crashman Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 @Jcmccavit Is there a weight difference between the 275hp throttle body EFI engine that is listed as standard in the 2000 brochure and the 310hp GT-40 that is listed as the standard engine in the 2001 brochure? I thought the hull was the same in 2000 and 2001 being the TSC1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted August 13, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hull is the same. Engine options can be either I believe. But u want the GT-40. Bullet proof and easy to work on even for a tool of a hack wanna be machanic like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted August 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2012 xtra weight to screw up your wake. GT40 is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JC McCavit Posted August 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2012 @crashman - Good question. Please don't consider me an expert. I am sure there is some weight differnce between the engines. Jody is the one who most likely knows the exact weight difference. I have know idea why the 2001 one put on weight with the same hull shape as the 1997 - 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tfriess Posted August 19, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm wondering what would be the better buy. A SN 196 97-02 or a Mastercraft 190 99-01. Which was the better wakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 19, 2012 196 hands down. Seriously the '97 to '09 196 hull throws an amazing wake whether it is TSC 1,2, or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted August 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 19, 2012 Agree on 196! Weren't there some bad MC hulls in the 99-01 time frame. I remember rudders with wings as a fix for something then. Chine lock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller usaski1 Posted August 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think in 98 they put the MC on shore in the boat test! When was that again? I know someone with a 98, but I think he got the 97 hull or something on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller tfriess Posted August 21, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 @harddock thats a bit high on the hours. looking for something with less. theres a lot i like, but i live in wisconsin and all are very far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 @harddock you may be high. 2 yrs ago I bought a 2000 196 with 84 hrs (mint) for $17K even...heater, stereo, tune-able rudder, cover, trailer, PP classic. Was looking at other 97/98's with 500 ish hours for $14-$15K at the time when I came across the low hour boat. He was asking $19800 and I wanted to stay $15K, but was nearby and what I wanted so I stretched to $17K and hoped...was shocked it worked out.

Baller escmanaze Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 Harddock, where are you located? Is your boat open bow? I'm in Utah and currently eyeing a 97 SNOB with 780 hours for 13.5, so I would definitely agree that your price seems a bit high, but if you're way back east the point would be moot for me.

Baller gregy Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 This looks like a good deal. 02 Response OB. $14K http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/boa/3218885113.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 @gregy wow, nice find. Great boat appears in great shape at nice price...a lot of boat for the money. What's up with the cap on the right side transom above the platform? Something not stock there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 @6balls, Transom Mount Flush Kit. Just a habit, I look around on Craigslist for deals. Anyway that's one of the best deals on a that year range Response I've seen. Might be worth looking into if someone is looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller escmanaze Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks Gregy, I saw that one and called him late last night to buy it. It sounds like within minutes he already has buyers lined up to take it. Where I'm in SLC, I can't just pop on over today, so I'm guessing somebody will beat me to that one. I'm going to offer him some more money if he'll hold on to it for two days while I drive down there. If he won't wait 2 days for a bunch of extra money, then my intuition tells me that there is some sneaky reason he is in such a hurry to get rid of it anyway. We'll see what happens today.

Baller harddock Posted August 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2012 I am in New England and it may be high but I have to start somewhere. Mid 90's boats around here are bringing mid teens, late 80's still command 10K so for my market I may not be that far off. I am not even sure I want to sell it. I just hate to miss the 08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller escmanaze Posted August 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2012 That makes sense if boats in your particular region are going for more. Suddenly I'm glad to live in Utah :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted August 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2012 @escmanaze This boat could be had for a little over 19K. I have there ph # if anyone wants it. They're ready to deal. 2003 Malibu response with Monsoon, PP, low hours. Really good condition http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?topic=Search&category=Comp_Boat&postid=18842 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller escmanaze Posted August 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi Gregy, Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, even at 19k, that price would be somewhere right around correct and fair, but probably not a deal worth driving to Texas for. We currently have in the area 3 response LX boats that are a little older, a little more used, and they're right in that price range. The bonus to these is that they have towers, and since I am a part time wakeboarder and skater, that actually matters to me. Don't get me wrong, I do think that 19k for an 03 in good condition with low hours is a good deal, I'm not saying your friends should go lower or anything, I think their price is very fair and they'll sell it soon, but for now there are enough of those local, that I would probably just take a little higher price in order to not have to drive to texas and to have a tower. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=21802397&cat=147&lpid=&search=malibu http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=21771006&cat=147&lpid=&search=malibu http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=21744538&cat=147&lpid=&search=malibu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyroy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Before buying a boat, it may be a good idea to pay a mechanic to check the compression on the engine & the overall running condition of the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
