    Boats MUST LIST A LOCATION (State)IN THE TITLE (Seems people can't read lately)-along with Make/Model/Year

SOLD 2012 212X/SS For Sale <MO>

Its gotta be timing of both season and 2015 new model announcement.
 
Still for sale if anyone is looking for a great deal on a loaded boat that is in excellent condition.
 
Honestly, I think it's the aftermarket tower scaring folks off... but I could be wrong. Again, it's my opinion, but folks spending that much on a boat I think are looking for more of a factory boat.

Don't get me wrong... It's a beautiful boat and you've got some great mods on it. I say pull the tower off, cap the holes, and tint the windshield. That will give it that "SS" look. Market the tower with the boat, but not on the boat. This way the new buyer can add it at his discretion or they could even sell it if it's not they're thing.

Just my .02

Trace, I just listed my boat on here after seeing two other boats sell in no time flat. Your guess is as good as any on why yours is sitting longer....though the two I saw sell were a little older (like mine) and therefore had a lower price point.

As for the aftermarket tower - I can attest to the fact that if it's installed correctly, there are no issues. Mines been on there three years and not even the slightest of a spider crack has developed. Yamaha hulls are the same for models with or without the tower, they use plywood backing to support the tower. Same thing I did with mine. I've taught multiple people (including big guys) how to wake board and I swear people learning to get up put way more pressure on the tower than anyone else. No issues.

Bonus for my model year (and maybe yours) the tower I installed folds down. The 2007 AR model tower was fixed and I've had several occasions where I've folded mine to get under a bridge or store my boat.

Good luck with your sale.
 
I agree @Tollus , that tower is a
Much better tower than a stock tower. And on a related note, how many threads have we read that towers are
Delivered loose. So even a factory install isn't better than that of a good installer. As well as many of the factory towers and windshields experienced spider cracks due to poor installation. An aftermarket tower done right would be my choice too. You have a good boat there @trace , it is just a fluke that one sells faster than another if everything else is equal. Anyone wanting a boat set up for wake and surf would be getting a better value by buying a boat like yours that is already dialed in, especially with your equipment list!
 
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and perspectives. This boat is a steal at the current pricing with no options and it's still for sale if you know anyone looking for a great boat.
 
Still for sale at a great price.

I just added 5 videos to the first post and updated the entire listing in the first post.
 
Why didn't you have it for sale a couple years ago when i was shopping?
I wonder if the new brands coming out is stealing used boat sales?
 
Just a quick bump, this boat is still for sale at a great price. The price is actually going to go up a bit in January due to some lost tax advantages. Hurry hurry, this would make a great Christmas present, lol.
 
Your Bluetooth Ballast App is really cool, @trace !:thumbsup:

 
Thanks GT, it was a ton of fun working it out and setting up the interface.
 
Now that boat show season is upon us and everybody has seen the new boats with new boat pricing. Here is a loaded boat at a great price still for sale and turn key ready for new year.
 
Straight up trade? Lol
You selling anywhere else? Surprised it's still here!

Me too, Lee me too. Got it on the other site, on boat trader, had it on ebay, on local dealer website, on local dealers Craigslist ads in other regions.
 
posts like this make me leery as im hoping to sell mine spring 2016 to go v drive as well, guess i better pay down enough to almost give it away, good luck and hopefully yours will sell in the spring
 
No doubt it will sell in the spring. Once the warmer weather hits people will be coming out of the wood work.
 
@trace Any luck on the sale?
 
Had a few tire kickers and a really low offer I had to pass on in the last month. But other than that, it's still for sale.
