Baller xrated Posted April 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2016 Well after 16 years of longing for an inboard all my own this weekend we picked up our families first tow boat!!!! 1992 Ski Nautique. 1591 hours, Perfect Pass, the vinyl honestly looks amazing considering the age, same with the rest of the interior. Got it from a 3 event guy here in MN, last name of Swanson. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg9/yz125x/6F2BF49C-088A-48F4-8895-15CC41CBECBD_zpsjq45fjbm.jpg Happy wife and kids. Wife even said when the discussion came up of boat or house upgrades that she wanted the kids to have memories of being on the water!!! http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg9/yz125x/C3B16BB5-59AA-460E-B102-C396FA1C97F6_zps78bcmwpg.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg9/yz125x/498122EF-80AD-4C0C-91B9-D1A4BA9A6E38_zpsr3lfphwd.jpg The face of feeling inboard power while behind the wheel for the first time! http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg9/yz125x/328115C5-1972-476E-8871-51D401786CB6_zpsisnars3l.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg9/yz125x/1B593A9D-A35E-447D-947B-C5A47C330CDC_zpsu7hpms4m.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg9/yz125x/9078DCEA-CE0E-4576-A9B1-0DA91AA696A7_zpsuaorkcjg.jpg Thanks @Shell @jlittle @6balls and a few others for fielding questions.

Baller Edbrazil Posted April 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2016 Nice, but how much for $$$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller xrated Posted April 19, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted April 19, 2016 Opps We paid 7k. Could we have found a better deal? Maybe. But something just felt right after seeing the boat and spending time with the seller that made us feel comfortable with the price. I haven't bought lots of toys in life but I've been around enough snowmobiles, motorcycles and dirt bikes and boats to know the signs of a person who takes care of and is meticulous about what they own and have learned those are the types you want to buy used from.

Baller xrated Posted April 19, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted April 19, 2016 @Wish imagine buying it on Friday, driving from the metro to Rochester and listening to kids all weekend and 3.5 hours on the drive home Sunday asking for a ride!

Baller jhughes Posted April 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2016 Nice boat! One of my favorite looking hulls of all time. Nothing like it on the water. I think that is a fair price, you did fine there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
