kfennell Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Man I've been looking for months now, and now that we are skiing and spending $500 a month paying by the hour for the club boat I need to get something in about 1 month when the dock is done. I am looking for something like a carbon pro, txi, 200, maybe a 196, or something else if the price was good enough. The wife is being more picky then I thought about the color so I will need something that looks nice too. Last fall there were some good boats that met these qualifications, especially some cheap 2008-2009 ZO boats, now there is nothing like that. With the carbon pro's and the 200's most people are asking ~2-3k less then what you could buy them new for. Im considering just buying a new TXI since the prices are getting silly. Recently a promo guy told me that he is telling people $3k more on the price now then he was a few months ago since there are so few nice boats on the market. Help!

Baller ntx Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 This time of year, the price goes up. The time to buy was several months ago. Good luck with the search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 There are three 2011 MC 197 promos in houston still left. One with tower, two without. Easy driving distance for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Boody Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Swiss Ski School in Forida sell their 200s when they get 500 hours and they go for the mid 30s. That is where I got my boat. $2,500 to ship it Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jdarwin Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Kevin - if you can wait until August, my 2012 Carbon Pro can be had for $38,500. Approx 200 hours and very well maintained. Never been titled so new boat financing / warranty would apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ya joe yours seems like the best deal around, but I am paying $500 a month to use the somewhat poorly maintained club boat till then. I don't know if I can make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Moskier3ev Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Joe, I offered Kevin My 11 LXI Promo for upper 30s under 200hrs cover trailer stereo upgraded bimini. Red/ white and charcoal. Offered an option to share a trailer since we have property in the subdivision a 3k discount. Yes, If I can't get another boat I will charge more money. I said a 2k increase if my family has to go with out a boat. But as I speak it is still at the price I quoted Kevin. Great boat, Good price, Avail. tomorrow I guess it must not be good looking. Jeff Lindsey Tina and I are coming to your fall tournament. If you haven't been to a tourney at Cottonwood 1st Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted April 2, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted April 2, 2012 @Moskier Are you liking those new HO boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Jeff, that's a damn good deal on your boat. FWIW, When I'm quoting a price on our promo, I'm telling people X amount if you want it tomorrow and Y amount if you will take it in 6-8 weeks(which is production time at MC or Correct Craft if you really push them), or Z amount if you take it in September. At least with both of them, they keep a couple in backlog(in popular/nuetral colors) in case a promo owner gets a buyer mid year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Moskier3ev Posted April 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2012 Scott, Our club boat at SMRR is a great deal. Tina and I have used it occacionally when we were boatless. 08 LXI ZO $39 an engine hour + gas. It is a little rough I agree with Kevin. but $39 an engine hour. I really liked them. I just could not keep the laces tight. I was putting a knot in the lace to keep it from loosening. I was afraid I would crash and not come out. I am on my animals for a while until I can get new laces. Jeff Lindsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted April 2, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted April 2, 2012 I may have to try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MickeyThompson Posted April 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 3, 2012 Kevin, I have a friend that just put his SN 196 up for sale. It's a 2008, 690 hours, zero off. Asking price 29,900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jdarwin Posted April 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 3, 2012 Corrected - $38,500. That was a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Moskier3ev Posted April 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 3, 2012 Shane, since we have access to a couple of boats on our lake my price is still good. We have access to a 99 CC just do not like to jump behind it. Then we have our club boat so I have options. But I have done the now or 6 week price.
