I posted my boat a while ago but have since updated...so here it is.
Paid 8000. Added tower, PP, Ballast, and new prop and now into it for under 11K

Onebadssv 04-25-2016 5:19 PM

Doing great, have you considered having it wet sand and buffed? I bet you could have that paint nearly restored with a day's effort.

jtryon 04-26-2016 7:50 AM

how the hell did you get that 205v for $8K?? what a deal, nice find!

Def looks better with no tower but what are you going to do with all the mounting holes ? I am so on the fence about getting a tower as there is a million reason why I should but in all honesty they look so much better with out them .

Redheadd 04-26-2016 1:01 PM

Maybe just put stainless bolts through them,I dunno. To be honest don't really care about them. I was gonna use the back footing for my rev 10 mount but Bimini ruined that for me. We put so many hours on our boats functionality takes priority over anything else.

What tower is that? That looks exceptionally great on that boat.

Lemonade 04-26-2016 2:27 PM

I was going to ask the same. I have the proflight on my v210 but that would look sharp on a slumped Sanger

Bump. About a month ago I pickup up an '83 Ski Nautique for $4,000. It's my first inboard and I'm loving it so far.

EricU 05-18-2016 2:53 PM

Two Tow boats ago (just like saying that) I had an 01 Moomba Mobius LSV that had low low low hours, a bit faded interior that I picked up for $19k, added a new bimini, some DIY tower speakers and built the enclosure for the W6-12" along with a couple of Kicker amps.

The boat's fit and finish wasn't as nice as an '01 Team Edition Natique that I had previously, but I Loved the way that boat ran and the wake that it threw.

I did add an all new ballast system and a SeaDeck swim step cover, but was still under $25k.

Sorry for the late response I lost track of this thread.

Thanks. It is a Mastercraft ZFT0 tower from a 13 X2. I got it for a great price and had to have it narrowed to fit my boat.

Alright Guys, Here is my Wake Boat Project...It saves when you can do the work!!
 
I purchase this 2003 Gekko Revo 6.7i for $9500 CASH. The interior was rough as it had been sitting outside for 2 yrs. The engine only had 250hrs on it at the time of purchase.

Trailer Had a bad tire!!
http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485208763

And the vision begins
http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485292948

Interior was weathered and torn in many places
http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485208763

As you can see here when I removed everything
http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485208763

The Stereo in my opinion is one of the most important pieces to any build...RF Power 2600watts

http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485292948

I always put my ideas and vision to paper first!!
http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485292948

Putting the wall together.....The look turned out awesome and will match the interior perfect
http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/attac...1&d=1485293583

Built a box for 2 P3 10s to go under the passenger seat stowage area....fits nicely

I'd love for this thread to be revived for the upcoming season. As much as I enjoy watching other people spend tons of cash on newer, expensive boats, I feel like there's something special about seeing these budget boats still on the water. Warm weather can't get here soon enough!

Thanks! When I first got into wakeboarding (1996 or so), I remember a guy in my neighborhood had a 2001 and a brand spanking new Flight 69 board. I was so jealous. I thought we might feel a little cramped in this boat but we really don't. Despite a few issues (worn out distributor, carburetor rebuild, riser leak), it has been totally worth it. It's so easy to work on, and the community of people who have expertise and sell parts for older Correct Crafts is amazing.

Love this thread!!!

Picked up this 01 Calabria Pro V one year ago for $12,500 with right at 500 hrs.
I added a sub and 3 amps with lights front and rear and underwater lights. Has the factory ballast as well which is nice. Boat before this was a Ski Brendella and my dad had an older Calabria direct drive so I had to drive 10 hours one way for this guy. Absolutely love this boat. Plus I have had 15 people in it with no problem which is a plus. Plan on tinting window and doing different tower speakers this year.

Powerstroke Duramax Cummins they all have there issues . I just got hosed on a second set of injectors on my Duramax . I was just about to pull the trigger on a built transmission when they crapped out on me. Injectors was still about 65k dollars cheaper then a new truck .lol

Here is my 2001 Sky Supreme. I drove out to southern Oregon to pick this up. I really wanted a V drive but they were a little out of my range at the time. I should've have bought in May but oh well. I had a ton of fun with it over the summer.

You pick that up in Klamath falls? I feel I saw that boat there

Mazdarx 02-08-2018 2:50 PM

Actually yeah I did get it from there. I wouldn't say I necessarily got it for cheaper than I could've bought something a little more local, but there was nothing I liked locally. Plus going to pick it up was a fun adventure, and now that I have it here it's probably the only one like it in western Canada.

I know exactly what street that was on too. Drove by it all the time. I always thought that was a sweet boat. Its fun being different

Mazdarx 02-09-2018 7:23 AM

It's been a great boat for me, and I'll be sad to sell it. But it's looking very likely that I'll be picking up a 2007 Centurion Avalanche as a project, there's a separate thread going about that boat. So I'll be happy to have such a nice boat with all of the features that come with it.

If you are shopping for a cost effective ride, got my '04 Centurion with extra ballast, PP for just under $25K.

So what's the cost effective threshold these days? Below 100k? [emoji1787]

Im back!! Trolled the 2021 Boat thread as this thing is showroom quality. 476 hrs and all stock original. Thiught Id be in G23 or Ri or Fi but with only 2 months to surf couldnt justify monthly payments for it to look pretty in someones shop.
