1994 ProStar??

[PimpinD]

I am going to Tampa this weekend to check out a 94 Prostar with a tower, new interior, cd player, 4 blade prop, and sacs for $14,900 they said the trailor was bad, and we would probly have them lower the price since we would need to buy a new trailor.
Anyone know alot about these boats?
how do they preform??
When weighted will they put out a nice wake? comparable to that of an Xstar (in shape mosrtly).
Also hows the room in this boat??
Can i fit sacs in lockers, how should i weight out the boat? i Was thinking fat seat and 600 in the front??

Thanks
Alex

Is it a 190 or 205?

[PimpinD]

its a 205

[bizzuck]

couldnt tell you, but i got mine from tarpon springs and my trailer is stuff, so knock that price down for real, you might wanna see how much a new trailer will cost to help you figure what you will give him

That boat has can produce a great wake, I'm pretty sure it is the sanme hull as the x-7 or one of the X-series boats. I have a 94 prostar 190, great boat. That's a great price, how many hours on it?

its got 750 hr. going to go check it out 2morrow afternoon, what dealer is near tarpon spring so i can get some tests run on the engine??
Thanks

A 94 205 can throw a great wake. It is not the same as an X7, which is based off of the new 190 hull but with an open bow. The 94 205 I have ridden was pigged out, but I think a fat seat in the back and 300-400 in the front should do just fine.

cool, i went to go look at the boat 2day, everything look ok...
But two things before i make my final decision...
how bad is a stress crack ?? and what does it look like??
how much for a new trailor?

The interior of this boat is very nice
newly redone...
the speakers and all that suck.
comes with 2 fat sacs and 1 pump
tower looks well installed, cept for one lil crap in a weld (very small).
trailor has rust, to point where it would be needing replacment ...
Lemme know what yall think?? im knew to buying boats... and dealers in the LAND O LAKES area, i know LAND O LAKES Dealer is near by, anyone have a website or something??

Thanks

I replaced a trailer. It ran about $3,200 out the door for really good a dual axle trailer with spare tire, surge brakes & swing-away tongue. You could save some cash by buying less features.

monday we are taking the boat out, and checkin the engine, if everything is A ok, then the boat is mine

I hope everything works out, we are going to repaire the trailor a lil and see if it needs to be completly replaced...

$3,200 is WAY too much heh
i was thinkin $1000 maybe?? single axel, brakes... galvanized thats about it ... lights too

Yeah thats a great boat, I think '94 is the first year they put the 351 EFI engine in there, before '94 they used the Ford 351 and cold starts can be a pain b/c of the carb. Also ask how new the battery is, you will def want to get a new battery if its aged, and maybe talk him into taking that off the final price.

ProStar 205's can hold tons of weight, I have a friend that does 300 in the back, 2x600 beside the engine, plus people weight in the bow, its a HUGE clean wake at decent speeds, like 20-22mph.

battery's brand new... he only came down to $14,700 and he did some repaires on the trailor, but o well, my dad agreed and if it runs good in the water 2morrow then we take it home

I hope he dont fall of on the ride ... anyone know how big the clamp should be to hold the back of the boat down on the trailor?? my dad got a 16ft one??

Thanks

[PimpinD]

well we got the boat 2day. boy am i happy. Shes a nice one, i will have some picutres of her 2morrow, now i need to convince my dad that weight is nessecary
Thanks for all the help.

Hope she dont die
