Is this the one for me?

very good crossover boat. I bet he'd sell it for $18.5....

classic malibu colors. for another $5K you could add titan, speakers and 2,000 lbs. of ballast.

Looks like an 00, not an 01... If I could get it for 18.5K I would have at least 2G's into getting it to VT. That puts me a 20.5K... I not that much more for that 03 with 74 hours.

Keep the adds coming!!! At this point I think I will wait for the 03.

[Levi900RR]

What do ya'll think??

I think you should wait for the 03!

[Levi900RR]

Me too... If that one ends up falling through this may be a canidate, if its still available.

It is like 10 mins from my office when I travel down to Charlotte. Issue would be getting it home.

[shawndoggy]

get them to throw in either perfect pass or integrated ballast at that price and you are off to the races. What tower is that?

Looks nice and clean, but that isn't a great looking tower and the single axle trailer looks kind of small. I would prefer that '03 with no tower and the dual axle trailer.

[Levi900RR]

Yeah, I like the 03 way better... I don't like the tower at all.

It has 225.4 hours on it.

What do you think of the pic of the wedge? Does that say salt water to you ???

[Arctic Slalom]

Seems like a good price for the VLX, no?

It looks really clean.

The '03 certainly has better interior(updated).

lots of used boats coming online now!

I like the 03 much better... If you see anything good out there post it up!

Says nice stereo, wonder what it is? Looks nice, too bad it is far away. Seems like almost all the good deals on boat and trucks are in TX!

[Bradley Thornton]

Friend just picked up a 07 VLX 450hours hade 14k in stereo system. $42,500 in Dallas TX I wanted that boat bad was good deal.

[Lance B. Johnson]

Dude. We are on thirty pages and Levi still doesn't have a boat.

[UWSkier]

I can vouch for the '01s! Like the Zephyr one with the Tower. The one Ronnie posted looks just like ours.

[Bill_AirJunky]

Man, that is one good lookin boat.

Levi,

CB, this is what my plan is... Keeping other options open. If something better pops up closer to me I'm on it.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/boa/3749680818.html

That thing looks sick. Wish it was closer...

KEEP THE ADDS COMING,

30+ pages but I will keep pushing forward until I am in my new boat!

[UWSkier]

Man, that is one good lookin boat.

Always wondered how she'd look with a tinted windscreen... Maybe a good future mod.

[Levi900RR]

Anyone retro fit a newer retractable pylon on an older V drive like this 03? I can't think of when I would EVER use it and was designing some sort of fill in plate so I could remove it but if I could put a retractable one in that would be the best solution.

EDIT: NM, Just did a search...

Yeah. I am disappoint too. Nitrousbird mentioned that he was going to try to shorten his. I don't know if he still intends on doing that. So that might be a "meet in the middle" solution.

I wonder how this compares to Andy (Chathamsolutions) sp? a few years back ?

He was a Mod here for awhile.

I will still be doing that. I keep adding more projects to the boat so that hasn't hit the top of the list. With as crappy of weather we have had I still haven't de-winterized the boat. I have a pile of other goodies on their way to install on the boat as well. One would eventually think I'd run out of things I could do to the boat - haven't neared the end of that list yet. At least it is mostly toys for the boat.
