This 1999 Sport Nautique came to us from Florida, where it spent numerous summers pulling skiers. It appears that it hasn't been used much over the past few years, and was left to sit in the sun and fade. The gelcoat is oxidized, and the vinyl will require complete replacement.
Hours are a very low 124.1.
This is the most well-optioned Sport Nautique I have ever come across. It seems to have every available option from the factory (except the Python engine), including the air/water temp gauge, heater, shower, and even the 6-disc CD changer!
This boat is finished in Navy Blue & Charcoal, with black pinstripes. The dash is in good condition, with a depth finder, air/water temperature gauge, and Correct Craft Cruise (speed control). The windshield is in great shape, and opens and closes well. The swim platform is unrestored, but would clean up very nicely.
The engine is a GT-40 with 310 HP. It is in unknown condition, but we are assuming it does NOT run. The previous owner removed the spark plugs, and the condition of the engine overall appears a little rough. It may be able to be saved, but we are assuming it will need replacement.
The trailer is a mid-1990's Ram-Lin galvanized single-axle. It is not in great shape, but I have moved this boat to this trailer in order to sell the boat at a lower price. The Boatmate trailer that the boat was on when we acquired it is likely worth more than the boat, so that made the price of the boat not match up with the boat's condition. If you want the very nice 2016 Boatmate trailer, that is an option, but the cost will go up.
We would restore this boat ourselves before selling, but our shop is so busy right now that we just don't have the time. We have decided to offer this one up as-is. Someone will get a very nice restoration project at a good price.
The boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.
The Ram-Lin trailer will be sold on a Bill of Sale.
Restored, this boat and trailer would be worth at least $22,000.
We will sell the boat and Ram-Lin galvanized trailer as-is for just $3,990.
*** This price DOES NOT INCLUDE the black Boatmate trailer that is in some of the pictures. It includes the galvanized Ram-Lin trailer pictured at the end of this post.***
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BLACK BOATMATE TRAILER IN SOME PICTURES ABOVE DOES NOT COME WITH THE BOAT. The galvanized Ram-Lin trailer in the pictures below comes with the boat. If the black Boatmate trailer is desired, it can be sold with the boat at an additional cost.
The Ram-Lin trailer below has brand new tires, and the bearings have been greased. The lights are the stick-on type, but work well. I make no guarantees on the trailer's condition, and it is not pretty, but it has worked well for me while I have had it.
