    Wanting To Buy: 1997+ Ski Nautique, Sport Nautique, or Air Nautique

    Hi guys, relatively new here so my apologies if this is in the wrong section. Been looking to buy a direct drive tow boat for a couple of months now. Unfortunately missed out on two opportunities over the past few weeks that I should have capitalized on earlier. Located in Massachusetts but willing to travel anywhere within 12 hours. Cash buyer with a budget around $14-$15,000. Any leads on boats for sale is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for any help in advance,

    Matt

    Why the 97+ cutoff?

      I just like the look of the "bubbleback" models versus the "slantback" ones. Also, it seems more models have the GT40 engine, which is also one of my preferences.

        If you are interested in skiing the bubble backs have a noticably better wake on the ski Nautique's but the wake gets worse for wakeboarding. For the Air/Sports there wasn't much change between the slant and bubble backs as far as wakes go and if you ski and wakeboard those boat are a great do it all boat.


        Cool, I have a slant back (1995) Sport with a GT40 for sale if you decide to widen your search. I'm in Westchester NY, so it's a bit of a drive but the boats on a new trailer so it'll tow home easily.

          Awesome, thanks for the info. I've had your boat bookmarked for a while so I'll keep yours in mind.

              Thank you for the offer but I've already purchased a 2000 Sport Nautique. Good luck with your sale!
