Baller_ Rednucleus Posted November 2, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted November 2, 2019 LOL great memory of my buddy's 1st boat we called the Green Hemorrhoid - an old green runabout with an even older 55 hp Evinrude. Ran great till it got warm, then the coil would short out until it cooled off. We learned to ski up river with a cooler of beer. When it quit we just drifted back to the launch - Good Times!

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted November 2, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted November 2, 2019 Green boats are the best. Or at least they were before they replaced "green" with "ultra-glow-burn-your-eyes-green." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted November 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2019 When the hull gets green algae growing on it, you have to waste a day cleaning it. So yes, they are bad luck when they turn green. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Orlando76 Posted November 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2019 I say they are bad luck because, well, look at them, they’re fugly. But every Ski Nautique built in latter 97 and all of 98 was Masters Green so somebody must like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmskiboat Posted November 2, 2019 Members Share Posted November 2, 2019 It really depends on the color and accents. When we were looking for a boat we found one we called Hulk, 2013 PS with tower and ballast. The ugliest green, bright and no contrast inside at all. Just green on green for days. Terrible. We then found a 2014 PS that was green and looked amazing, nice color and contrast. Since you keep a boat for such a short time it does not really matter, selling might be a little harder but if done well I think it would be fine.

Baller PatM Posted November 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2019 I would have loved a green boat. Mostly because I'm Irish and love the color. My buddy has a 1998 Sport Nautique that is green. That boat has given him little to no issues and it is not the most well cared for boat either.

Baller cougfan Posted November 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2019 One of my ski buddies has a green 1998 Malibu Sportster that looks like new and is still running strong with almost 900 hrs. I have a 2002 Malibu Sunsetter LXI with 400hrs that is also green and wouldn’t trade it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted November 2, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2019 @Drago as soon as I convince someone at MasterCraft that pink* metal flake will resale I will get it.

Baller gregy Posted November 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2019 Years ago when I was in the boat business we hardest time selling green boats. Usually they got discounted and sold in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmskiboat Posted November 2, 2019 Members Share Posted November 2, 2019 @Horton Maybe this article will help the cause: We bought a pink waterski boat. Seriously, it was almost ridiculous - who buys a pink waterski boat? Well we did, because, in what seemed like one day, my husband went from being a normal patriarch of a boating family, to a man crazily obsessed with waterskiing. None of us could have imagined what the pink ski boat and the sport of waterskiing would come to mean to our family. https://www.boatingmag.com/pink-boat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted November 4, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted November 4, 2019 That's a lot of boat for 30k. 2009 SN with ZO are selling for that. If the wakes were juuuust a little bit softer.... But that motor...wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshock Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That was my boat - for what its worth, it was difficult to sell. I got a lot of comments about the green. It is a love/hate thing. Far more comments about the green than the black bottom. But, it was also a 5.3l and had just had a brand new motor put in it because of some warranty work gone bad (by me). My last three boats have been black or black metal flake and reef blue (teal). They have looked great and the first one sold in a flash (I still have the other two and haven't really started pushing them for sale 2015 200 and 2019 SN). The 2019 will be on TNT's website, shortly, if you are interested. Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sethro Posted November 4, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 4, 2019 @liquid d it doesn’t attach to the truck. It’s just a trailer converted to a dolly as a winch pulls it up the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BraceMaker Posted November 5, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2019 @Sethro surprised you haven't made more of an access to the front bow eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sethro Posted November 5, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2019 @BraceMaker I'm not sure what you mean? When the boat floats on the dolly, the bow eye is actually embedded in that bumper at the "v" of the trailer due to the angles involved with the rails. The nose of the boat slowly rises to the height you see it as the hull comes in contact with the bunks. Someday I will actually cut the front of the dolly off, and weld two uprights that will contact the rub rail on each side to facilitate placing the boat in the right spot front to back.

Baller BraceMaker Posted November 5, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2019 @Sethro just mean that looking at it in your garage it would seem that you could make a V cradle that bolted the the trailer that wrapped around the side such that when it was in the garage you had easier access up onto the boat and that you could walk around and clip it when it was in the water. Almost like a narrow carpeted dock bolted to the side of the trailer as access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sethro Posted November 5, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 5, 2019 @BraceMaker Ahhhh, I see what you mean. I can easily clip it from my dock, and the dolly actually has a little step on the very end to help get into the boat. But that would be the ultimate in ease of access.
