frustrating week

I am in SC and I have an 82 2001 in very good condition that I could live without.

Form,

I have a friend in Lexington, NC ( Near Greensboro) that is selling a nice 85 2001 with new interior and he is asking about $8K. It is on a Correct Craft trailer. He purchased a 200 Tigre earlier this year and he had the boat for sale on Craig's List earlier this spring. His wife and kids wanted a larger Wake Boat. It is not currently listed as forsale any where. I do not think he is a member here, but he may be.   

E-Mail me if you are intrested and I can hook you up with him directly so that he can send you some pictures .
I hope this helps,

Donald

I totally understand what you mean about owner's pride! Were looking to get into something newer to have the peace of mind without wood (and get a gt-40). I think we would let it go for 7k, any less and we'll be way upside down after putting in a new interior, glass work on the floor, carpet and restoring the trailer. Its really a tough spot to be. They're great boats tho.... Someday I'll restore one to retire with!

I have no parameters other than it must throw a good wake and say correct craft on it.We are planning on a new one next year and needed something to hold us over till then.Maybe even be kept as a backup or a quick weekday pull.
So I guess I would spend upwards of ten to twelve on a prime example if I could find one but am not against rebuilding one for a fair price.

Bill,I am in western Oklahoma so tn is pretty far but driving across the country stoping for sets does sound like a good retirement plan.

I paid $7k for an '87 Ski Nautique. Then I spent another $4k to rebuild the stringers, floor, and gelcote. I only got $8k when I sold it. I heard it was resold and is at a dealership in TN. Long drive, great boat, beautiful country. Stop by LA on your way back and ski a few sets.

Go to this website.It does e-bay,craigslist,locals,etc. Jaxed.com-- click on Mash-- then boats-- then whatever make of boat you want- nautique,correct craft, break it down into regions or states----

I refuse to pay 7000 for a rotted pile of neglected crap.I made fair offers accordingly but the owners where to proud to take them.

Well our search for a decent 2001 has ended in disappointment.Over a thousand miles on my truck this week through two states and every boat I looked at was rotted to death(supposed to be perfect said the owners).I don't know where to look anymore.I have exhausted all my options.
I am open to suggestions.
