@ matt...

I'm really digging this new "deliver it to me" strategy you have been using, have a cheap 99 GS on its way over to my place this afternoon, no hassles and no missed work !

 

[Matt Braley]

Yeah it's worth the try. Some sellers can be very motivated to get that cash in hand.

Another weekend another 96XP ready to turn somebody on to the sport! http://okaloosa.craigslist.org/boa/5684815255.html

At this point I am starting to think Seadoo must have made 1,000,000 XP's back in 96'.

Or more I think it was the most produced ski ever

 

[Ankeneyou]

Were there a ton of leftover 96's in 97 and 98?

 

[Matt Braley]

Yes for sure. The official production #'s are "zillions" since we can't get the real ones. I see in their advertising that they were the top selling boat in the world a year and a half before that model.

No I don't think there were too many left overs. Credit was flowing freely back then so a lot of people could just sign their name and ride.

Yeah there are some good deals there. I wish he was close to me I have an empty triple trailer that would be perfect for that deal.

That 98 was on cl earlier this year I made an offer for just the ski but he never replied.

 

[Matt Braley]

I bet he'd take a grand for all three Doo's. That 98 engine is looking fresh water and unmolested.

Original ad I screen shot a while back guy wouldn't come down

I'd just about give a ski away to get that back.

I kinda like his ad style. Not sure if it's too much of a put off but it's true. "Too much? Don't call!"

 

[snikwad003]

^ my dad tried that with his raptor 700 and only 1 person called him. Its still for sale too

 

[1of500]

I normally go a couple hundred higher than what I want and put obo. That way they feel like they are getting a good deal

But does it have a trailer?

 

[snikwad003]

Call him and tell him you will give him a grand with the trailer

 

[lamajama]

Call him and tell him you will give him a grand with the trailer

Obviously tongue-in-cheek but to be fair, I've put seadoo's on CL and spelled EVERYTHING out like trailer or no, hours, model/year
and anything else I can think of that I myself would ask, and the first questions out of their mouth is "does it come with a trailer", "how
many hours are on it", "what year is it", "what model is it" and on and on.

My friend handles it well. He says "read the ad" and hangs up on them. :facepalm:

 

[WhiskeyD]

Sounds like CL haha. $1200 for that ski is a very good deal if motor is healthy. That wouldn't last a week around here
