Located In De Pere, WI

Nope, not me....

[east tx skier]

Brad, did you guys ever figure out what was up with the 94?

[Ric]

Erk may have already bought that one

[Farmer Ted]

The inlet to the transmission cooler had a bunch of plastic shavings in it.

I think there was enough that eventually it worked it's way over the screen and was blocking enough water to effectively cool the engine.

We hooked up the hose and ran it for about twenty minutes and it was good to go, lake test will be this afternoon, with a rescue boat standing by......

[Ric]

keep the 205 Brad

[Farmer Ted]

the Wildman just needs a big I love Indmar group hug!

[erkoehler]

Brad, that boat is a couple hours from me......keep the 205, you have a better boat there :)

[bradamerry]

I WANT AN OUTBOARD, do you guys want me to get a fish n ski?????:rolleyes:

[barefoot]

I think that was on ebay some time ago....or maybe another site. I remember see that and thinking how close it was to me.

[pack fan]

My weekend place is about an hour away from Mr. Outboards (same ownership as Sturgeon Bay Yacht Sales) -- I bought my Maristar from them. But I think the Barefoot 200 is gone. I worked with Darin. He is a pretty straight shooter. Let me know if I can help.

[bradamerry]

The 205 is still running like ****, outboard in my future. I could have a new boat before the Greeson trip, maybe a TOON.....

[erkoehler]

Don't do it Brad....no TOONERS allowed!!!!

I've been searching and calling around trying to find you a BF200 in decent shape, its harder than you think.

[east tx skier]

Brad, how'd the lake test go on the 205 yesterday?

Maybe the fuel pump.. ran good for about 5 minutes, but still would only run 38mph. Should run around 43 to 44. It would get to 36 like it should, but from there it started missing.

I just looked at a Skeeter fishnski and a FLIGHTCRAFT....... Maybe a deckboat w/ a 200hp Yamahammer!!!

[Rockman]

Pack Fan-You are correct. That boat was listed a few times before. Where are you at? Our cottage is about an hour and a half from MR O/B.

Brad-Very plain 94 though...and with a Merc. I would wait and look for a 95 or 96 with the Comp Package and a Yamaha.

I thought Erkle was trying to make some kind of deal with me last week?:confused:

Was it you he was referring to as the "interested buyer?" :D

I would sell it but the price would be pretty high.

[bradamerry]

Do you guys think Farmer will still hang out with the Wildman, if I own a fishnski???? Maybe just for the fishing thing....:confused:

[east tx skier]

Brad, after all the fun you had pulling the kiddo around earlier this year, I can't believe you're talking selling again. Hit it with a wrench and hit the throttle man!

[ctkiteboarding]

is thier not a red one in the marketplace on this site ????

Still going to pull the kid and Brandy around... Just w/ an outboard.. Deckboat maybe????:confused: Hit it with a wrench?? I have thrown wrenches at it, still didn't help..:mad:

gone now, I talked to the guy on the phone. Long way to go for a boat. Even for a MC.

[east tx skier]

Brad, I've owned a deckboat. Heck, I've owned a deckboat made by DECKBOAT (Gatesville, TX). It's just not the same. If you go outboard, hold out for the MC.

I going to see what the 205 brings, I have the duck boat sold at a good price, if I do buy new.

only if you can get me into some Walleye at Lake Greeson.....

[6ballsisall]

What did I miss? Why you selling your new ride Brad?

[erkoehler]

Brad, we just sold a 1995 205 w/ 172 hours on the TBI engine for HIGH teens to give you an idea of where you should be looking. This boat sold 1 hour after it was dropped for at the dealership on consignment.

[east tx skier]

Erk, it always amazes me what you guys can get for these boats up there. More power to you!

[erkoehler]

Let me know when your ready Doug ;)

[east tx skier]

Will be a while, but I'll let you know.

[erkoehler]

Will be a while, but I'll let you know.


If the price keeps going up, it won't be that long:D


This 205 was super clean, and was quite tempting.....if it had the LT-1 engine in it, I might have jumped on it:cool:

[east tx skier]

There are lots of reasons I want to keep my boat. There's only one reason to sell.

[bradamerry]

I will be taking the fishnski in question to Greeson next weekend for a test run. My friends at the dealership are giving me a weekend test to see if this is the right boat for us. Boat is rated for a 150, but has a 115 4stroke on it now. I will test the boat w/ the 115, but only buy it with a 150.. We are also looking at a deckboat w/ a 200hp rating.

[erkoehler]

:eek: :( :rant: :cry:

Seems like if a guy wanted to you could make some money buying boats in the south (FL, TX and the Gulf Coast states) and then taking them up and reselling them to the Yankees. Always seems to be at least $2-5k price difference between the regions.

[BrianM]

Seriously! :confused:

That or you can just do like I have done. Watch for good deals locally and flip them ;)

[bradamerry]

not kidding at all.... No more than I ski we don't need a comp boat that I always have to work on. I could use the f&s all year and feed Farmer some fish. Duck boat gets about 5 hrs. a year put on it. I still have a 15hp I can put on a little jon boat for the duck hunting I do. Just makes since to get down 1 boat, THAT WORKS WHEN I'M ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!!! Been to Greeson on vacation twice this year and the motors in the MC's broke! Nothing to do with MC, if I could find a BF200, I would buy one. Brandy can board and ski, as well as Kaylee, behind anything. They just want something that runs. Outboards are more dependable than I/O and inboards. Kaylee said she would miss the platform.. Just me, but I still have to sell the 205 first..

[east tx skier]

Kaylee said she would miss the platform.. Just me, but I still have to sell the 205 first..

Goes without saying, but if you get an outboard, be so careful when you've got folks in the water. I know you must have become accustomed to having a straight drive.

I have thought of doing this many times. The ideal thing would be to start a "dealership" and get a Wisconsin tax ID number to avoid having to pay sales tax on the boats you buy. I almost pulled the trigger on a 2001 PS 190 that was located in Austin, TX last winter. The boat appeared to be in very good condition and was priced about $4-5000 under what it could get around here. That would make it well worth the trip, especially if you didn't have to pay sales tax.

As far as the BF200 goes, I live about 2.5 hours away from it if that helps. I have no plans to visit that area anytime in the near future, but if you need someone to look at it, we might be able to figure something out:D . PM me if you need help!

Thanks for the offer dude.. Seems like a long way to drive to get a boat..:rolleyes:

Brad, why don't you buy that jump boat that's for sale?

The jump boat would be fun to have, but not much for sking. Not sure there would be enough room for the dog???

[east tx skier]

How 'bout just sell the engine, cut the enter section out of the platform, and mount an outboard to the 205?

I told Farmer that Sunday evening at the lake.. Just drop a 225 yamahammer on that bad boy and go...:D

[bradamerry]

How about this w/ a 250hp Yamahammer... I had a VIP f&s, was agood boat...:rolleyes:

[east tx skier]

I went out with some friends on their VIP last summer. I honestly didn't want to ski, but they were very insistent. It literally took me about 7 times to get up, and that's hardly ever a problem. Once I was up, I wished I'd fallen. I know I sound like an inboard snob, but coming from an outdrive, I'll never go back. You think you miss the powerslot now? Just wait.

I can only imagine that it must be as frustrating a thing as can happen to be stranded. I say imagine, because, knock wood, I haven't had to paddle my 20' canoe yet. But over time, it's going to happen, be it an inboard or an outboard. Just the way boats be.

Brad, you know I want you to be happy. But I wouldn't be a friend if I didn't give you my honest opinion. If you decide to do it, just forget all this stuff I've said. I'll shake your hand in Greeson next year and tell you "nice boat!"

[bradamerry]

Just priced that boat out???????:confused: I could buy a new 197 for about the same as the VIP...

[east tx skier]

And that's the rub.

[bradamerry]

I'll just have the toobin' boat.............;)
