Administrators Horton Posted December 31, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2022 Ok I am not sure it is sudden but if you looked at SIA 6 months ago it was slim pickings. Now there are a lot of current model boats. https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&sorton=7 Also you may note there is a SIA boat link in the main menu.

Administrators Horton Posted December 31, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2022 There are 45 posts from the Dec 29th. Not sure if those are really new posts or refreshed listings. Anyway there are boats out there again and prices might be down a tiny bit from the peak.

Baller S1Pitts Posted December 31, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 31, 2022 The Dec 29th posts must be reposts as I have several of them bookmarked from last month. This is my frontrunner if I was updating from my 97 BB. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BL_Skier Posted December 31, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 31, 2022 I’ve been tracking the direct drive market pretty religiously the past 2 years. I know it’s winter but inventory has drastically increased the past 3-4 months. It will be interesting to see what happens with prices come spring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted December 31, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted December 31, 2022 @S1Pitts, I believe that boat is actually a Ball Of Spray official boat. I've skied it and driven back several years ago and liked it. I know the owners and believe it to be well cared for. In fact, I think they were promo boat drivers for Centurion at one point. 2 The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 1, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2023 @S1PittsI do not think that was one of mine but I for sure had a few that looked a lot like. Was sad to see those off the market.

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 1, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted January 1, 2023 @Shell and @RAWSki, is that CarbonPro of yours on Ski-It-Again the former Ball Of Spray boat? The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller chaloux Posted January 1, 2023 Baller Share Posted January 1, 2023 I noticed this trend as well. When I bought my boat in the spring of '21 there was nothing. I think there were 20 something listings on SIA. There has been over 100 for several months now, and I haven't seen it dip below 140 for a few months. Prices are moving, but slowly. Still not quite at the right place for '21+ Prostars for me, but most of those boats are essentially new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted January 1, 2023 Baller Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) I have been waiting for a build slot for two years (I threw my name on the list and have an order number and good relationship with my dealer but I still don't have a build slot). I'd like to flip my boat if it makes sense before the hours climb too much but I want to see what the Delta is on the trade. My current boat is pretty dialed in so no worries either way.

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 1, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted January 1, 2023 @Horton, per a text I received today, that CarbonPro listed on SIA is your BOS boat. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MitchellM Posted January 3, 2023 Baller Share Posted January 3, 2023 Some nice Prostars on onlyinboards. Prices are finally returning to earth. It also helps that it's winter and several of those nice boats are in cold storage right now waiting for a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swc5150 Posted January 4, 2023 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2023 Boats inventories rising, cars not hitting reserves on sites like Bring A Trailer, and houses sitting on the market.

I know of a 2023 at a dealership that had the deal fall through. You could have a factory, brand new, one in your driveway tomorrow, but it’s gonna cost you an extra $60 G’s.

Baller riplash Posted January 19, 2023 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hey Wish, I don't know whether to thank you or cuss at you. That boat is exactly what I am looking for at the moment, but I have so much stuff on my plate right now and I am trying to pay off a ton of crap so I can have time and money be a better waterskier. I keep debating about if I should go down there and look at it. I think I will try to go down there and look at it this weekend unless some other sucker buys it before then. Is that one of Chip DeBus's old boats? Cheers Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller riplash Posted January 26, 2023 Baller Share Posted January 26, 2023 No that wasn't me.

Baller epnault Posted April 7, 2023 Baller Share Posted April 7, 2023 @swc5150 for some reason (boat geek) every day I look for MasterCrafts and Ski Nautiques for sale even though I have a boat I am happy with. I saw this one the same day as you and since it was so close to my house instantly asked 3 things. What engine does the boat have? Where is the boat located (city)? What is your number? I got this response yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
