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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BL_Skier Posted December 31, 2022 Members 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 Quote 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 Quote 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 Author Administrators Share Posted January 1 @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 Baller Share Posted January 1 @Shell and @RAWSki, is that CarbonPro of yours on Ski-It-Again the former Ball Of Spray boat? Quote 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 Baller Share Posted January 1 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted January 1 Baller Share Posted January 1 (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 Baller Share Posted January 1 @Horton, per a text I received today, that CarbonPro listed on SIA is your BOS boat. Quote The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rico Posted January 3 Baller Share Posted January 3 (edited) Just sold a 21 Prostar. there were 1 or 2 for sale in June / July and I can now see 20 Prostar (21-22) for sale on ski-it-again. The used price went down about 10k. Edited January 3 by rico 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised it is still for sale but as you noticed, there appears to be 'more boats than buyers' at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MitchellM Posted January 3 Baller Share Posted January 3 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 3 Author Administrators Share Posted January 3 @MitchellMOnlyInBoards sort of pisses me off. The will take any listing and I know for a fact that skiers have been scammed by listings there. I reported scam listings to them repeatedly in the past that they just ignored me.

Baller swc5150 Posted January 4 Baller Share Posted January 4 Boats inventories rising, cars not hitting reserves on sites like Bring A Trailer, and houses sitting on the market. The madness is over, sellers just haven't quite realized it yet. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller escmanaze Posted January 6 Baller Share Posted January 6 I'm worried that it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I do feel like I'm seeing the same thing as @swc5150. It will be interesting to see what this spring brings to boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted January 11 Baller Share Posted January 11 @Jayproyou need to drag that thing down to Tennessee. Those UT boys would be all over it! 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. They also have a 5 hour 50th anniversary but Jaypro’s price smokes that one too 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members riplash Posted January 19 Members Share Posted January 19 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted January 19 Baller Share Posted January 19 If that flight craft was on the other side of the country I would definitely pick it up! I happen to know somebody who could make it like new! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MitchellM Posted January 19 Baller Share Posted January 19 This is tempting. Most reasonably priced low hour Malibu I've seen since I started looking for a boat 18 months ago. https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=65806 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ironhorse Posted Thursday at 03:26 PM Baller Share Posted Thursday at 03:26 PM @riplash did you end up buying the flight craft? I see it is now marked sold. Would love to see a rebuild thread if you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riplash Posted Thursday at 03:33 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 03:33 PM No that wasn't me. I drove myself nuts thinking about if I should get it, but I ultimately decided that the timing wasn't right for me. We are working on taking care of things that prevented me from getting this one, so hopefully we can jump on the next one. -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
