fond memory came back today

anyone else doing something and some totally random fond memory comes back in the picture?

my cousin sold his Supra SL a month ago and has been on the hunt. dealership carries skiers/tige/MC. texted him yesterday and he bought a 2023 atx22 to replace the SL and told me they got shipped a few extras so I went to their page today to look and found this beast!!!!!

this was our old supra that started it all for us!
bought as the skiers choice photo boat in '07 as "new" boat with 80hrs on the clock. was an '06 model. skiers choice even left the wood block with wires on it that they hung over the bow railing to be "legal" during photo shoots.
we traded it in '12 for a new tige and this boat was used as the shop wakeboard boat for the summer. the feedback was an AMAZING boarding wave with the stock bags in it. sold to a family in Sun Valley Idaho I was told.

here it is back for sale again at the same price I traded it in for back 10 years ago.....
soooo many memories on that boat and what hooked us....

Very cool.
Always good to see something still kicking after all those years. I occasionally see vehicles and toys that I used to own up for sale on fb or cl and it always gives me a smile to know the next guy didn't kill it!

On another note, SL to ATX? that's an interesting progression

Pretty cool.

21', 2006, appx 550 hours, 34k is not a crazy price.

he didn't see the value in a 200k wakeboard boat when in today's world 100k gets you the same wave just not all the interior features on something you only use 40 or 50hrs/yr.

That's pretty cool. Things like that really do bring back the memories. Still looks like it's in good condition and a fair price!

I can 100% understand that.

We are fortunate to be able to put ~150 hours each year so far.

I've been on the new ATX 22, it's nowhere near the wake or wave as an SL, nor fit, finish or creature comforts. It's a decent boat for the money, I'll give ya that.

I was just talking to a friend today about crazy boat prices. We have a mutual friend that just spent about 360K on a Paragon. I guess if you have the money and it doesn't cause you any hardships, then why not? I still couldn't make myself spend that kind of extra when the boat I currently have makes a really good wave and still turns heads and causes people to wonder why I spent what I did on it. It's all relative.

Fair point, most people just come to that realization before they buy the 200k boat ;D
I rarely see people go backwards down the boat ladder.

Makes for a good used boat, not necessarily a good price for a used boat.

2yo Supra SL with 80-100 hours is just getting broken in.

got an email from prestige today. 5 months later she's still for sale now sans tribal logo on the side. probably the first sign as someone called out in the boat show thread that high end barges still selling well likely to affluent buyers but the used/entry market is slowing. OI is over 4600 now for sale. that's within a few hundred of pre-2020 levels.
price is only a few grand less than I got as a trade in '12. the last owners only put 250hrs in 10 years. if it was a launch22, I'd be tempted.........

needs the large block supra letters in chrome on the side... that would sure dress it up.

For sure! The first pic of it with the graphics looks much better to me.
