Baller skinut Posted March 1, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 1, 2017 About a year ago my ski partner passed away. He had a 2005 Ski Nautique 196. His wife asked me if I would help sell the boat. I wanted to see what your opinions on the value of the boat might be. The boat has: 200 hours Team Edition Star Gazer GM 5.7 liter? Tandem Axle Bimini Travel Cover I have looked at ski-it-again but the ranges were all over the place. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted March 1, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted March 1, 2017 Excalibur engine will be worth more to someone who wants to convert it to Zero Off. Confirm which engine it has and highlight that in your listing, if Excalibur. I had thought Team Edition would have this engine. Hours seem to be good. What is the condition and where was it used (salt/fresh water, location, private lake only, etc.)? The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller skinut Posted March 1, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted March 1, 2017 @MISkier it is the excal and is in good condition with fresh water use only. @MS Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted March 1, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted March 1, 2017 With the 07/08/09 ZO equipped boats with 300-600 hrs still fetching 30k, that is a good start point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bojans Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 if it is an Excaliber and upgradeable to Zero Off, please send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 Our friends just sold their 2005 for $22,500 and it had just over 400 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skinut Posted March 2, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 @bojans it is the Excal but I have no idea if it is upgradable to ZO. How do you find out if it is compatable with ZO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeballer Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If the boat is a drive by wire throttle control, as in it doesn't have a throttle cable going to the throttle body, then you could convert to Zero off with out any trouble as far as I know. This can be a big deal as owners of older SNs sometimes put in a complete power plant that is drive by wire just to run Zero off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 If it has the Excaliber engine it is upgradable. Type of throttle does not matter. Only interface on engine between throttle type would be different. I upgraded my 02 196 with a mechanical throttle to ZO in 2010. Same mechanical throttle is still in my boat as was built with in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rockdog Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 Low $20ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 Amazingly low hours! With the Excaliber and hours @MS is right on at about 25K, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skinut Posted March 2, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 I just looked at the title and it is a 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fast351 Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yep, I did a ton of research when I bought my 2001. $25K sounds right to me. If it's absolutely pristine with a color combo that someone really wants you may get a couple grand more out of it. Another thing that can depreciate it is use near an ocean. If there is even a chance it touched saltwater it's usually worth a little less ($1-$2K). Galvanized trailer is a good indicator of this. I've attached my spreadsheet that I built when I was researching SN196s. This was a year and a half ago, but prices haven't moved. The fact that it's spring time actually helps a little actually. There isn't a boat that's real close to what you have since the hours are so low, but it gives you a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller elr Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 '06 could be a really easy ZO upgrade. You might try calling CC with the hull number and/or engine serial number. I did this when I was looking a few years back and CC was very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WCM Posted March 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2017 I called Nautique parts when I bought my used 2005 206 and they emailed me the build sheet on it. Every option and colors were on it. Here's the email address it came from. Nautiqueparts Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
