Want To Buy 77-79 SN

Hello All:

I thought I had a done deal to purchase a '79 Ski Nautique that was listed here, then the seller flaked out on me.

Since then, I have attempted contact with three other sellers in the For Sale section via this site's links. No replies after two weeks.

I'm not sure if the email forwarding from Correctcraftfan.com is causing anti-spam software to dump my emails or if there is some other problem.

If anyone has a '77-'79 SN in decent shape and is serious about selling, please call me. I can be reached at 615-293-6661 (cell). If I don't answer, please leave a message.

I'd prefer a boat within a day's drive from Nashville, TN, but I'm flexible.

Thanks for your help.

Chris,
I emailed you about your boat a few days ago and didn't get a response. Maybe the messages aren't being linked correctly....

Drop me an email

I tried your e-mail address above and it didn't go through try e-mailing me again

scott8370; Didn't you sat you were planning a trip to your bro's in the Tampa area? If so, ya got an invite over here to Lake Wales. We will get something going for the Orlando reunion, at least a banner or some other way to mark an area where ww all can meet up. Been to Cumberland many years ago. Was nice. Been going to Norris for 30 years now. Gotta love those big smooth clean TVA lakes......john

I have a '77 Martinique for sale. Same hull as SN, just no tracking fins (skegs?). Boat is in physically good condition with a few gelcoat imperfections due to age NOT damage or abuse.

Jim,
I do agree.. Many emails I have sent to sellers on this site seemingy do not make it to there destinations (since I rarely ever get them returned). Keith, maybe you can help us to understand how these work..

In the meantime, if there is a way for many of you sellers to post phone numbers in you ads, I thinkit may help your cause and connect us with you..

82Tique:

No, but I did talk with a guy at their booth - I think his name was Steve - nice guy. He said Ski Hut is no longer selling Moombas because the manufacturer wants them to carry the whole line of Supras and Moombas, or nothing at all. They were displaying Tige' boats at their booths. They had the best ski/wakeboard booths at the show, hands down.

I bought mine from Alabama Watersports. They're just across the state line.

Strangely, I received a requested brochure from the Moomba manufacturer in the mail today and they still listed Ski Hut as the local rep.

I should probably clarify - I bought a new '05 Mobius LSV, not the '06. It has about 12 demo hours on it. I was told that the '05 Mobius and the '06 Outback are essentially the same boat. I think Ski Hut has the same boat I bought in their current inventory (it's on they're site at skihut.com), but I was a little antsy about buying from them if they're no longer a dealer.

I've been looking at forums, and the consensus is that the '06 Mobius is superior to the '05. The negative comments about the '05 are based mainly on the way it sits. Saw no complaints anywhere about performance or build quality.

Regardless, what a deal! With the same equipment, the '06 Outback LSV retails for about 10k more than I paid.

Still kinda wish I could have hooked a Nautique -- maybe someday. For now, I'm pretty pleased, though. Can't wait for spring.
