This 92 Ski local on Craigslist... https://charlotte.craigslist.org/boa/d/fort-mill-1992-ski-nautique-with-extras/6844067548.html" rel="nofollow - link I could get it for $8000. It has what looks to be a FCT tower (or a new dimensions). Same beam width as my 93 sport nautique, so I think it would fit. The boat looks a bit rough on the interior, and high hours, but if it runs and has a nice trailer I would think it should be easy to sell at $7k or so, no? This is a bad idea isn't it. ------------- 1993 Sport Nautique PCM 351w, no ProTec |

Interior condition and boat price are not aligned. That’s a $3500 item and he’s smack dab in the middle of market pricing (maybe a bit towards the high side). He needs to be at the low end to account for that interior. It would be much more attractive at 4-6k. I have noticed that boat pricing in the Charlotte area is on the high side the last few years. Great place to sell but not to buy! |

Great insight thanks! That makes sense considering my 93 sport in excellent shape was only a little more. I'm going to try and see it anyway, maybe I can convince him to sell me the tower on its own. The boat has been on the market for at least a year. ------------- 1993 Sport Nautique PCM 351w, no ProTec |

| Hard to tell from the pics but is that a C channel galvanized trailer? |

| Do you think that would fit? I would guess the Sport and Ski have different beams. I know a tower can bend, but if I were adding a tower it's really nice to have an exact fit. |

Looks like 7K to me , trailer looks just like the trailer I have but with different fenders and tailights are wrong. It would be alot of work to rob the tower off there. , No one in their right mind would want to leave those holes. The closer you get to Lake Wylie or Norman the higher the price. ------------- 1989 ski nautique ,1991 barefoot nautique, 1993 Mustang Cobra 1998 5.0 Magazine shootout invitee |

Both boats have a 91" beam so... I think so? Not totally sure. ------------- 1993 Sport Nautique PCM 351w, no ProTec |

That tower has bends in the legs. It will not fit you boat. It has been modified. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique SOLD Back to Cypress Gardens 2002 Sport Nautique, GT-40, FCT2, Cover Sports, Tower Bimini, Inc., Wet Sounds Audio System, Star Gazer Wake Edition S. 1968 Ski Nautique, Holman Moody |

Interesting, how can you tell? If we have the same beam it should still fit no? ------------- 1993 Sport Nautique PCM 351w, no ProTec |

I have a FCT2 and I have a Sport Nautique. I can see that this tower would not fit my boat since the legs are bent inward.
