You know, I actually used mine more when it was still on the trailer and was stored inside boat storage across town. Now that it is in a slip - I hardly use it.

I bought my 1999 Z302 used from a dealer in 1999 with 20 hrs on it. It was a new boat (demo) that was damaged needing an outdrive and some bottom repair. It was a very good deal! Had it ever since and at the price of new boats will probably keep it for a very long time. It is still like new.

Hi,

Where do you keep your boat in Kingston? We were at Confederation Basin last weekend for Buskers, had a great time! Usually in Kingston 3-4 times a year, love it there

Mine was used, with 12.7 hrs on the dial when I sea trialed her. She has about 90 hrs now. 1997 Z210 Shahbah. The dentist who bought her new didn't go out much.

2000 Shabah 182 Alpha 1 4.3 owned since new, now has 230 hrs.

Still looks/runs like the day we bought her!

Has been in most of the lakes in the midwest!

Still tops out at 52mph on the GPS!

Just normal maintenance--oil/filter changes!

We love this boat!

Nearly pulled the trigger in 1994 on a '94 Talari 180 pearl and bimini

The dealer made sure he ordered what I eyeing in the 1995 models that winter down to the color and as soon as I saw it, I was sold!

Still get many compliments in my 15th season!

bought mine new in 98. Wouldn't change it for the world. I love it. TLC makes all the difference.
