Members The_MS Posted January 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Would you rather have a 2008 or 2009 196 for 34K or a 2010 LXI for 42K? http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?topic=Search&category=Comp_Boat&postid=22167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted January 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 24, 2013 No complaints...I'm a pretty fortunate guy. Great family, job, home. Have a boat and people to ski with; it could get a little better(cooler boat, warmer weather), but not much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think the 34k price tag for a 08/09 is very inflated. I will know soon since we have one we are looking to move soon. I would be happy with 25k (no trailer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The_MS Posted January 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 @ntx How many hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 @MS Can't say for sure since I have not been in the boat since mid Oct........... but my guess is that is about 950 +/- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The_MS Posted January 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 You are in the range. Inflated is when you get into a new boat over 50k. You will see low hour 196s continue to hold value well as long as the new boats keep going well over 50k. Like Razor and 6balls, running them to 2000 hours is much better then buying a new boat. I still think the best deal out there is a 2002 196 with the Excalibur engine that you can upgrade to ZO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swc5150 Posted July 31, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 31, 2020 Won't be long and a brand new Prostar will be cheaper than a 196;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edmund Posted July 31, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 31, 2020 @swc5150 Let's hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller vtjc Posted July 31, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 31, 2020 @LeonL my 08 Limited 196 has the classic graphics as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntx Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 @LeonL in both 2008 & 2009 you had a choice of graphic option. We had one in each year and we went with what was called "classic" which is like the photo above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted August 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 1, 2020 So it looks like Nautiques holds their value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rockdog Posted August 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 1, 2020 Aahh that rego number, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted August 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted August 1, 2020 @LeonL our 2007 has the same graphics package as pictured. I like my platform modification with SeaDek better than a stock one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
