Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 14, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted February 14, 2020 One of my customers has a very nice 1990 Supra that he has taken very good car of. He asked me to take a look at it today because it had developed a little bit of a wobble and he was worried about the under water gear. We found that the prop just needed a good tightening. I sent it home with his nephew because he's not ready to sell it yet, but will be in a few months. Before I go to the work of a Ski-it-again listing, or ebay, I thought that I'd post a couple of pictures and see if any Ballers were interested, or knew of anyone else that might be. Send me a PM if you, or someone you know wants a clean "old school" slalom tug. Thanks in advance. Also wondering what price this thing might bring. Located in Seattle WA.

Baller Orlando76 Posted February 15, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 15, 2020 But it’s not a Yeti... With a Salt Life sticker... and a Costa sticker. Must be 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted February 15, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sweet boat, I live old school tugs. I sold a mint '91 Centurion for $7500 last year if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 15, 2020 Author Baller_ Share Posted February 15, 2020 @6balls I saw that '92 Brendella asking $7200, and this one is just as nice, sounds like your '91 was also well kept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 16, 2020 Author Baller_ Share Posted February 16, 2020 eBay with a $5K reserve ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bdecker Posted February 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 17, 2020 Awesome boat! I had an 89 that looked a lot like that but with “raspberry” pin striping. 16 awesome summers with that boat. Sold it in 2006 for $6500 with double the hours and in need of some interior freshening. Pretty sure the kid who’s parents bought it put it on some rocks within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted March 13, 2020 Author Baller_ Share Posted March 13, 2020 Bump. April 1st it is going on eBay, unless someone with around $7K is out there lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted March 13, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted March 13, 2020 My wife and I had that exact boat. Same year, same color. The only difference I see is that our boat cooler Had more of a maroon base. The one in the photo is a better match for the boat. It was one sharp looking boat for the time. And it was our wedding present to each other. I’ve traded several times since then. Boats, not wives. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bananaron Posted March 13, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 13, 2020 I had a 89 exactly like this one.Fantastic boat and I sold it to a friend and it sits in a garage in MN.Its not being used now and that is a waste of a really good ski boat.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted March 14, 2020 Author Baller_ Share Posted March 14, 2020 @lpskier - I had someone ask about stringers ? wood or composite ? I have no knowledge other than the boat is in great shape so not a deal breaker IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller foxriverat Posted March 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 14, 2020 @RichardDoane Wood stringers. They started using glass in some 1992 models. Only ones with rounded windshields in 92 had glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted July 18, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 18, 2020 Do u have it on Craigslist? I easily sold a ‘87 MC 190 on minneapolis craigslist a few years ago. If I had space I’d buy it I love classic ski boats. It’s an awesome first boat for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jetsetr Posted July 18, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 18, 2020 Shouldn’t have any problem selling. Wouldn’t start any less than $7500. My Brendella sold in less that 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted July 18, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 18, 2020 I put over 1200 hours on one. Loved it. WS Magazine rated it as one of the best used boats to own along side the 92-94 MC and 97-01 SN. That’s impressive company. Someone will get a killer boat.

Baller MDB1056 Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Way cool boat. The only negative (risk) is all the wood. Having done it, it's a huge undertaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 In the last two weeks my cousin and my buddy both just sold boats locally on CL for full asking price in a similar price range. The boats were gone the same day the ad went up with multiple back-up offers in case the deal fell through. I've personally never had a problem selling big-ticket items on CL but I get that there are some BS scammers out there. I sold my travel trailer during the start of the lock-down in two days for nearly full asking price. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller foxriverat Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 I sold my 96 supra and very many items on craigslist. "If you see this ad its still available, low ballers and scammers will be ignored" Those people used to tick me off. Now I laugh and just delete their emails.

Baller 6balls Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 I've sold 2 vehicles, a set of wheels, and a boat all on craigslist. That large amount of cash was in my account the next day. I've bought two vehicles using craigslist as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 @RichardDoane I totally understand the Craiglist problems but,myself,i would never buy a boat on EBay either. Reality is,used boat market in on Craiglist.Would sell quickly IMO. My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dvskier Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 I’ve never had a problem with craigslist. Bought and sold several cars, boats, etc. You need to know that there are scam artists, “I’ll give you a certified cashiers check, etc.”. As with all things I do business face to face. Never been scammed. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bananaron Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 @RichardDoane I have bought/sold many boats the last few yrs and have had good luck with craigslist and also the boat websites.If your boat were on my lift in MN I would sell it really quick and a very good price.Boats in MN command a high price and thats why I buy elsewhere and sell here.I had a 1989 Supra TS6M that now sits in a garage and is still mint condition however not being used.I have tried to convince the owner to sell it however no luck.They are great boats.....
