Here's a nice 97 Sport Nautique:
Sport Nautique in NH

They're asking 20k, and the color scheme is a little bland. It looks/sounds to be a good condition, low hours, boat with the 310 GT-40 motor.

Edit: Corrected link:

I was thinking the same thing, really the boat looks decent otherwise.

My '63 has original cushions, all snaps intact, no tears. Kind of amazing to me, they've spent their share of time in the sun, wet, etc.

I'm not sure if the flush kit automatically means salt water use. I think a lot of people just use these to run their boats on the trailer. For winterization etc.

Thanks for the links Marty. Call me crazy, but on the '90 in Vicksburg doesn't it occur to someone that maybe pictures taken in daylight might show the boat more favorably, one of the pictures looks like water droplets all over the lens.

Thanks for the link MartyMabe. The boat looks good, new motor, but I have a young family and I am looking for an open bow. The extra sitting area is needed with 2 kids under 6. Thanks for all the help, as I will keep the eyes open.

Interesting comment. I was told it was fresh water only, but I guess I've been told a lot of things over the years.

After discussing this with a few CCFan people I'm going to go slow and make sure I really understand the difference between the '89-'92 and '93 up Sports, make sure I see both in person before buying. If the '90 sells so be it, if it sits there the seller will be that much more motivated in October! I do have to take a trip to NYC in the next few weeks, will be sure to stop and see the boat then.

David - That is a very nice boat.    If this is the model you are looking for, then cut your best deal & get on with your SN life.    You might have to do stringers someday, but hopefully it will be far in the future.

It seems to me this should be a couple grand less based on the year, though 204 hours is barely used. It has the 351 rated at 255 HP (where did they get the extra 15 HP from?), could be a 300 plus HP boat easily with some $$$ thrown at the engine. If this could be bought under $12,000 I think it would be an interesting deal.


This boat is still listed, and the sales guy at the marina and I have emailed back and forth a bit. I told him it should be priced in the $8,000-$10,000 range because of the year. He told me to make an offer, he'd see what he could do. It looks exceptionally clean in the pictures, and about as low hour as you can find in a 20 year old boat. Here's more pics from the marina's web site:
'90 Sport
I'm debating offering $10,000. The smaller hull would work fine for me given the open bow, and I'd check the stringers as best I could, not sure how much access there is but I could turn the engine mount rail bolts and take my chances. I like the idea of a low hours, clean ride at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the listing, but my price point is a little lower and with the transport and dollar conversion, it needs to be in the 15K range. I have seen a few, just not sure how low one can go on the list price. Thanks for all the advice, and I will keep looking.

The 89 to 92 sports can be bought for under 12K pretty commonly. Nice boats, but with wooden stringers, the built in platform, and not a very big boat, they are not at the top of the most sought after list. Finding the 93-97 Sports in the 12K range is a good deal of the boat is not all beat up. BKH

The 5.0's are fuel injected. So, on the plus side, I'd imagine you'd get good throttle response. On the down side, I doubt you can pump them up very easily, except to swap out the whole thing for an Excalibur, which would probably be easier going from the 5.0 since they're both Chevy's.

I asked the PCM guy about the 5.0's at the Northeast Reunion. He said they're good engines, but that a serious slalom skier making a hard cut could haul it down a little.

I'm just saying if the price is right. You'd probably want to give it a thorough test. Including test drive, test ski, etc. To see if it would do the job for you.

I saw that one. What is the 5.0 rated at for HP? I can't see going with a smaller engine in a larger boat, unless the power can be pumped up fairly easily like a 351.

Here's a nice one in NH for 15k:
http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/1916182035.html

It looks to be in a great shape. I was wondering why it was such a great deal, turns out its a 5 liter engine. I don't know much about these engines, but it seems like a good opportunity to get a good deal if you don't really need the full power option. I'm sure others will weigh in, but I've found you don't need much at all to get up even a big wakeboarder. Footin' etc. is a different story.

I know of a 2001 Air Nautique - Direct Drive with a Tower, ballasts. Also in CA. He started at 20K, but I feel pretty sure that 17K cash would get it done. BKH

Kidder, sorry to hear you did not get that boat. Not sure what your budget is, or how far you are willing to go, but there is a nice looking 94 Sport for sale on this site. It is a California boat asking price is $13,000.
Next time you test drive and decide to buy, you may want to put an immediate deposit down to the secure the boat. Especially if it is what you are looking for and in good shape.

Hello all,

Yep, took it for a test drive, loved it, offered to purchase, and while waiting for the seller to get the paperwork in order, sold it to someone else without letting me know. So, I am back in the hunt for another one.

Having looked at pricing on some '93 up Sport Nautiques lately, that sounds like a very good deal! Assuming it's had proper maintenance the 400 hours isn't much over 17 years.
