This is a turn key boat, it needs nothing (maybe tightening a cleat or two...) but some premix! Great ski boat, with 3 props, 22" Stainless Michigan Wheel (power prop), the factory 23" SST, and a 24" Raker. With the power prop I have had no problem pulling up a 225 pound skier on a slalom. With the Raker and just myself in the boat, it will do 59 mph. The motor is serviced every year by a Evinrude tech, and runs great. Lower unit rebuilt 3 years ago, and also replaced coils and tuned carbs. The Shoreland'r trailer has 3 year old bearings and newer wheels and tires. Has full custom cover, also. The only reason I'm selling is because my family is getting bigger, and I bought an open bow. $4500

Nice boat, but you might not get what you are asking from this site. Looks like it is in great shape. It was built back when Baja made a boat that was worth having. http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/surf.gif
