2006 Red Yamaha SX230HO (Photos) 
Posted by: mikewads
Description: I've decided to sell my Red 2006 SX230 High Output. The boat comes installed with [url=http://www.cobrajetsteering.com/Photo/JetboatPhoto.php]Cobrajet steering[/url], grey Yamaha mooring cover, [url=http://www.keelguard.com/]KeelGuard keel protector[/url], and [url=http://www.waterwitch.info/products/hourmeter.html]Water Witch hour meter[/url]. The boat has never been in saltwater and has been removed from the water after each use. The boat is stored in my backyard located in Macon, Georgia under a new metal shelter. I bought the boat new in May 2006 and have put 45 hours on it. The boat has been a blast and has not given me any trouble. The seating layout of the 2006 model is very nice with the two captain chairs. I paid $2250 in sales tax and another $800 in freight when I purchased this boat new. Money you won't have to spend if you purchase my boat. Price: $28,900 Mike W. (478) 731-5000 mikewad@bellsouth.net
