How to hijack a thread! Why don't you pony up and then run your own ad.
Thanks for the supprt there rparkssos. That p***ed me off a littel bit and i am pretyy easy going. oh well some people!
Duckdiggler Im sellign to down size a little. Well maybe not downsize but to cut my expenses a little. Just got married and i am looking for a more trailerable boat center console to keep at the house instead of 45 miles away in the slip. Kids will be comign soon and i need a smaller financial target. I lvoe the boat and don't really want to get rid of it. The weather this year and work obligations have also been frustrating i have only used it 10 times this year which by this time Im at around 30 trips. so I am a little bummed!
Yes it has the 8' 9" beam. ANd its a lot cheaper then the 2005 listed above!!!
Shame, it's exactly what I'm looking for and in the right price range.I was kinda hoping you were looking to upsize and maybe work something out with my grady. If I sell my grady here in the near future and your still selling, I'll definately be in touch.I here ya on the kids just had my second son 3 weeks ago. so I know what ya mean. If it makes you feel any better I've only had a chance to use mine 3 times this year.

This is one heck of a deal for some one. I almost pulled the trigger for this boat after I sold my Contender, but a Grady caught me instead. This rig is in GREAT condition.
Kinda wished I bought this now as I have the lower unit of my motor apart in my cellar right now.
Hi Greg !!
RE: 1999 Hydrasport 230WA ($21,000 takes it Away) Plus Full Tank of Gas!!!
Hey Greg,
Do you have overall weight for boat, motor and trailer? Based on your comments above is it a hard boat to trailer back and forth to a ramp? I am looking to move up from a 19 to a 21 to 23 WA but I am a little concerned it will not be as easy. Also, sounds like a fair amount of hours on the engine. Anything done to the engine other then routine maintenance at this point? thanks
Re: 1999 Hydrasport 230WA ($21,000 takes it Away) Plus Full Tank of Gas!!!
Boat motor trailer weight is about 5000 lbs. It is not a hard boat to trailer i have just had it in the slip for so long and I won't be abel to afford the slip next year that i just want something smaller that i can use int he numerous lakes near my house instead of the 60 mile trip tot he shore. I can't see my self usign it a lot if I do that.
as far as engine hours I use it! That is why I bought the boat to use it. It had 235 when i bought it and it has 559 today after having it for 3 years. So I use it. Ive heard storeis of guys getting 1000's of hours out of these motors. And rather buy a 7 year odl motor with soem use hours on it then one that has sat aroudn for he majority of uits life. Its in good shape! As far as work normal maintence mostly. this year i had to replace the stator, regulator rectifier assembly due to a mmistake on my part. Not wirign a battery correctly. it is fixed and running great.

Thanks for the info Greg. Unfortunately, I understand that my 6 cylinder Tundra only has a towing capacity of 4890lbs otherwise I would be very interested. It sure does look like a very well kept boat.

Is the boat still for sale. Do you have any additional pictures of the boat inside the V bert and the cockpit? very interested, my 1974 20' cc seacraft just plow it's mercury black max 175 and I'm looking to move up in size to a bigger boat for the family.
