Default Indiana XLT-185 86 burgundy

I just bought a Power Play XLT-185 in NC & am
Trying to find out any history I can on it.
It was registered in Indiana & the guy I bought it from claimed
He got it at an estate sale, so he didn't know much about it.
From what I can see, it's in great shape, stock engine/drive.
Burgundy & white inside & out. Wondering if that rings any bells..
I've learned a bunch here already, helped me decide to buy the thing..
I'm not sure what the production numbers were on these, but
It seems they are getting hard to find & maybe I'll get lucky
And find a previous owner...
Thanks for any info..

Paul

Thanks Chrisf695,
I have seen that thread, after I looked at the boat I researched
It as much as possible & that thread & a few others helped me
Decide to go back & buy it. It runs great, really rides nice too..
I bought it to use, have a 10 & 11 y/o, they both slalom ski,
& wakeboard, our pontoon was getting run to death..
I didn't want a direct drive boat, & I loved the lines of the XLT
I think we're gonna like it..

Looks great and nice and clean....I love mine...it EATS up the chop for a boat this small and is great to drop in and use for watersports. I bought mine with intentions of it being second boat but haven't gotten to getting a bigger one yet. Does the job nicely.

You will defiantly enjoy the boat... it corners on a dime, even going at 55-60. Have fun with it! Next year though... turn that 350 into a 383!!
