I have a 1990 sport nauty and I believe that it is the same boat that your checking out. I've been really happy w/ it so far and it's been great. Currently I'm running 2 500ish lb. sacks on either side of the engine and it still handles and planes like w/ no problem. If you can snag that one for $11k w/ a tower and all the extras w/ a strong engine then I'd say you'd be getting a great deal! I think that you could turn around and make a few $k on it during the summer if you didn't like it for some reason?
Here are the few things I wish I could change so you know the less than optimal attributes:
The molded in swim platform makes it easy to take water over the back if not driven correctly. You'll take a bit of water over every once in a while if you get lazy but no biggie. It is really sturdy though and I like that. It also makes it longer as you can't take it off to get it in a garage.
The observer seat is a captains chair just like the driver's side, but it does spin around. I'd prefer it to have the traditional bench style so you could have the extra storage out of the way. I may change this over on mine...but you can put stuff up in the same area anyway..it's just not completely out of the way. This option could be a plus for some people though?
I wish it had a bigger gas tank. 25gal and loaded doesn't let you go out all day. I carry extra gas in big jugs in my truck so I just cruise into the dock and refill if necessary..so no big deal.
Here a pic:
Bryce's above is also very sharp w/ the new gel coat.
In the links Peter gave there are some good comments by some very good riders... (like Peter and Matt) so you know the wake is up to par. I'm just happy to be out there!
What is this slapaho and sticker reference about?
