Hey guys! I was looking on Cragislist today and noticed a 1979 mastercraft skier 19, i was wondering if this is the same hull as a stars and stripes and also if it would throw a decent wake? I wouldnt mind weighting it. I dont need a huge wake. and am just starting out, I can W2W on an unweighted ski nautique 2001 (friends boat) and sometimes 180 off a w2w but other then im a noob. The mastercraft needs a new interior and is only $2,000. at the end of the season is this a fair price? My main question is should i just get a little newer IO for about half the price or would this be worth it? im only 15 so this is the top of my price range
i attached some pics
Heres a link to the boat http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/boa/3329422509.html

Thanks

Only problem is that it has a low freeboard and weighing the boat down will put the boat really low in the water. But I'd imagine with 1000lbs this boat could throw a wake that would make you pretty happy. Offer 1500 and spend 500 on sacs.

Sounds good! Really anything would be better then what i have right now, an ancient 14 ft trihull, next to no wake Sad
