LK_skier, I have a 2014 Team edition 200 6L , open bow with close to 2000 hours. Currently does not have a trailer. Boat had 250 hours when I purchased it and only on San Marcos River Ranch used for 3 event skiing since. Excellent condition and well maintained. Kept on lift. Only minor cosmetic scapes etc. Cushions from front and rear seats kept in attic so basically new. I upgraded to single puck ZO. I wasn't thinking of selling but could be a reasonable thing and could help someone out. Let me know if you are interested.

@DW Boat had one episode at around 300 hours where it went into safe mode after heating up to around 200. Replaced the impeller but still heated up when I started it so my boat mechanic thought the water pump was not working and he replaced it. I have not had any other Impeller failures and they have been changed every 300 hundred hours. Boat has been used exclusively on fresh water private water ski lakes and is located in South Texas at San Marcos River Ranch. Never have winterized it but I have an automatic engine heater during the winter months and when it get below the 40's. Routine service was done at the same time impellers were changed. Thanks to the several folks who have emailed me separately to discuss pricing.

Thanks all. That is what I was thinking as well. There was some water in the engine well so several hundred hours ago I had the rear shaft seal replaced as it is supposed to be dry and while the shaft was out asked the mechanic to replace the strut bushings. The mechanic said the shaft alignment was perfect and the bushings were great. Jody, good call on the rudder port b/c that's where the water was coming in. So if anyone wants a great boat for a great price let me know.

I have a 2011 promo ProStar 197 WTT with a 5.7 Ilmor that is in awesome condition. I have maintained it meticulously and the boat has been used only for 3 event skiing/training on fresh water. It is dialed in and skis awesome. Most of the hours are due to tricks. The water pump was replaced at about 300 hrs and the fuel pump finally went out at 1300 hours. I didn't intend to sell this boat but because MC has changed hulls I decided to buy a Malibu for the next season and sell this boat. The boat now has 1450 hours. Prospective buyers inquire about the boat because the price is good; 29,900 but once they hear the hours I don't hear from them again. I would be interested to see what your experience is with high hour boats and what can realistically be expected before the engine needs to be replaced. The engine purrs like a kitten and there are no oil leaks or other issues to speak of.
