Booyah262 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Hey everyone! I have some strict requirements for the new lake I'm at. I'm looking for some feedback on best used ski boats with the following specs: Max 21'0" Max 3500 lbs We ski and surf, but honestly will spend most of our time floating around and doing night cruises. What is the best used boat for the money? I'd like to keep it under $80k (and preferred around $60k). Would love a good color combo, lighting, and speakers. Reliability is key as well, since we're buying used. The Axis A-20's would work and look cool. Open to suggestions! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ DW Posted February 7 Baller_ Share Posted February 7 @Booyah262 - those restrictions are perfect for a deep dive in to slalom, trick and barefooting. There are a myriad of Mastercraft, Nautique and Malibu boats waiting for your purchase. All 20' and under 3500 lbs. Ski-it-Again can be your friend for this.

Baller UWSkier Posted February 8 Baller Share Posted February 8 Surf and under 3500 lbs are kindof mutually exclusive. The new DD ski boats are all over 3100 lbs dry and much heavier that rigged for running and fueled up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BrennanKMN Posted February 8 Baller Share Posted February 8 This is one of those cases where the term 'Ski Boat' is often painted with a very wide brush. Around me, if it isn't a fishing boat it is a ski boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller chrislandy Posted February 8 Baller Share Posted February 8 2014+ mastercraft prostar with bow seating & tower 2010+ Nautique 200 open bow & tower Both have loads of space for cruising / floating, foiling, surfing is possible (kids can surf without a rope, adults will struggle) skiing is excellent, both under 3500lb, both can be found under 80k or if more surf/foil/float bias then MC NXT most surf / wake boats even sub 21ft will have a total weight well in excess of 3500lb when on board ballast is taken into account (which generally they do when talking max boat weight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted February 8 Baller Share Posted February 8 HOA 21 feet or DNR 21 feet? Watch out for HOA they measure and sometimes they dont care that the platform isnt included when someone says an Axis is 20 feet and the measuring tape comes in over 21.

Baller h2onhk Posted February 8 Baller Share Posted February 8 Get your crew hooked on skiing! Find a Nautique 196 or Sport Nautique, Mastercraft 197, or maybe a Malibu LXi for ~$30k or less, then take the other ~$30-50k and drop it on a pontoon for your floating and night cruises. More room for everyone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
