   That isn't 4 seperate offeres for $9,000.  But, the discussions have gone that high.  I lost count of how many people say "If you EVER think about selling the boat, call me FIRST".

My favorite question I receive is "Did you buy it new?"   I say, no, that would have been hard.....I was 3 YEARS OLD then!

	Randall- can't help but notice that your boat is registered in Alabama....you must get a lot of heat from all those Tide fans who hate the 'big orange'....as for myself I think that boat should be a member of the Vol Navy!! -82'tique Univeristy of Tennessee Alumni

	One thing that hasnt been mentioned yet is that you are only seeing the "asking" price. Most buyers and sellers go back n forth with bid and counter proposal before a deal is agreed upon. The family i bought my SN from came down $1000 and i drove away with it. Some boats really are overpriced, I drove 400+ miles from Los Angeles area to San Francisco area to buy a SN. I really wanted to buy this boat, it was everything i wanted (condition in/out, hours, colors, engine, trailer...everything).But the owner did not want to negotiate anything. His boat is still for sale after 15 months.

	I think we all are assuming asking price is a starting point...however,asking prices are up and they are selling at higher prices as well! I have been watching the market for about 4 years...nation wide searches and ebay...there has been a change upwards.Still the values are there...I think there is becomming more and more interest in the older boats. Again...like the 60's and 70's muscle cars...seems to be following that type of trend.

	May be its just me but you have to have an orginal low hours boat in above average condition or restored it and have the motor screaming with the deep exhaust note blair'n, otherwise you are trying to B_ll S_i_ the price to match the guys that have done the home work and know what they are doing and spent the money so that when you sit down in the drivers seat, it fires and puuuuuuurrrrssssssssssss with the twist of the key every time,

	I had to PAY for my 80. I had to drive 18 hours round trip to get it. The owner came down $1000 because it wasnt running right, and I had to immediatly dump $600 into it. It is in AVERAGE condition, solid as a rock but has dings and dents, couple tears in the 25 year old interior, crappy carpet and a grimy engine. BUT I am happy. I think that when all is said and done, I will haave more into it than its worth, and that troubles me a little bit. I can live with it though. In my other hobby off road 3 wheelers (remember them?) I have 10 of them, some restored, some original unrestored nice ones. Sometimes you get lucky and have less in them than they are worth, and other times not. Its a hobby and hobbies and activities cost money, thats the way it is.

	Dixielegger; I'm the guy who was lucky enough to get your '80. I have e-mailed you trying to keep you up to date on it. Glad you saw the post about it winning at Orlando. I get LOTS of compliments on the boat whenever we have it out. I have been offered more than I paid, but will not sell. I always tell people that I appreciate their compliments, but that I bought the boat in the condition it is in now. I haven't put anything into it execpt oil and gas. Also put on a bimini top for the wife. I LOVE the boat, the looks and the sound and am so glad you sold it to me. Thanks again. Hope you enjoy the '97, I'm sure you will, I had a '98 and liked it quite a bit. But you can never match the classics!....jbear

	jbear, Good to hear from you. Got your email but it was mistakenly deleted (my daughter likes to keep the inbox tidy) and I had no address to send you a reply. Did I mention how much I miss that boat? Email me. Rick

	You can't get any quality Ski boats for cheap. I feel like these old SN's increased in value when the industry started selling $50,000 - $100,000 ski and wakeboard boats. You either go cheap with an older ski boat or pay the really high price even though it seems like cheap is a bit pricy.

	Think of depreciation also. No, owning a boat is not an investment, at least in the usual sense. I bought a 78 American Skier that is still in the restoration stage for 650. Barring any major engine work, I'll have about 1500-1800 into it when it's done. If I use it for 3 years and sell it for what I have into it, I'm out gas money. Buy a 7000 classic and sell it 3 years later for 5000, and you're out 2K + gas. Buy a 50K ski boat, use it for 3 years and you'll realistically sell it for 38K or so. Figure that 12K ding into the cost of boating, and a well taken care of or restored older boat is a bargain. Some won't see it that way, but you don't have to sell it to them.

	wow talk about opening up a can of worms.... the point of the thread was an opinion on where i thought cc fan market prices are its pretty obvious that everyone puts a value on their boat at the point of purchase or sale of course its up to the market, buyers, and sellers to determine final price.. we love cc's for the last 30 years we've always had at least one....the message is clear, let the buyer beware.
