Just had a look at a blue on white hulled Ski with a guess of 800 hours. The trans has been removed, sent to a buddy of mine who has a trans shop and also owns a SNOB. The trans was taken apart and is 100% completely destroyed. We have parts here but the case, everything is wrecked, so not enough to make it whole again. The hull is really nice, No blisters and clean - but needs a good polish. The interior drivers seat and passenger are split. Looks like it has not been covered. The engine looks great as does the cover. The carpet is a bit nasty too. Any ideas or options with this boat (eg suppliers, re-power etc?) Where is a tranny sourced. The current owner wants out of the mess. I could offer something and make it a project. |

About 2200 + 220 shipping west of the Mississippi 139 east from skidim for the newest PCM 80. Figure 250 -300 to reskin a seat. Can’t reme exactly what my skins cost from C&S but that will give you a close idea. You could see what a trans is from fantastic finish marine FFM with no core. Just looked at my old receipt from C&S from a year and a half ago,I was way off- it was 150 per drivers armrest,the rest of my seat was good ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

As mention SkiDim for transmission which is 2200$. It’s typically not worth the time to rebuild the PCM 40. I’m in the process of ordering skins from C&S. Basically each piece of of upholstery is 175, ie seat bottom $175, 1 armrest $175, 1 back is $175. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

Depends on how you look at it - I saw 98 196 with a gt40 and with a bad trans, he never discussed bad engine. If that was the case with all that it would have to be cheap, my 20 year old Mustang was 150.00  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

The engine looks great as does the cover Yes the GT40 is there. What would the boat be worth in current shape? Has a double-the-hassles, dual axle trailer. No top or cover that I could see. I didn't look at the prop but assume it's the stock 4 blade. No Perfect pass or hour meter. |

98 SNOB TSC GT40 Dual axle trailer for some reason should bring in $13+ Average condition, imo. I don’t know why, I’m not a SNOB fan nor the dual axle fan. GT40 was great in 1998, couldn’t give me one today. There’s a group of people wanting this boat bad because it’s a fantastic slalom hull and some people want to tow that open bow with their 9 passenger mini vans because they have two kids. 13,000 boat -3800 for interior -2500 tranny -1000 labor to install -3500 purchase =10,800 invested But being 1998 there’s 98% chance it’s masters green so deduct about $10,800 value. Not gonna make gold flipping it but I could imagine breaking even with it. How many of us would want to know we could sell our boats tomorrow and break even? Edit-Misread. Guess it’s not a snob, take $800 off that interior but still sought after boat bringing in 13k. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

I made an offer for the boat (via text to a friend :) but my other buddy Brody with the SNOB/and trans shop bought for the same cash $3500 Canadian!! Gawd dang! Oh well - I don't need the distraction have plenty to do otherwise. BUT - interesting opportunity now.. My boat has a front seal leak due to the vent-valve-stuck-closed/over-pressure-condition. I lose about a cup a season but it's flipping messy. Brody says it bites to put a new tranny in an old boat - So we could swap with mine. I get a new one and he takes my old tranny and does a rebuild?? Good or stupid idea? I'm thinking $500-100o for my tranny :) in exchange. |
