Mastercraft

FOR SALE a beautiful classic 1998 Mastercraft Prostar 205-Bowrider - This boat has some very unique features for an older MasterCraft. And a fuel injected FRESHWATER COOLED CLOSED LOOP HEAT EXCHANGER motor with just 46 hours since a complete overall in 2018. This open bow Prostar 205 has quite a cult following, making one of the best wakes for skiing of any ski boat. I am 57 years old, and I realize my water skiing days are more behind me now, and I also own a new 28 ft. Edgewater boat. I really now need the garage space after purchasing a classic antique car, I am going to miss this great boat, but something has to go for garage space reasons.

Renovated in 2014 - Complete drive train replaced (see pics) - 350 TBI (throttle body injection) now with 46 Hours since complete overhaul in 2018 - upgraded LT1 water pump, closed freshwater cooling system with stainless steel catch strainer basket, flush systems, winterizing hardware, mufflers, new motor mounts, new SS shaft, couplings, cutlass bushings, shaft packing housing, -Too many parts to list for sure. Have entire book of receipts. Newer 4 Blade 13x13 prop. Equise Interior by Viper customs from TN in 2014. Looks very nice, not perfect, some small nicks, but very nice. Foam is in excellent condition. This is a NO-WOOD construction boat. With the exception of the teak wood transom platform of course, the construction of this boat uses no wood, it is a composite construction with no wood rot, soft spots, structural stringer rot, or soft decking going forward.

$2,000 - 3 month old stereo system that absolutely sounds awesome. See details below. Refurbished Speedos, Main battery shut off switch located in glove box - single battery set up, Dash panels (left and right) were custom made in black acrylic CNC machine cut as an exact replacement of original panels with all new Carling marine rocker switches that illuminate when powered on. The left panel has the laser etched MasterCraft logo engraved in silver contrast. Upgraded embossed stainless steel (4 total 2 fore and 2 aft) Pop up Mastercraft Cleats. Boat gets a ton of compliments, as the Overall hull shines, no paint/finish fade, the bottom of the boat (see pic) is near flawless fiberglass condition. All gauges (even the dash clock) and lighting work as they should. Some small imperfections (mark or minor scratch(s) on deck top sides. Rub rail has normal expected nicks and marks from docking, loading, unloading. Original extremely nice teak transom platform that instantly detaches with (2) stainless release pins (this also helps for garage storage lesser length) Marine heat/sound reduction insulation installed inside of motor cover. Blue Bimini top that is removed with s/s detent pins, this is a taller top so you are not having to duck underneath it all the time ? about 6?6? off boat floor deck. Aluminum single axle trailer is included - details listed below.

I think you would be hard pressed to find a comparable condition boat of this age that has less than 50 hours on the motor since overhaul, and the upgraded unique closed loop freshwater cooling system that this boat offers. There are several older ski boats with 500-1000 hours and much more that will require expensive overall down the road. Those boats are also limited for all intensive purposes to fresh water use only. This is an extremely low engine hour boat that can be used in all types of water, fresh, brackish, and even full salt given it's freshwater cooling system and after use flushing design feature.

MOTOR:

350 GM TBI fuel injected full new motor replacement in 2014 (full overhaul in 2018 due to over-heat which is why the new cooling system WITH stainless strainer basket was installed) 46 hours since 2018 overhaul. Subject to possible slight increase if used in the interim.

2020 upgraded stereo:

Fusion Marine MS-RA70 head unit (279.00) full blue tooth and USB compatible ? (4) JL Audio Marine M770-CCX-CG-TB speakers (479.00 per pair x 2 pairs). These are the 7.7? ?M? series upper tier JL speakers not their lesser ?MX? series. 5 channel JBL Marine 1800 watt separate amplifier (479.00) with single JL Audio M8W5-CG-TB subwoofer (249.00). All JL speakers are gloss black housings with titanium classic grills.

Boat has a blue (same color a Bimini top) outdoor storage cover. I have not used it in quite sometime as the boat is stored in my rear garage.

Trailer is a 2003 Aluminum Magic Tilt. Trailer is older but in nice overall shape, and excellent mechanical shape. 3 month old Carlisle Ultra CRT tires load range-E 10 ply heavy duty tires (not the typical 8 ply load range-D tires) with 3 month old 15x6x6 6 lug aluminum wheels with gloss black inner contrast. Both tires and wheels have less than 30 miles on them. Spare tire with standard galvanized rim, new H.D. jack with large roller wheel, new winch and bow strap, new bow roller and center keel roller.

I bought the new black bunk carpet to re-carpet the bunks but have not done so yet, new bunk carpet is included.

I am sure I am missing a few things, boat runs perfectly smooth and I encourage serious buyers that are welcome to go for a sea trial at our local ramp that is about 5 minutes away.

*for some reason the ad format will not let me enter the length and beam in proper numbers. The boat is 20' 7 inches in length and the beam is 7' 3 inches. The single cell fuel capacity is 34 gallons.

This is a NO-RESERVE auction - bid with complete confidence as I am a 100% perfect feedback classifieds board seller for almost 20 years now. I have sold numerous higher ticket items - always a great transaction.
