Baller Lieutenant Dan Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 Anyone out there who’s familiar with this boat in Granbury/ Lakes at Times Cove and can vouch for it’s condition? I (somewhat) foolishly goaded a ski partner into selling his older Malibu with PP so that he could buy that boat with ZeroOff. Now I’m committed to going with him from Cincinnati to pick it up tomorrow/ Wednesday. I think it will be ok but just would like confirmation that we will be happy after driving 1000+ miles. Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skimtb Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 No help but that is a good wake. Is that an ‘05? I used to ski with a guy with 05 TSC2. It was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Lieutenant Dan Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 @skimtb It’s a 2004 @bananaron Yes, that’s the one. It does look very nice. Just hoping to get confirmation before such a long drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bananaron Posted June 22, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 @Lieutenant Dan Was he firm at $26,000 ? Which for me is very high however its a different market now.I have been burned once on traveling to get a boat.It does help to have someone preview the boat if not possible I always get many photos and videos as possible.I also ask the owner a detailed list of questions about the boat and if they don't pass my test I don't buy the boat.Good luck road trips are fun.I am sure this one looks pretty nice..

Baller Lieutenant Dan Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 @bananaron I’m not aware of the financials. @skier2788 can you vouch for this boat? Please message me if you prefer. @sbink same question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 My Father bought this boat from a gentleman in Possum kingdom who bought it new. It was well maintained with low hours. My Father bought it knowing that I could convert it to ZO as I have with many other 196's. I ordered the kit from Tim white at inboard solutions. Since the install the single puck ZO has had no issues and the boat runs great. My Father has had new tires installed and wheel bearings greased in preparation for this travel. He also held this boat for your buddy with no deposit and turned away another perspective buyer while your buddy sold his Malibu. This due diligence should have been done a lot earlier in this process. The fact my father held the boat for your buddy and offered for you two to stay in his house goes to show his honest character. This post is rather insulting. After going out of his way the least you can do is make the trip and look at the boat. Can I vouch for the boat? Yes it is as advertised. Will he sell the boat to your buddy after being insulted? I don't know. He really hated seeing this boat go but I am moving to Granbury and selling my ZO 196 this fall so that we can purchase a newer boat. Selling a boat in the summer makes more sense than in the winter. As far as being negotiable not really. No pressing reason to sell. Thanks Travis Torley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Lieutenant Dan Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 @skier2788 I truly meant no offense. I am very sorry to you and your father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 I apologize that was a bit of a knee jerk reaction. Your post initially made it sound like you were considering not coming to at least look at the boat. I can understand it is a long trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sbink Posted June 23, 2020 Members Share Posted June 23, 2020 I haven't skied the 04 SN in question but I have seen it and it looks clean. The Owner is super nice and it looks like he maintains everything well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
