Selling my very good condition 1979 Ski Nautique, I am the second owner. I bought this boat in 1983 and have taken best of care keeping it very good condition. I've kept it as stock as possible, this is a very nice boat that runs very well and strong. It's a great wakeboard boat as the wake if firm and well formed.
I've done quite a bit of work over the years keeping the boat in nice shape.
Solid State Alternator and Petronics Electronic Distributor pick up and coil upgrade are the only non-stock system changes.
I change the oil and filter every end of season; I started using with zinc oil when this dropped out of std oil years ago.
I've stored in mild heated garage most of its life and always kept it under a covered shore station in the lake during the boating season.
I never taken it off Bass Lake in Indiana. This is also the lake where the original marina was located when purchased new.
I've changed the trans oil about 5 times over the years, pulling the screen and refilling with type A fluid. The trans works perfect.
Many new parts over the years, the list is quite long. I like working on my stuff and keeping it nice, many of these changes I did because I felt it was time and I wanted to do it.

A few years ago, I decided to do Cylinder Heads,
I installed upgraded heavy casting 202 heads, all new SS valves, 3 angle seat grind, new retainers, rocker arms and push rods.
Van Senus machine shop in Highland IN did the heads, they are a very reputable engine shop.
