Good morning everyone, can you tell me please, the price for a ski nautique 196 limited with a thousand hours on it.
Thanks, best regards.

From what I've seen, an asking price on such a boat would be $20k to low $20's.

Thanks scw5150 for your Quick reply, that's what I have thought, somewhere around 20K.

In your opinion, a thousand hours on a boat engine will be a third of its "service life" isn't it?

Probably can put another two thousand hours on it before it needs serious mechanics, right?

Thanks in advance, best regards.

I wouldn't be scared of a 1k hours at all. If $20k is around what you want to spend, this one just popped up. I'd jump on it if I were you...

and yes, 3,000 hours is doable with proper maintenance. You'll be in the market for a new boat before it's service life has expired.

Thanks again swc5150 for your help, will you mind taking a look SIA35570 and feed me back, I really love the boat, BUT, the price is way high
for the "establishment" if it was 20K I wouldn't think twice and buy it right away, best regards,nandfoch

Man that is a killer deal!


I would say that 2005 you are looking at on SIA is in the 18 - 21 range. It looks like a really clean boat; however that 2009 looks **** clean too.

The sad truth for us 196 owners is that the values are coming back down to earth. That '05 looks nice, but I wouldn't pay anywhere near that amount for it.

I did a spreadsheet on every boat available in the US over about the 3 month span while I was looking for my boat. Ended up with a 2001 but I was tracking all TSC hulls (1997-2009). I have 6 samples from 2005 in my list, from 15900-28900. I wouldn't spend more than $22K for one. The closest I found with similar hours sold for I believe it was $21.9K:
