WTB - older boat

[nam1975]

Ballers,

 

Looking to buy an older boat to keep at my parents cottage.

 

Free ski sets, teaching kiddos to ski, tubing.

 

Budget is under 10k. Would prefer no wood stringers and floors.

 

TLC boat is ok. Wax, tuneup, interior, trailer. etc. But I don’t really want an engine or stringer floor job.

 

Within 4 hours of SE Michigan.

 

Thanks!!

'91-'94 Prostar, perhaps a 205 if you can find one. Sunsetter.

Have an 83 MC Stars & Stripes I’ll be ready to sell in a few weeks . No wood stringers . Done a ton to it to be very sound mechanically, not perfect cosmetically but looks great at 20 ft . Grey with blue metalflake. Only issue is not within 4 hrs SEMich. Central Arkansas, but < $5k

Doesn't list hours. But in your price range and distance https://southbend.craigslist.org/boa/d/donaldson-1997-malibu-sunsetter-lx/7144560513.html

Couple nice nice Nautiques and ProStar's in Ontario right now. With the dollar you could be picking up a newer boat then expected for the your $10k budget. Look on kijiji

waterskiproshop in Boise, ID is sitting on a 1997 ski nautique bubble butt with 372 hours, and the gt 40 motor, asking 12500. exterior is horrible, interior is nice. that boat in that era was by far the best thing offered in the market. the 97-01 nautiques were ahead of their time. offer 9 and see where it goes.
