me. I know that's picky for such a clean boat but the graphic pkg is important to me - and I'd need a trailer.

Aside from the cost of new SN, I don't care for the look which is why I'm looking for an older model. New ones, to me, look like a stealth bomber mated with an old tri-hull boat.
