Baller jerseydave Posted January 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 7, 2012 The NY boat show is going on right now, I'm going tomorrow (sunday). Anyone else on here going? Hoping to see a 197, LXi and 200 but this area is big into wakeboard boats and larger saltwater series boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ilivetoski Posted January 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 7, 2012 You will see a 200, 197, and Txi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted January 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 7, 2012 Make sure to report on the 3 tournament boats that are there among all the alumacrafts, skeeters, rangers and wake-board boats. Should easily be able to see what you are interested in over a lunch hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ilivetoski Posted January 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 7, 2012 You may actually see a carbon pro somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jerseydave Posted January 7, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'll take a few pics and post them when I get back. A carbon pro......that would be cool but I doubt it will be there. @ 6balls, not interested in anything in the near future but I would love to see some of you guys buy some 200's from my buddy Lou, owner of Offshore marine here in NJ. A great guy that will go out of his way to help anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashman Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I always go to the Indy Boat/Sport/Travel show at the end of Feb. They have it at the fair grounds and they do me the favor of firing up the fryers and there's plenty of beer.. It's like going to the fair in winter, only with boats.

Baller_ The_MS Posted January 19, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted January 19, 2012 @GJohnson. Should be a bit warmer by the weekend. Stay healthy. I am indoors on Fri and Sun but I will be thinking about you guys out there on the frozen rinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted January 24, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted January 24, 2012 After checking out the big 3, I may think hard about getting out of the tourney scene, keep the 08 and stay home all summer. CC200 64K, MB TXI 61k and MC bare bones for 59k. The Carbon Pro comes in at the low cost of 45K. It is not good when 45K is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 MS - I was quoted $52! for the carbon pro. Anyways the TXI can be bought new for MUCH MUCH MUCH less then that. I was told $45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted January 24, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted January 24, 2012 You need to come up to Mn. I will set you up with the dealer who will make it happen. If you can get a 45K TXI, get it and dont buy used. The Promo guys will not be happy with dealers selling new TXIs for that price but what can they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So im thinking that if I buy the new TXI and I sell it in 3 years that it's worth ~ $33k then, if I buy a 2008 SN 196 for $30k is it really worth only $18k when it is 6 years old? Will i have to do enough repairs to bring the Total cost of ownership up that high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted January 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2012 $64k is pretty expensive for a team 200. If a tournament skier wants a 200, Charles will price a Team with trailer for $58k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 ONLY! wow what a deal :| Seriously, I'm decently paid and I have basically no expenses, and that is still really more then I am comfortable with, are they pricing themselves into a market that consists only of people making >$250k?

Baller Mrs_MS Posted January 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2012 @MS We can reflect on this in Hawaii...something (along with other fun things) we used to do every year B4 we threw ourselves 100% behind our love for Waterskiing!

Baller Razorskier1 Posted January 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2012 New boat cost is out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted January 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2012 I sold my '08 196 late last summer for $30k, and just picked up a '97 SN for $11k. Other than the gate trough, it's the same hull, just no ZO. For a -$22k swing, I can live with PPSG (happily!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted January 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2012 ...laughing all the way to the bank running my '00 SN 196. Bang for the buck and at the sweet spot of the law of diminishing returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted January 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2012 @OB $700 you say... Let me call the bank and void that check real quick and rewrite you a new one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Does that include free gas for the $700? If not I think we were getting the best deal when at wards place, $1150 pp including unlimited gas, and there was almost never a crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted January 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 25, 2012 OB, I pay $375/yr to share access to a two-course farm pond w/my partner Bob where said 196 is parked. Other than only getting to use it in the relatively short MN season...pretty cheap! You do have a nice gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted January 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 25, 2012 Less than fixing a ski site : ) Kidding aside, it was $17K in '08. Your $700/yr boat and $1200 yr membership are serious bargains. When I did residency in Waterloo (Iowa), I paid under $100 annually to have access to their private site, and $2/tenth on the hour meter of their promo boat. Crazy bargain.

Baller_ The_MS Posted January 25, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted January 25, 2012 @OB, its like the rednecks to riches show on TV. Classic stuff out of NW La. PJ and I almost have you beat with 500 per year and 4.25 per set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted January 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 25, 2012 @OB yeah I know... It sucks being in college, always broke. Skiing off financial aid from our BIG Government. So no complaints here. Got to pay for my addiction some how... waterski app related design, does not cover it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
