dhofert Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Found a Barefoot 190 in the area and was wondering how it was to slalom behind. An engine rebuild is no problem for us just looking for a ballpark worth and how it skis. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MISkier Posted October 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2018 If it has the Tristar hull, you won't like it. I tried to access the link you listed, but it didn't work for me. Any pictures? Quote The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhofert Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Sorry, fixed the link. Would it be better than our 4winns? At least a step in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted October 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2018 There is a barefoot 190 which is a tristar inboard and I would avoid. And a barefoot 200 outboard which is a prostar elongated with an outboard and is a fun boat. I would buy a prostar 205 dd and be done w it.

dhofert Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Avoid it I will. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted October 30, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 30, 2018 You should test drive it for the heck of it. Theyre not bad boats... but arent ski boats. Running that 454 will burn the gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MISkier Posted October 30, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 30, 2018 @BraceMaker, the link says the engine is blown. No test drive. Quote The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robmollysilverlake Posted October 30, 2018 Members Share Posted October 30, 2018 @dhofert not sure if this boat is still available, but he's on BOS and might be worth a look 1984 Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhofert Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I will see what the other guy says. Im not able to go in on my own and I am really trying to push a ski boat on him. Problem is it pretty much only benefits me since he does not ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted October 30, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just about anything will be better than a Four Winns Horizon 190 for skiing, but that thing rides like a Cadillac. There's not a ski boat on earth that will have the ride that thing does on chop. My dad bought one of those back when I was 6 years old and sold it to my uncle, who still has it. Does many things well but skiing is not one of them. Sounds like you might want to work on broadening your circle of friends if you're the only skier. Shouldn't be too hard to do in Michigan I'd imagine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
