Justin..
Is this 2004 X2 the same hull as the 2000 Xstar?

Is that X2 a friggin scam. The buy now is 23k. How has no one bought it yet?

Yes its the same hull. Its actually the same hull as your 205 as well.

At first I thought it was a scam as well, but it appears that some auto network has it. There is a # at the bottom to call. I would suggest calling it to find out. That could be a steal depending on the amount of hours.

The boat looks like it is carbureted not MPI and it has 506hrs and needs some upholstery work. I don't think it's a smoking deal and a bit of a gamble.

Seems like a pretty darn good deal to me.

It is not carbuerated. MC hasn't made a carb boat since 93. It is just a throttle body injected engine. 310hp. I could only see one piece of vinyl that needed to be replaced. A couple hundred buck probably. Hours are high but not for that price. A 2004 X2 with the options that boat has and 200 hours is worth close to 40k in Seattle. I wish I had my boat sold because I would buy it in a heartbeat at that price.

For that price, I'd be willing to replace that front piece. Other than that, the boat looks clean. I was told by the local dealer that they look for about 125 hrs. usage per year before they devalue the boat in that way, so I wouldn't worry about that.

I just talked with the people selling it. They bought it as a repo from Modesto Cali. They said it had a inspection done and the engine and transimssion work great he said and it has good compression. The only piece of vinyl that is screwed up is that front cushion. Most of the stereo works great but the front 2 speakers don't work. I couldn't tell from the pics but it looks to have one sub in a box in the observers storage area. The pic of the crossover is the driver foot well. I can't tell but is that kick panel stock or could that be another sub?

That boat is a smoking deal.

wow if that x2 is really in the condition it looks, that would be a great deal, but i'm looking toward upgrading next may-june.

i'll keep my eyes open.



can anyone post some pics of SAN wakes?
How does their quality compare to MasterCraft?

Pics of our 1995 Supersport 210 (same as the SAN hull)
You could look into these... we paid 18k for the boat and it had 300 hrs, perfect condition, then with tower, ballast, stereo = 21K~ and it is one of the best wakes out there.


lots of bow weight mellows out the wake

even weight/rear weigh makes it Steeeeeep

wow Nick that wake is amazing!


what is your ballast setup?
do you every dunk the bow?

The bow has gone under maybe once from surfing, when we cross the rollers to get a someone who has fallen, but other than that, no.

The firt and last picture the ballast is
Front = 700 lbs
Rear = 800 lbs total = 1500 lbs
2 people in boat

Mid picture:
front 600~ lbs
rear 900~ lbs
mid = 300 lbs total = 1800lbs
2 in boat

it doesnt take much in the 210

here are a few more i found that show the wake fairly well

***
If you go 210 the older aren't better but I like full wrap seating more than the statium seating.

but then again thats just me

if i were to get a SAN 210 i'd get a 2000-2003.

those are my favorite models, and i may be able to find one in my price range.

you ought to be able to pick out a real nice one in the 28-30k range. Don't be afraid to make an offer. All they can do is say no.

there is an 03 SAN in FL listed on my site for 28k, pretty good list price.
