I know a guy in Texas who said he'd love to have a late model Response LXi someday just to have as a cruise-around boat.  This one is about as clean, sharp, and low hours as you'll find from that first vintage.  Sharp boat!

It better be like new…. Isn’t the asking price about what I was new in 04?

PreCovid price on that is closer to 25K.

I have nearly the same boat that I'm going to be listing soon.  

Thought you would never part with that. Calling it quits on the skinny stick?

I don't want to.  But the reality is that I don't need it.  It's not been used much this season at all.  All 4 of the kids would rather be on a surf or wakeboard.  The better half and I like both.  The lake we live on is not friendly for wake boats and is where the RLXi and pontoon live.  10 miles down the road, the 25LSV lives on a larger lake at one of our rental houses.  That lake also has a course where I have friends with dedicated DD boats so I always have a pull.  If we still lived there, I would not consider selling the RLXi.  We won't be living there for another 6 years (When the boys can drive) due to school bussing and our work schedules, so letting her go to someone who will use her makes sense.  I hate the idea of selling, but also hate the idea of having a 3rd boat to maintain and store that I don't really use.  I'm not at all calling it quits on the skinny stick, just not doing it as much as I'd like.

When we move back there, I'll likely get another DD.

You're given a bathtub and you can outfit it how you wish.  The motor may work but if not, you can put whatever you wanted on it.  I am sure exterior would cleanup well.  If I were closer, it would be a fun winter project.

aggravates me to no end that FB marketplace has become so popular.  I got off FB in 2016 and have no desire ever to reactivate my account.

I'm not on FB either but I can click on the link and see it (On a computer anyways)

Strange. It wants me to login to proceed on my pc.

Market place is the only reason I use it. Id actually save money deleting the app. Craigslist has suffered since marketplace took off

I temporarily reactivated my FB last autumn when I was RV shopping. TBH I find Marketplace to be a pain to use. Craig's search is much more granular IMO.

100% agree.  And yet I feel like marketplace is taking over.  Far fewer of those "rare gems" seem to get posted on CL.  CL seems to be mostly dealer posts on stuff.  A better FB search engine where you could select for actual location would be awesome.

Agreed, usually dealer spam which I don’t understand since you have to pay to post on Craigslist now.

For selling cars, Marketplace is faster, for me.

It shouldn't for a direct link of a product, but just marketplace, it will.

You can get a good look at a t-bone steak by sticking your head up a bull's @ss.... or you could take the butcher's word for it.

Then create another account.  Doesn't mean you need to have friends or anything else - just an account to use for Marketplace.

Good lord - talk about crazy prices.  63K buys a whole lot of ugly.  Also seems odd that a 6.2L is only good for 370HP, I think they say it is 420 in a silverado

I love the concept and original goal of the WT, but yeah, not a fan of the aesthetics for sure...can't believe there hasn't been a redesign by now.

[UWSkier]

This is a CLEAN '01 SSLXi at a nice price.

Needs PP and a heater, but looks to be in excellent shape.

That thing looks gorgeous UWSkier.
