'83 Barefoot Skier.  France.  I think I may have seen this one before.

'93 Legend

http://springfield.en.craigslist.org/boa/3921340046.html




See Ron's thread on mounting a tower on your boat.  I think he just posted it a few days ago

This one isn't terrible. KTM6s (the dual speaker cans) are decent, older, entry level tower speakers. Looks like the other cans are just regular kicker 6.5s, probably firing down so the driver can get some music as the KTM6s sort of throw the sound out behind the boat. Not how I would have ran things.

The tower mount seems oddly placed. Those towers are designed so that the lower bars follow the windshield more. Why they went outside the hull instead of on top is a mystery to me.


They went outside because on the Legends, there is no real support higher up and these older boats were not designed for the tower.  My 92 Legend top deck is very thin where a tower would normally go.  On that edge, is the thickest glass.

10-4, makes good sense then.

I wonder how the glass is on top of the '86s, lol. I Plan on sticking my front legs on the outside of the hull, and my back legs on top. The boat narrows pretty quick and I want a forward tower mount.  (I have a much simpler tower design coming). It all looks pretty thick on the 86.  I guess at worst I'll have to spam in some plywood and kitty hair on the back leg mounts.

Legend.  Is this what you would call a barn find?

Same exterior color as mine but interior is different.  Would love to have double axle trailer for those long reunion hauls though.  Its the same color as mine.

He dropped the price to $11k. Is that boat worth that much even with the wetsounds stuff?

The Pro80s fetch around $400 to $600 used, the HT4 amp is nothing special...$200-$250 on a good day, I wouldn't pay for an EQ...if you have a decent head unit they are useless in my opinion.  Shafts and couplers normally come as a set, $350-$400 depending on how hard he got robbed, the prop is probably around $500.

My concerns...he rebuilt the motor three years ago? Why not mention the hours on the new motor? Questionable to me. Why replace the prop and drive shaft? I had to replace a drive shaft (it happens), but my prop is OK and there is NO NEED for a gnarly 4 blade on these boats (they don't weigh enough, my 3 blade will dislocate your arms at 75% throttle). Makes me wonder if it hit something and ruined them both. He might be like me and just like to spend money on cool stuff, fair enough, but I'd ask about it.


I'm in this $8000 range if everything is FLAWLESS.

Keep in mind, I think Ron has a completely "Ron Restored" Skier for less money...granted, no stereo or tower, but you know that boat if perfect in every way. The accessories are not that hard to add.
