1991 Nautique Excel V-Drive
I found this while browsing Craigslist Cleveland.Looks like it would be a nice project boat for someone. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/boa/4343473251.html

I have a '92 Excel. Its a pretty sweet wake for the $$
|
I haven't had the pleasure of riding behind one, but I have heard that they're hard to get a decent surf wake out of them. Is that true?
|
While it is a pretty clean looking boat for it's age, I think $9000 is a bit steep for a 23 year old boat. Plus it looks like it's sitting on the wrong trailer. But would probably still make a fun project.

It's not really steep on the price for a 1991 V-Drive. Some boats such as the Sunsports and Sunsetters of that age as Direct Drives pull the same price or even a little higher. If that was around me and I was in the market for a boat I would jump on it. You can't typically even touch a V-Drive for under 15-20kk around here.
91 Supra Mariah for $9.5k http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/bod/4322299258.html 85 SN2000 for $8k http://www.seattlewatersports.com/in...oducts_id=1236 89 Prostar 190 for 9k http://www.seattlewatersports.com/in...roducts_id=957 90 Prostar 190 for 10k http://www.seattlewatersports.com/in...roducts_id=956 91 Ski Centurion for 8.5k http://www.seattlewatersports.com/in...roducts_id=832 93 SN2000 for $14k http://www.seattlewatersports.com/in...roducts_id=955 93 Malibu Skier for 15k http://www.seattlewatersports.com/in...oducts_id=1245 At leas tthat's how the market looks around here most of the time. Nothing really in the Portland area atm, all up in Seattle. So for your same 9k, if you could get a 91 Excel V Drive or get a any of those other boats for similar money, my money would go to the V-Drive. |
What a sweet looking boat. I love the hull design. Any wave pictures!??
Any good upholstery shop should be able to make that thing wrap around seating. |
