As some on here know I've been kicking around getting a Sport as there's just not enough room in the Ski now that the kids are bigger and want to start bringing friends along.
Well it's time to make it happen so if anyone knows of a '99 era sport for sale let me know. In the mean time my wife has told me that I can't have 3 boats so the '95 Signature Edition is for sale now. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forsale/details.asp?ID=9793 More pictures to follow now that Kostas showed me how to post from my Ipad. |

Thanks guys but let me narrow it down a little more...
Has to be at least a '99 because of the walk through (don't want the playpen front) Has to be a direct drive, don't care for the rear pushers to much. Would like to still have a decent ski wake (ski type hull) and would like to stay under 18,000 That's why I think the '99 or early 2000 era I found one southwest of Detroit that may fit the bill if anyone is in that area could take a peak see |

I can see Paul jumping on that first one with aforementioned tube storage and all, but with out a GT 40 it would be a tough sell. Second one won’t happen either even though it looks like a nice one if you want a v drive

Gary I was surprised that after you had spent some time on the lake with Quinner and his tool box you opted for the rear pusher.

Paul:
There's a '98 Ski (Masters Green/Zephyr) on Norris Lake (friend of AirTique- Bill). It's like the one in the diaries - no walk-through Ski. I've seen pics and it looks great. Bill has seen the boat and gives the boat and the owner a thumbs up. Around $14,000, IIRC. |

Lol.
A 98 ski has as much room as a 95 ski |

Paul, how far sw of Detroit? I’m at our lake house this week outside of Brooklyn, Mi. and Mich.igan Speedway. About 90 miles pretty much straight west of Detroit. I’d consider a 20-30 mile road trip. It’s work on house week (vacation time) so can’t roam to far.

Thanks for the offer but it looks to be over an hour away from you Flatrock Mi. Looks to be more south of Detroit and south east of Ann Arbor https://www.google.com/maps/place/Flat+Rock,+MI/@42.0361685,-83.5687012,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x883b40c0914a078d:0xa657e19d4feb15b0!8m2!3d42.0964314!4d-83.2918744 |

Yeah, Flatrock is easy 65-70 miles from here. Would be closer from home (Toledo) but won’t be back till next week. Maybe I could go take a look after work one day next week if your still interested in it.

Paul if you've ruled out '98's I understand, just wanted to say that after years of use I don't find the playpen to be an issue in mine. Adults don't usually sit up there, and kids like the lean back and stretch out of the playpen. Definitely more walking over cushions to get to the bow than if you had the walk-thru, but not an issue for me.

Damn that is just across the river from me maybe 30 minutes.
I’m sure its nice but I think that year is going to be above my price range. From what I’m seeing these Sport owners must think there’s gold in these things. |

We have a 2000 that we leave the bow center cushion in almost 24/7 for the kids. The bow isn't really deep enough anyway for leg room, not to mention that large so I wouldn't rule out a playpen either...
If we had a comparable V-drive on the line we'd sell you ours |

Paul my favourite part of the playpen was capturing this picture of my old mate Anakin enjoying time on the water together :)
One other pro is that you are able to slide small ski's up under the floor of the playpen |

Go ride in a 98 before disregarding it. It really isn't any worse, just different. The raised hard floor of the bow makes for good underneath storage.

Yes, I should have mentioned the storage too. Huge. I've had a pair of wide tandem skis plus my Flightpipe under there. |
