I’m thinking of selling my 2000 Sport.    GT 40, tower, ballast tanks, tandem axel trailer, etc. let me know if you are interested. It’s on Mousam lake in Shapleigh, ME if you want to google map the distance. I told the boat storage people if I were to sell it would be $16,500.

This one should have some room for negotiation because it needs vinyl. Also don't love the tower, but that's a personal preference, I guess.

I'll say. 4 seat bottom cushions and the storage box cover, and you're good to go. Nice low-hour upstate NY boat. Oh, and the tower comes off Stepper

Several Sports have been popping up with factory ballast.
I looked at the brochure and can see where the water enters but how do they fill and then how do they empty. Pumps???

Mine was already removed when I got the boat, but I went on a test drive on a '99 Sport with ballast. It fills by opening a fill valve and driving slowly forward. It empties by gravity, I think slightly faster if you are moving forward. My sense is that most people have removed the factory ballast as it's only 50 gallons=400 lbs. I like having the trunk space with it removed, and have used a pair of 400 lb. ballast bags on each side of the doghouse when wakeboarding. Maybe it would be nice to have in addition to ballast beside the motor, I'm not sure what would work best.

Thanks David
I'm guessing they're not hard to remove, I think I would want the extra space right now and add sack's and reinstall them if I want later.

The hard tanks are a huge waste of space. You'll have to trim out some of the trunk after taking them out but it's easy.

The ballast on the early boats was not that great. There is a pump, but they are kind of slow. The biggest issue is that the water comes in and out through the same spot at the bottom of boat/tank. I think it was 2002, or 2003 when they installed separate intake and expunge pumps with the water going out the side like a bildge pump.

The ballast does work, just not great.

Most people who really want to weight the boat down have removed the tanks and use bags. The factory ballast is not very heavy, and takes up a lot of space when using, or not. I've got a couple of friends who never used the ballast anyway, so they just removed for more storage space.

My '99 had the pump-style system. Exit ports were starboard side, aft.

Paul with the tanks removed the rear locker is huge as the fuel tank is under and behind the rear seat. You can even get clear access to the rudder from the rear locker. No point in saving those tanks just get the sawzall out. (weird US name reciprocating saw down under )
If you're going through hell, keep going

Mark,
I think you Aussies do have one up on our Sawsalls. How about the chain saw with a 253 Holden V8??

Isn't using the term sawsall much like calling a tissue a Kleenex? It's a brand name that has come to mean the item. Mark does the term napkin still mean to you something other than a cloth or paper used to wipe your hands or face while eating?

Name difference because they reciprocate in the opposite direction down under.

Ok back on track here.
Can they be removed without destroying them so they could be reinstalled later when Pete wants to buy it, since it would have to be original!!!

Normally, unless ordered differently, the Sports do not have the factory hard tanks. The Air Nautiques do have the factory hard tanks. Some Air Nautiques have a small belly tank for trick skiing. Some boats were ordered with different decals ( Air , Not Air) as per the owners preface.

Yes the tanks can come out in 1 piece. They do not need to be destroyed.

Agreed. But many do not have the patience, so they cut them out.

Sounds like a great idea. But, I've never heard of anyone putting the orginal tanks back in.

Not a lot of pictures but the price seems pretty for a 206.

206

Sorry I think the price is adjusted because it doesn't have a trailer.
