Baller skihart Posted April 19, 2016 Baller Posted April 19, 2016 Hi I am considering upgrading our 2004 MC 197. I have my eye on a 200 with the 6.0. However, I did ski the Prostar with Brooks Wilson and really did like it. Less turblence than the 200 and a great pull. My daughter really liked it at slower speeds as well. I know the 2014's had issues with the 5.7 and transmission. My current boat has a 6.0 so I would like to try to find another with that motor. If anybody knows of a promo for sale or someone selling one, please let me know. Thanks
Baller dbutcher Posted April 19, 2016 Baller Posted April 19, 2016 Ski it Again SIA 36176 and SIA25412, both in Arkansas.
Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 19, 2016 Baller Posted April 19, 2016 The 5.7 wasn't universally an issue. There were some boats with (as I understand it) the wrong transmission. Many of the 5.7L boats were just fine -- in fact a couple of ballers had promos (may still have them) from that year that performed great. So, don't rule out the 5.7, but definitely ski it before you write your check -- could save yourself some real money.

Baller Moskier3ev Posted April 20, 2016 Baller Posted April 20, 2016 @greenyskis 6.2 is an awesome boat.... Jeff Lindsey
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted April 20, 2016 Baller_ Posted April 20, 2016 I was fortunate in that my 2014 with the 5.7 hasn't had the transmission issues or the need for the additional vent fan, we're at sea level so getting up to speed on the short set up lakes has not been an issue as well, 145 hours and spotless, $49K includes delivery to the lower 48
Baller skihart Posted April 21, 2016 Author Baller Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks for info guys I will have a look. The 6.2's seem to be rare birds. I have seen a few 5.7's in the low to mid 40's but who knows what your getting...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted April 22, 2016 Baller_ Posted April 22, 2016 @skihart - where are you located ?
Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 23, 2016 Baller Posted April 23, 2016 @skihart - @richarddoane keeps the best maintained and cleanest boats I've ever seen, and I'm pretty over the top on my own boat. But my standards don't come close. You would be thrilled with his boat. Guaranteed.
Baller skihart Posted April 24, 2016 Author Baller Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks for the info guys. I found a sweet 200 6.0 that I can't resist. Maybe a Prostar next time around.
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted April 29, 2016 Baller_ Posted April 29, 2016 did anyone notice the free delivery in the SIA ad ?
Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 29, 2016 Baller Posted April 29, 2016 @richarddoane I'd take it in a heartbeat if I was in the market! I don't think the average person knows how nice you keep a boat!
Baller 6balls Posted May 2, 2016 Baller Posted May 2, 2016 Having just skied a 6.2 Prostar...I was just awestruck with how quickly to speed and this was NOT giving it the full throttle treatment...trying to give friendly hole shots.
