13.5k ZO 6.0 Mastercraft

[ozski]

This might just be a weapon! Cheap ZO 6.0 Mastercraft

[Rpc29]

I have this boat with a 5.7 LT-1 and it's crazy fast. Can't imagine that hull with a 6.0, would be super fun for the driver!

[303Skier]

I'd love to drive and ski behind that boat! Very cool!

[Onside135]

I saw this when it was first posted and thought that when sold, it will be the cheapest zero off boat sold to date.

 

Well worth the asking price...in my opinion.

[Orlando76]

Didn't I just see a red 96 MC with ZO in Windermere, FL for the same price? Kinda gotten the feeling it might've belong to KLP? That one almost got my wheels turning in my head.

[dchristman]

Ummm... anybody look at the picture? It sure isn't an MC190, unless the hull's also been upgraded with that of a 1996 Nautique.

[oldjeep]

Looks like a 96 prostar dash to me.

 

Interior looks same as this one

[dchristman]

OK. I'm convinced :)

Geez what is motor alone on the re-power worth?

I'd be suspicious personally...seems one of those things that doesn't quite add up.

If in Florida, though and cud verify in person...

[bigskieridaho]

I am pretty sure I remember seeing a thread somewhere about this boat. Can't remember where though. Pretty legit though for the price!

[swc5150]

I bet it's legit. Prob a salty too, with a galvanized trailer? It's an old, and not overly sought after hull. Other than maybe to a baller wanting ZO, the repower won't crank up the value on the open market on that boat. I just don't see ZO being that illusive these days. It's been listed for a while too, so I must not be the only one with that opinion.

[scoke]

Well I can't speak FOR Mike but I'll toss in a few comments.

 

It's a very nice boat as he keeps it in West Palm during the winter and skis at okeeheelee. I highly doubt he goes to the salt water drinking beer as they are at the lake hanging out when they are here. Saying it's in saltwater down here is bad karma as that's just uninformed speculation.

 

Not sure what goes on up on the "north end" of okeeheelee as most people ski from the main docks via the main/turnpike/ew lakes including Mike and this boat.

 

He's a standup guy and wanted ZO a few years back.

 

[swc5150]

I only questioned saltwater, I wasn't trying to make a statement. Sounds like a nice boat for someone wanting a rocket ship on the cheap then.

[shansen345]

My friend's 1998 SportStar scoots with a 305 Chevy, can't imagine what it'd be like with over 100 more HP...

[303Skier]

There was also a 07 or 08 SN 196 for sale in CO that was high hours and only like $13k. Don Lafavor's boat.

[vtjc]

@303Skier That 08 196 in CO went for $20k, I was the second highest bidder: ebay link

 

@shansen345 I agree I had a 99 SportStar with 350/5.7L with 310HP it was a rocket. I still enjoy sking behind a friends 98 SportStar with an LT-1. That 95-97 Prostar hull with a 6L would be very powerful and fast.

[303Skier]

@vtjc gave that boat away @$20K

[Jody_Seal]

Nobody is giving these boats away, these boats are being sold at what the market will bare. I have 03 MC sitting in the yard now, repowered, ZO, asking $15K and no offers!

 

[gt2003]

What years were the "death star"?

[MISkier]

@gt2003, it was 1998 through 2000 that were non-optimal for the 190. The SportStar did not have that hull design and continued on with the 1995-1997 hull design through its entire run, so it should be good all years. The Skier 19 and Prostar 195 also used the 1995-1997 design. Beginning in 1996, the 205 also continued on with the 1995-1997 design and should be good all years.
