MasterCraft

1988 MasterCraft TriStar 190 - Ski / Wakeboard BoatSki/Wakeboard Boat - 5.8L V8 - Ford 351ci Windsor.Two-owner boat. My parents purchased in 1992 with approximately 250 hours. It was a private sale however the owner was a Ski Centurion dealer who purchased the MasterCraft new for his personal boat. His dealership was at his house on a ski lake and I am not sure if it was sold in the name of his dealership or not.I have been the primary user since about 1996. Boat has been maintained by my father or me in a well-equipped garage with proper tools. Brake drums have been turned every few years. Boat has always been stored indoors, with the exception of vacations.I have not used it it much the past two years and decided to sell it.Boat will surf and wakeboard. It was de-winterized on March 13, 2021 and I have added a You Tube link of a cold start and a video of the surf wake.Please request any specific pictures or information that I may have left out. Boat is available for a test run, or an engine start in the driveway with a hose if desired.Buyer will need to arrange shipping or pickup. Boat weight is approximately 2,600 lbs and approximately 3,500 lbs with the trailer.Brakes work well and it a very stable tow-rig.Boat is in excellent shape for its age however it does have wear and blemishes indicative of a 33 year old boat that has pulled skiers and boarders its whole life. I have done my best to outline every flaw below, however please request any specific pictures or request any additional information.*Please note that this boat was up for an classifieds board auction that ended March 21, 2021 however the buyer backed out the following day. I am pricing the boat based on the bidding history of that action however I am using a Buy It Now / Best Offer format. I have also revised the (12) photos based on feedback of original listing.Youtube link of a surf wake and a youtube link of a cold start which was performed March 13th, 2021.https://youtu.be/U45H6xOpm - Surf Wakehttps://youtu.be/UcK-BBHfXKU - Cold StartFLAWSRear seat bottom is ripped and becomes easily waterlogged. I had it covered with a shower curtain liner for the past two seasons, however I have removed it for the purpose of the listing.Front observer seat bottom is not as bad as the rear however I used a waterproof cover on it as well.Interior is 100% original and is overdue for replacement. It is usable but the rear seat bottom in particular but will need to be protected with a cover. The observer seat bottom is the second worse and benefits greatly from a waterproof cover as well. This is for the purpose of getting an additional season or two out of it.There is no fitted cover. Currently has a generic $80 universal cover that needs to be replaced.Missing right rear arm rest. Fasteners corroded and arm rest blew off while being trailered.

It had to be replaced while on vacation and I had to use a cheap manual tubing bender in an emergency. Trailer brake line is pictured on the layout image.Trailer has moderate corrosion around carpeted areas, as can bee seen in photos. It is still solid but this should be addressed or evaluated by a trailer shop at some point.
