Unfortunately the boat is a dog. The dealer that has it for sale decided he would lie about the condition of the bottom, and when we went to look at the boat, after a 3hr. drive from the lake, we found that the boat had been bottom painted with anti-fouling. Ran away from that as fast as we could. So the search continues...anyone in the Michigan area want to sell their boat this weekend??

Sorry to hear that!!!   Fortunately, there are quite a few AM Skiers for sale.   How many are near Michigan is another story...  Keep looking - you'll find her!!    ;D

Hey MIskier, check out my favorite link:  http://boat.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/boat.cgi then type American Skier then go.  Looks like there are a few boats in your area.  An 88 Advance in what looks like great shape and 97 Lazer.

MIskier
I was on Gun Lake (Shelbyville, MI) this weekend and saw a ?88 advance for sale.  It looked pretty clean and was on a American Skier trailer also very clean.  I didn't dig into it too deep, but it did look like the owner took care of it.  Remember it said 601 or so hours, but I don't have the phone number with me.  I think they wanted $6500 for it.  If it is close to your range, let me know and I can find the number (I was considering it myself).  I will also look on jaxed to see if its listed there.

Well I found a beautiful Ski Nautique with under 400 hours on it and just couldnt let the deal go. Yeah I had called on the boat in gun lake, they will actually take 6K for the boat. Black boats on the lake that we live on just dont do well because of the mineral content in the water.

My wife's family lives on Lake Shannon near Fenton, MI.  They have mineral issues as well as weed issues (lake is too damn shallow, but makes for great skiing).

As I frequently call my brother who owns a Nautique....  now your a "Nautique Geek"...  LOL!!!   Seriously, your still welcome here!!!  Boats are boats...  and people who are dumb enough to own a boat are all welcome to congregate on this site   ;D

Hope your new boat is a beauty!!  Be sure to post some pics!

Well here is the boat that I ended up buying, sorry it took so long to post pictures of it. It is a 1986 2001 that was sold on consignment for the original owner. I'm very happy with my purchase...but would have really liked to have been able to find a nice American Skier.
