SM Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Our boat got toasted by a jetski last weekend. It hit our boat at about 50 mph. Our boat didn't survive. We are looking for either a 1990-1994 Prostar or Nautique. Does anybody know of anything for sale in the Northeast? We are between Montreal and Ottawa, Canada.

Baller_ Wish Posted August 5, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wow..hope no one was hurt. If youre into slalom at all, 97-2001 Nautique or MC 92-94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hope your party is ok! Sad day when they created jet skis. In your area it's almost the perfect time to buy a boat, be patient and wait for the guy who doesn't want to winterize and pay for storage.

Baller 6balls Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 Boat link This is a nice deal...I know in Colorado but $13K is less than most are asking and looks to be in very nice shape. Fantastic slalom boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGravelle Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 wow thats sucks probably a little scary when it happened. I don't know if you looked on kijiji but there are a few boats on there, look in ontario an quebec, I am always browsing seems like you can get a better deal in quebec little more selection aswell but i did see a nautique in muskoka that looks to be very good shape for the age 1990. might be worth a look. Happy boat hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've often said that you can take an average person, put 'em on a jet ski, and instantly lose 50 IQ points. But it seems that most jet skiers start below average anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihart Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wow that's crazy. How did the driver of the jetski make out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hope everyone is ok! Depending on budget you should seriously consider the SN196 from 1997-2002. Are you set on one of the big three? Best wishes on getting a new boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller adkh2oskier Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 That stinks, hope everyone is OK. Hope the jetski owner had Insurance to cover your loss. Check out www.ski-it-again.com, lots of boats for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jetpilotg4 Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 No details on how that happened? Hopefully everyone ok but with one less jetski on the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 My buddy who was driving the boat was knocked out and has some scrapes and cuts. The two guys on the Jetski didn't stick around when I said that we needed to call the police. Surprisingly they seemed unhurt. This could have been a lot worse. There is a police investigation with possible criminal charges. We might have found a 94 Nautique that is 10 hours away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted August 5, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have a 94 SNOB in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moffattra Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have a '90 SN in northern VT that could be for sale. Solid boat that runs strong and smooth with lots of new parts. New vinyl on drivers and obs seats. It was a ski school boat and I have 2 little kids, so no back seat and it's not exactly pristine, but it happily skis 3 or 4 times a week. Let me know if you're interested. $7k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wow! The jet ski still float/operated after the collision!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just picked this 94 up. Thanks for the suggestions. The guys on the jet ski swerved hard at the last second. The intake grate left a clear mark right up the side of our boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted August 6, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2016 That was impressively fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Considering that we saw this boat late last night and it was 10 hours away, yes. Life's too short to not ski! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 6, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2016 1. Sorry about the accident! Glad no one was hurt! 2. Nice new boat! 3. Someone should get that Nautique @6balls posted above. That is a lot of boat for the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGravelle Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 @SM glad to see you got a new boat and i agree with everyone else amazingly fast. you must have went home right after the accident and started looking hahaha, looks nice and clean, i never look in nova scotia it's farther than I would want to travel but I definitely would for the right boat. enjoy it.
