2009 Correct Craft 216 Team Edition Direct Drive

[heliskier]

I hate to do it, but the time has come to try to move this great all -around boat. My son has really been progressing with his wake boarding this year & the time has come to move on to a vee drive for him so he can take it to the next level.
This boat is an excellent cross- over boat and is both a very good slalom boat & a very good wake board boat. It is also a good boat to use in a big lake like Lake Martin is. It can handle rough water very well and make a family feel safe & secure when just spending the day on the lake.

-Team Edition
-Red-White-Blue Color scheme
-343 hp Excalibur PCM engine
-Tower with spinner racks and bimini top and tower speakers-
Ballast Tanks
-Zero-off speed control
-Jump seat
-3 speed heater
-Double axle trailer

Boat has around 103 hours but is being used every weekend so hours will change. It is in excellent condition & is garage kept. The boat is cleaned inside & out after each use & oil changed every 50 hours.

The boat is located at Lake Martin,Alabama in Dadeville which is near Auburn. I am there nearly every weekend & ski around 6:30am. So if anyone wants to try her out, come on over.

email me at Shadavis06@aol.com

I can email pictures & will try to post them here.

[heliskier]

Sorry guys, but asking $49,500.00 for boat & trailer. I am having trouble getting pictures on. Will try again tomorrow.

[heliskier]

I finally got some pictures added. Thanks again

[heliskier]

Anyone looking??? Drop of price $1000.00.

Asking $48500.00. Great boat. Now have 112 hours.

[heliskier]

Any offers?? The new 200 Vee Drive may be my next boat.

[gride300]

no way. get a 210 for wakeboarding if that's what your son is doing and one of the reasons you're selling the current

[heliskier]

I know, but I still hope for the boat that can ski & wake board better than the 216. I am still pretty hard core slalom & I just do not want to add hundreds of lbs of fat sacs to my boat to turn it into a wakeboard machine. Then, when it is my turn to ski, have to unload fat sacs to go back to being a slalom boat. I have been thinking of buying an older closed bow for me and the 210 for our family boat. I just really do not like the idea of 2 boats,2 insurances,2 etc,etc. I am trying to see what the market is for my current boat & then weigh my options.

We have been looking hard at the Mastercraft X214v and have really liked it.
Of course, I can always trade & the dealer has offered me a pretty good trade,but I have never traded for another boat & do not want to start now.


I have owned Nautiques for 20 plus years and have always had great service from them and it is hard for me to imagine myself in anything else.

I still miss my 1999 Sport Nautique for its slalom wake. I looked at a 200 open bow last week & could not help but drool.

[heliskier]

Would anyone be interested at $46,000. Very nice all around boat. Have about 125 trouble free hours.

[heliskier]

Price drop again. Deal fell thru due to financing. Now asking $45000.00 Boat has around 127 hours.

Great family boat that is excellent condition. Dealer gave it a 9 to 9.5 rating on scale of 10.

[NCH2oSki]

Make sure you ski a 214 and 214 v before you sign, I dont think you'd be impressed. I like your idea of the 200 sport nautique....thats probably the way to go.


BTW very nice looking 216, how much difference is there in the 99 sport and 216 wake?

[heliskier]

The wake of my 99 Sport I ahd for 9 years, I would rate as a 9 on a scale of 10 and I always called it excellent,especially for a larger boat.

The wake of my 216 I would rate as a 7 to 7.5 at 34.2 mph. When I free ski, I actually ski at 35.2 and would rate it as about 8.5. The wake also gets even better at 28off & 32 off.

My 16 year old rates his wake for wake-boarding as about a 7,but that is with just the ballast tanks filled, mom driving & me sitting in the very back. We have ridden as many as 4 people & he liked much more.

I am getting back to course skiing again pretty consistently and really need the wake at the 34.2mph forme to practice like I want.

The 216 is a very,very good all around boat for families and I have been pretty pleased with it. I really want to try the 200v & see if it is as good as billed. If not, I am going to buy an older closed bow & get a 210 as the family boat

Still looking for offers.. Great boat that is priced right.

[heliskier]

About to put boat up for a long winter's nap.

Last call until spring.

[heliskier]

Boat show coming in a couple of weeks.

Anybody looking for a great 216 yet??

[1994SNRoughRiver]

Please pm me.

[heliskier]

I sent you a PM. If you did not get it ,let me know..

Thanks

[Crad]

Nice looking boat. I would purchase 2 boats for the family. Get him a WB boat and your a closed bow Ski. I've not skied behind a 200V yet, but the 211 was not a good cross over boat. I liked the 216 better as a crossover.

[heliskier]

I have not decided yet what I will do. I have looked at the Sport Nautique 200 & really like it. I am going to ski behind it in the next couple of weeks. If I go with 2 boats, I can leave 1 at the private ski lake & the other at Lake Martin which is about 140 miles away and get both for nearly the same price as the 200v. I still can not believe the price of new boats now.

I may just keep the 216. It is a very,very good boat and when I look at dollars & cents (or should I say sense),that would be the smartest thing for me to do.

It is supposed to be in the 70's this weekend & I am ready to try out the water next week. My SKi Safe policy starts again March 1 & I am ready to go.

[DanielC]

I will be honest with you. I have seen inverts and 360 spins behind my boat, a lot of times without ballast, or even a full load of passengers.
My boat is a 1997 Ski Nautique.

I have also have a friend that got good at wakeboarding behind a 16 foot mid 1970's Fiberform, with a 70 HP Johnson outboard.

My advise is to keep the 216. If your son cannot throw good stuff behind it, getting a dedicated wakeboard boat will not improve him that much.

Slalom skiing demands a good wake for that discipline. You might want to try a 200V, to see if is is an improvement over the 216. Take your son, and see how it wakeboards too.

But I think buying two boats is just a little over the top, but it really is your choice.

[Chattwake]

I disagree. The wake behind a boat, like a 210, that is made for wakeboarding is more consistent and better shaped that what you have. Also, the wake behind a boat like a 210 can get huge with enough weight and retain its shape. It is much much easier to learn behind a boat like a 210.

[DanielC]

I am going to respectfully suggest that with a huge wake, you never really learn to pull a hard cut. And that limits your potential.
You learn to cut harder with a smaller wake, and when you get the large wake, you can go even bigger.

[Chattwake]

Well, I've found that you tend to get injured when you end up trying to use speed to learn tricks instead of using the right size and shape wake. Just my .02. I think sound fundamentals are actually learned quicker behind a boat with a better wake.

[heliskier]

Still interested in selling the boat. Have used it a couple of times the last month and the hours are around 135.

[heliskier]

Hours now around 150. I had decided to keep boat,but have been made a deal that is making it hard to give up.
