We'll see what happens.
Comprehensive claim, not collision. That can make a difference. |

Well, I know you will not get your 25% discount for having no claims...
Need pictures of your repairs! |

The Supra sold in a week.
Buyer came from Spokane. Had 2 back ups, one of which pursued the buyer to make an offer. The entry level ski boat market is hot. Here is the damaged side cleaned up.  Wife and I came up with a small list of replacement candidates. Had to be open bow, composite construction and fuel injected. List consisted of MC Prostar 205, Sport Nautique, and another Sunsport. Had to be excellent condition, low hours, known history, etc. I was willing to travel 500 miles for a nice boat. Found this Sport I really liked. It was priced pretty high, but only had 189 hours and was being sold by the original owner. Ended up being to far away.  Then found this 1996 Prostar 205 out of McCall, ID. Second owner since 2009, 360 hours, all records, stored inside, etc. Seller had not planned to sell but came across a '00 205 with 120 hours he could not pass up. We met him at Payette Lake, ID. Had a successful inspection and water test and made the deal. We had 3 205s on the water at one point. This one, his new one and his law partners '00 he had bought new. Ended up staying there for the long weekend. Wife had a college friend that was there as well. Spend Sunday on Payette Lake. Really pretty area. Towed 480 miles home with no issues. Hoping nice weather holds through September.    |

Sounds like things are going your way. Easy sale, great new purchase/boat, coupled with a great weekend on the water.... What do they say? Every set back is a new opportunity, or something like that. Enjoy the rest of your summer with the new tug.

Nice find. I think the one that was too far away from you is fairly close to me.

LOL I did. We don't have enough boating experience to have strong brand loyalty.
It seems any forum you go to thinks their brand is the best. Had many discussions with friends who are life long boaters. Most felt all the brands have their pluses and minuses. They felt we couldn't go wrong with any of the boats on our list. Sport Nautique Prostar 205 Malibu Sunsetter LXi There aren't many of these boat around here. So lots of shopping and test driving were out. We limited our search circle to 500 miles and decided to let condition and confidence in the seller guide us. I think we did well. The seller is OCD, they kind of person you want to buy a boat or car from. After a little clean up at home the boat is really in excellent condition. The little bit we've used it the boat feels very solid. I hope it holds up well. The MC forum is pretty good. Not like here though. I'm much more interested in restoration, maintenance and preservation than discussing new boat features. So I'll stick around here. I'll be the only guy wearing a CC shirt on a MC.

But Poorhouse, those other forum guys are wrong. Nautique is the best!
Glad you found a boat you like that fits your needs. I do all my own repairs on my equipment and the Correct Crafts I have worked on always show quality in each and every detail. That is what brought me back into the fold. Our Ski group has a Malibu, a Supra, a Mastercraft a Nautique and a Jet boat. I have turned wrenches on all of them. Nautiques are pretty well sorted out although the other boats all had features I liked. |

That is the type of experience I don't have. Although reading things like that had me gravitate toward CC and MC.
Great first outing on our local lake. Had some of the best ski runs of my life. Although I did manage to end up on my butt on a hard wake crossing. Suit ended up around my armpits - uncomfortable.
