This 1998 Ski Nautique Open Bow (SNOB) came to us from Florida, where it spent numerous summers on Compass Lake. It appears that it hasn't been used much over the past few years. The gelcoat is oxidized, and will require a good wet sanding and polishing to bring it back to life, but it should polish out nicely.

Hours are unknown on this boat because the previous owner removed the hour gauge.

This boat is finished in Violet & Charcoal, with silver pinstripes. The dash is in good condition, the windshield is in good shape (could use new paint on the frame), and opens and closes well. The swim platform is unrestored, but would clean up very nicely.

The engine is the HO 351 with 285 HP. It has a new carburetor, according to the previous owner, and it seems to run well.

The trailer is the original 1998 trailer made for this specific boat. It is in fair condition, and has new tires.

We would restore this boat ourselves before selling, but our shop is so busy right now that we just don't have the time. We have decided to offer this one up as-is. Someone will get a very nice restoration project at a good price.

The boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.

The trailer title is still being processed, but we expect a clean and clear North Carolina title soon.

Restored, this boat and trailer would be worth at least $20,000.

We will sell the boat and trailer as-is for $7,000.
