The boat was purchased new in 1992 and was POWERBOAT MAGAZINE's "Ski Boat of the Year".  It has great stability and tracking plus lots of power and interior room for a busy day on the water.   The boat has a pull-out radio (prevents theft), a cooler, and lots of storage for water toys, clothing, food and drinks.  The wide beam and deep gunnels are a great safety feature for small children.  Although rated for 8 passengers, seating is flexible with seating for the driver, 2 people on the rear facing seat and 5-7 others on the open bow and rear bench seats  This is a straight inboard (no more fighting a lower unit on the boat ramp or repair shop) with a mid-ship engine for weight balance.  It is easily reaches plane and does not require "trimming".  Ski pylon, tow ring at the stern and swim platform allow plenty of flexibility in towing your toys plus easy entry and exit to and from the water.  An adjustable wake plate allows for variable wakes.  The 240 hp inboard with a special 1.23:1 gear reduction and 3 bladed brass propeller designed for power is rated for 0-30 mph in 3 seconds.  In an inboard, virtually all of the engine's power reaches the prop.  The boat and engine have only 390 hours of use (we live nearly 100 miles from good, enjoyable lakes) even though it has been used regularly.    Lastly, through an innovative design, an offset rudder prevents the boat from pulling to the left when powering up, thus allowing the boat to naturally go straight and the driver to focus on the skier.  Sale includes a tandem axle full-bunk trailer, boat cover, skis and tubes, life jackets, mooring lines, boat bumpers, anchors, paddle and running lights.  Seller must pay by cashier check or wire transfer and transport from Hudson IA.  Small blemishes are noted in the condition section above and photos.  The boat has already run this year and performed well.  Call 319-988-4560 for more information.
