My buddy bought it... it will be a trailer boat, but hopefully it will be up at Tyler semi-regularly.

What year is this SN? http://kentucky.sportingshopper.com/sporting-goods/ski-nautique.html

84-85

I just saw all of the pictures, looks like an 85

*Darn phone and fat fingers..Its an '85 judging by the interior stripes.

Tim, Did Reid buy the orange Skier to match "Orange Crush" ?

Larry, I had no I had no idea Reid sold the orange crush to Tim's dad ! That is cool it is in good hands, Reid lives about 35 miles from me I am on Lake Wylie near Charlotte and he is on Lake Norman. We don't get to hang out too much the past few years. I have two small girls 5 and 1 and a son that is due on or around June 6th. I have been slowly working on some of my boats but spending most of my time at work in the composites industry working with boat builders and my family.

the owner cannot verify if it was not used in salt water for the past 4 years.

Apart from the steering wheel I'm digging this '85. Is it me or doesn't it say the price?

What was the asking price on this?

and if you don't mind selling price?

I'm curious, boat is beautiful, wondering if restoring mine is worth it lol.

wow, really cool shot...now you need one of them running together!

Ha, both boats are awesome, but the "fast one" is most definitely on the right! The Skier runs very strong though- clocked over 47mph on the GPS, so about 2mph faster than my Inca Gold '71. I think it'll be getting even faster over the winter, too.

Turningpoint, as the boat isnt mine, its not really my place to discuss purchase details... but Im sure many here would be happy to give you advice on what your boat would be worth. I can tell you with no uncertainty that doing any kind of major restoration work on one of these boats is a labor of love... if you are VERY good, you can break even on the expenses when it comes time to sell (donating all of your labor, obviously). More often than not though, you come out behind by a good margin.

Adam, wish I had thought to get some pictures of both boats at speed! I only snapped a few of the Skier:



The cool factor of the boats surely outweighs my (very) marginal photography skills, but I like that picture of the 2 boats together a lot! Im pretty lucky to have access to both boats.
