I don't, in fact I started to delete the post because I haven't been able to find it again. It came in the normal feed, but I've checked all the market place feeds and can't seem to find it again. Maybe it sold or was a hoax. Definitely could have worked for the right person.

I have not seen those. The wife and I are coming down for Thanksgiving and going to go scope some things out over there. What company does Roger own?

Not sure if the half off is gonna happen. This administration is more likely to have 50% inflation to off balance the negative of the economy when it shifts. Something is coming, but not sure what.

That’s most of what I’ve seen for sale. Super high hours on fairly new machines. There’s a couple local that I’ll keep my eye on for price drops.

Having read your often knowledgeable and certainly entertaining contributions here on RDP for many years, I'm given cause to wonder. 🤔

I don't recall you previously describing any passions that include riding PWCs, which makes me inclined to believe, either your children are in the market,
or you're looking to buy, throw on a shine, some lipstick and flip.

I know, that's a poorly camouflaged way of inquiring, just what are your intentions good sir ? 😁

I'ved owned quite a few through the years,... for me right now, we wanna go scout lake mead, and we sold our sea doos about 6 or 8 mo. ago.... they most'y just sat.... right now you can launch at boulder beach no mater what the water level... I would say, the market is too high to buy flippers,.. also with having 2 ponoons, it only makes since to own a couple sea doos...

bought these from Dilligaf years ago..

Very cool, I never knew that. 👍
My wife and I for many years now have been passionate about ridding and spent the vast majority of our lake time on our (Now) vintage PWCs.
For that reason the Cole has become essentially a Barn Find Garage Queen, at least until my wife retires and I decide if I'm going to re-furb it or hand her off to my son.

The old school carbed 2 strokes tend to legally limit us to Havasu or the river, but we'd like to have the option of Mohave or Mead. That and of course, we're not getting any younger and many of these newer much heavier skis handle rough chop a bit more kindly. 😁

Anyway, if I read that ole Steve's found a pair of skis, I won't be hounding you for " How Much " 😂

Hell, I'm surprised they didn't disown you for not obtaining their approval first. 😂 Which begs the question, why, but then it's not really any of my business. 👍
But does seem odd when you're now looking at two very similar, albeit newer skis. Those two GTIs you posted were sure ridden a lot by somebody.

Oh for sure, I know that dilemma well. Years ago when contracting I tended to save a whole lotta stuff, one of these, two of those, you know how that works. Of course the vast majority of the time I was to lazy to search for it, so if available simply ordered a new one, but in theory, it worked because every now and then, Eureka, you'd saved something you could indeed use and desperately needed.

Dear wife would eye my shop as a hopeless mess, lamenting how we'd never move, far to much work. So I'd order a large construction site sized disposal container.

I'd fill a wheel burrow and haul it out and dump it. Then go refill the wheel burrow and return to dump it, then notice a bunch of cool shit from the first load, and return to the shop with my wheel burrow full.
At the end of the day, nothing had really changed and the large container was essentially empty. Then I'd call my buddies and neighbors and offer my container if they had anything they needed to dispose of --- And my wife would come out and still be sad, realizing it was hopeless. 😖

In 07' the fire came and reduced every bit of it to ash. Problem solved and honestly, despite losing everything, I felt as if the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders --- I was free from my burden at last. I swore, never, ever to allow that to happen again.

Well guess what --- coming up to the 15 year anniversary of the " Great Cleansing" and a whole shit ton of it found it's way back. 🥴

For the record you're my hero, not only the way you buy things, which I'm really good at and love to do --- but the way you sell shit I find amazing, because I absolutely hate and I mean HATE to deal with selling anything. 90% of the vehicles I've owned, I've always traded in, despite knowing it's costing me thousands each time.

So I look at your threads and think, " Look, Steven can do it, just do what Steve Does " 😁
