Dang, just what I’m looking to give my daughter for her first starter slalom boat after college graduation. To bad it’s so far from the Midwest.

[Bruce_Butterfield]

The Brendella was a really good boat in its day. Looks like a great deal for a kid right out of college and eager to ski.

[MDB1056]

Where is it located?

[MISkier]

@MDB1056, I believe it is Newberry Springs, CA.

[Horton]

oh yeah. Newberry. 1/2 way between LA & Las Vegas

[MDB1056]

Yep- WAY too far away.......

^^^^ wow, that one is worth $7500 all day long. But I’d call that pink, I like the pink.

[foxriverat]

@Orlando76 That video was from 2012

@foxriverat I figured as much but in ‘12 still a good buy. I’m not too familiar with Brendella’s but I thought they were bigger and deeper. I like the sexy true slalom lines on it.

[RichardDoane]

@Horton we need a boat for breaking ice at the Broho, is this fine tow machine still available ?

[Horton]

@RichardDoane come get it

[ALPJr]

If 1990 wasn't the peak of the sport in terms of product choices, marketing and popularity it sure was close. Nice review @Edbrazil !

[Jetsetr]

Mine is a ‘89...latest version of Stargazer PP, seperate GPS speedo, reworked prop, about 800 hours, seats are all nice, carpet 6/10 removed the rear bench for more room.

It’s a great boat for what I can do...

I distributed Brendella Boats in the Southeast for several years, they are great little ski boats! I would get that one from Horton if it were not so far away.

[gapullin]

Do you have any photos available? Please pm me with any you might have.

[Horton]

@gapullin I do not and I think the boat is sold. If you are in California and want to go look at it you are welcome to. I guess if you write a check before the other buyer then you can have it.

Back in that time period I loved to get a Brendella in a tournament on the skier end never drove one but many drivers said it required a lot of finesse to keep it centered!

[CGSki]

We had a Brendella like that as our practice boat for the VT ski team. I always liked the way it drove. I thought the wake had a hard bump, but that could easily have been attributed to issues with my skiing.

[gapullin]

I'm in British Columbia. Have you received a cheque yet?

[Horton]

@gapullin I have a verbal. If you are seriously interested shoot me an email.
