Hi guys,
I just picked up my '99 225 Sundowner today. Its been a life goal of mine since I was about 6 years old going up to the lake every weekend. I'm a seasoned boater, my parents had a boat from the time I was 6-18 ('88 215 Sundowner). Anyways 6 years of college, two bachelors degrees and 2 years into my sales career (pure commission car sales) later I finally picked one up. I've always loved the Sundowners for their great seating area while having a cuddy. It fits everything I need: v8 will pull me slalom skiing, good wake for wakeboarding and tubing, and a comfortable stay for myself and my girlfriend, along with separate space for others to crash under the camper top.
About the boat though. It has only 200 hours on it and the interior is like new. The sides where its blue and some of the decals has some dock rash, but it looks like most will wheel out. The boat is mint besides that. It was turn key minus the need for a throwable pfd and new flairs. Best of all the engine was replaced in 08 from overheating and it only has 50 hours on it since. It is bottom painted as well. I picked it up with the four winns trailer with surge brakes for $12.5k. I think I negotiated a good deal since the blue books say between $16-17k with the trailer for this region. Most I have seen listed in this condition are around 18-19.
First upgrade will be the terrible stereo. I'm going with an Alpine xda-100m head unit with a MC20 remote for the swim platform. I have amps from my car audio from my last car so I am good on strong amps already, but I need to pick up some Polk db 654's, or I may spring for the MM's.
But anyways on with the pics!
