skiray Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Good News: Found a "perfect" place to build a lake. Not like the pros - in the middle of a field. This place had the right topo, running spring and wind protection at $1500 an acre. Approximately 2100' long. Bad News: Under contract before I could call the agent. Future hunting club. Good News: Went to the Dallas Boat Expo to verify the "awesomeness" of the new Prostar. I was an unbeliever. Too much hype. I was wrong, if it skies as good as it looks, MC has taken it to the next level. Well done. Bad News: Price was $89k. Man, that paid off tug in the barn looked really good when I got home...

Baller MattP Posted February 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted February 2, 2014 @skiray 89k??... That sounds like a mistake. I have been hearing prices tens of thousands less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted February 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2014 I can confirm that you can buy a nicely optioned PS for over $20k cheaper. Well over $20k cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiray Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I expect y'all are both correct. I'm just reporting the price that was on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The mastercraft dealer in Dallas has no desire to sell three event boats. His quote to me was. "If I ever sell another waterski boat again it will be too soon" . we no longer have a promo in the north Texas area. I have discussed this with Arron on at least two occasion. All he wants to sell is wake board boats. Last time I was in the market he would not even give me a price. When I heard he had a pro star I was shocked. It does not surprise me that he is asking over list price for the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwetskier Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 its a boat show -maybe $89k was the ' ' walk away number ' ' - anyone who doesnt immediately walk away warrants lots of extra attention from the booth staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wish Posted February 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2014 Why not offer to build a lake to duck hunt on. Just don't ski that time of year. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiray Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Exactly @Wish Kinda surprised more folks are keying on the MC price over the missed lake opportunity. I know which one hurts me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 @skiray most parts of the country now have a abundance of private lake options. If you were at Dallas boat show, you were within one hour of at least ten private sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skier2788 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My own private lake for 1500 an acre would be hard to swallow being beaten out by hunters. I even hunt. Maybe make a deal to lease in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiray Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 @ntx I live 3 hours from Dallas. Either way, my own lake is a life long dream. @skier2788 the lake doesn't exist yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted February 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2014 Doesn't surprise me that MC can load up a ProStar for 89K, there was one in the Chicago boat show 2 years ago for 77K. @skiray - hope the contract falls through and you get a shot at that land.....

xrated Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 @skiray and then invite the ballers down for a duck hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SkiJay Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 If it eases the pain any @skiray, missing out on the lake land is also sparing you from all the bills and headaches that seem to keep on coming long after the lake is "finished" being built.
