Looking to buy a 21' Open Bow Jet Boat like a Commander, Ultra, Eliminator or Carrera type hull after 18 June.
I've looked through the normal sites like FB Marketplace and other sale sites and was just seeing if anyone had anything not listed that they were thinking about selling.
Moving to Havasu next week and want something I can use during the weekday there and the lower river on busy weekends.
Budget is up to $25K cash.
Thanks

On FB marketplace. Asking 31k. Listed a month ago. I bet 25k would do it.

I MAY be listing my 99 Carrera 205 Elite for sale in a few weeks. My old boat is up for sale and for sentimental reasons I might buy it back. That thing definitely needs a lot of work so I need to put eyes on it before I make a decision.

Just giving you the heads up that I will let you know in this thread if I do.

99 Carrera 205 Elite
Marine Power 454, 4 bolt main, .030, just rebuilt a season ago with only 5 or so hours on it. It’s not high performance, just a cruiser.

All hardware re-powder coated through Marine Industries West.
New gauges
American Turbine jet w/ hydraulic place diverter, droop snoot, ride plate
Dual hatch rams
Interior is decent but that would be the next thing I do if I were to keep it. It’s got a few seasons left.

Lots more stuff I’ve done but will detail it if I sell.

Nice looking Carrera, again exactly what I am looking for and a cruiser is right up my alley. Please keep me updated if you decide to sell I would be very interested. Thanks

How much did that droop and ride plate change the ride? I have been wanting to do that to mine really bad!
I wish I could tell you but they were already installed when I bought the boat. It comes out of the hole easily and rides pretty nice through the chop.

Saw this one on Marketplace this morning.
Hasn't been registered since 2017, pump needs serviced and the wood in the back is soft.
Not sure if that would be ski locker cover or the actual floor. $21K seems a little high though I think.

I’m officially putting my 1999 Carerra 205 Elite up for sale. Just took it to Castaic lake this afternoon to shake off the cobwebs as she hasn’t been out since last August.

I’ll be posting an official add in the classifieds with all the details later tonight or first thing in the morning. Here’s a few pics from a few hours ago.

Located in Torrance, CA.

Asking 18k firm.

I like the condition of Brian's 205 Elite. Always looking at boats, even when I'm not in the market, and hopefully this one changes hands between you guys. Lots of boat for the money in today's market, any market for that matter with engine gone through and all. Best of luck.

I ended up picking up the one that I've wanted for two years now. Thanks for everyone's help in finding trying to find my new to me boat.
