'85 with a very displaced tower...

WTF?

No wonder people hate wake boarders. I'm mad at myself for this atrocity.

Here's one with a good looking tower:

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.

Damn....you're good lol Thats mine. I'm from southwestern kansas and bought the boat from my cousin after he hit a sand bar, and then winterized it improperly so it cracked the block. And yes, I do like spending my money on cool stuff.....

Haha, I'm not that good, but I just went through (still at it technically) the whole process of buying one and fixing the previous owners issues. It's a good looking boat, and I hope you didn't take offense, was just being honest with my opinions.

I learned the hard way selling my last boat, anything you do to it outside of restoration and maintenance is real tough to re-coup financially. I maybe broke even on my last one...and that's taking into account the stuff I added new being used at the time I sold it. Hell, you're better off taking the stereo and adding it to your new boat unless you find a guy who want's exactly what you've already done.

I'm in Kansas too, probably heading up to Wilson or Cedar Bluff tomorrow if everything goes well. Where did he find the sand bar? I know there is a nasty one at Horse Thief by Jetmore and another at the west end of Cedar Bluff.

Are you replacing the boat with another? Unless it's a nice new Mastercraft or something I bet you'll end up missing it.

I thought it was hilarious! Where are you from? I'm originally from dodge and it was at the sandpit there that used to be a private lake but dried up a couple years ago. I'm in Manhattan now, 7 minutes from tuttle. Its hard to beat!

And if I sold it for 8 with the stereo stuff I would still make about a grand so that'd be fine. If i can sell it I'd like to get something a little more wakeboard/wakesurf specific, but yes, the American Skier will be missed. I'm thinking about putting an american flag wrap of some kind with the original lettering still on it!

Dodge, no s*#t! I'm in Cimarron. I know the sand pits you speak of, watched more than a couple jet skit's meet there end in that puddle, lol. Can't believe someone put a boat on it! Granted...they have been drying up since I moved here, I bet back in the day there was more water.

I wanted a more wake board specific boat as well, but I'm bound and determined to do the best with what I have.  Have you tried tossing in a few fat sacks? I had 500 lbs of people in the back of mine a few weeks ago....the surf was pretty impressive!

Anyways, good luck with your sale! You might make a few bucks!

I have and almost sank the boat. After riding behind an A22 with plug and play, wedge down, and 10 people on board I don't think the Skier's wake will ever suffice, or I'll sink the boat getting it there!

Yea...that's a legit setup right there. No argument from me, lol. Although, the American Flag wrap would be sick.
