Looking for 2005-2008 SN 196 - I keep an eye on all the mainstream websites (ski it again, boat trader, only inboards, ebay etc...) but would like to throw it out there in case any CCF member might personally know someone that would consider parting ways with one.
Ideally would want low hours, excellent interior / exterior, good maintenance history, good cover, good trailer. Wife would be "more accepting of the purchase" if I could find one with some yellow color on / in it. Please PM me or feel free to text @260-494-8491 if you have any leads.
Thanks,
SRB

no yellow on this one, but for the price, I am sure you could add some :)

Scam for sure - That boat is at Huston Motors / Mastercraft in Lake Wales FL. I have spoken to them about it and bid it up on eBay to a bit over 21K.
Scammers are everywhere...…….unfortunately!
Thanks to all for keeping an eye out for me!

Call Nick at Performance Marine in DeSoto Iowa. They have a yellow tsc (04 or 05) in on consignment.

Chris,
Great lead...…..Thanks!!
I talked to Nick early a.m. today and we solidified the deal. He was great to deal with......was very honest and gave me every detail I needed. He said you knew the boat (live on the same lake it was on). and could attest that it is a legit good / clean boat.
I am picking the boat up next Saturday......pretty fired up!
Thanks again...…….I really appreciate the lead.
BTW - I told Nick that someone from the CCF site gave me his Name / lead on the boat...…...he guessed it was you without hesitation.

What a great story/ending. That is CCF at its best. Congrats on the new boat. Sounds like it was exactly what you were looking for.

Yes, CCF at its best indeed! The Internet can be a good things too at times.....sometimes that gets lost in this day and age we live in!
As for pics, I will get some posted sometime after I get it and get back home settled next weekend...………..I figured that request would be coming sometime down the road.

When you first posted I thought yea right good luck. But here you are 5 days later-done and done! Not like that guy looking for 4+ months and 5 thread pages for Mike and Sandy's Sport that has never pulled a tube I think Chris has a future job as a boat headhunter.
Good luck and have a safe trip!
