Pics of the "Weed" nautique

I second squam on that. pre 83, i would guess 82. that's not the original pylon either. grab that one on craigslist.

There appears to be little original in the boat besides the windshield and (broken) swim deck, and the ski pylon... actually the prop/strut / rudder look ok except for the fiberglass "repairs" around them... in any case that boat needs literally everything. I think you'd be into the boat for more money than a decent running boat, even if you start for free... hate to say it and burst your bubble but that's my take. PS you can find the year by the last 2 digits on the HIN stamped on the transom, top right.

For example: http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/763675952.html

If you don't jump on that, I just might!

Already sold...just called him...I found another one though about 20 mins away...I spoke with him and he still has it. We'll see if my father in law will get it.

If the craiglist boat was in Texas, I'd get it just for a saltwater boat.

Hollywood is right. If you could haul it off for a couple of hundred bucks there are many parts that you could sell to make some money. The trailer is worth a good chunk to the right buyer. There is a lot of other parts that could bring some money too. If it was close to me I would part is out to make some money that I could spend on a better boat.

Agreed - windshield, prop (maybe),shaft (maybe) rudder, strut, ski pylon, maybe speedometers. Then make the hull into a hot tub. I've always wanted to do that but never seen a 2001 that was in such bad shape...

Cpool, I was really hoping you'd found your diamond in the rough, but unfortunately, I think that one's
too far gone. I just would not be worth the time and money, when there are so many 82-89 SN's out there going for 4-6K. I saw two more this week. One at $4700, on at $5K. BKH

Cpool324, if you're looking for something to work on in with the 2001 hull I've got it for you. It even has an engine!

You guys are great...good find deano! As many have mentioned this sounds like something I shouldn't rush as there are many beautiful 2001's out there and more come on the market all the time. I'll continue the hunt for that perfect match and one of these days I will get my 2001.

Thanks for all the info gang, I look forward to finding one some day.

It looked like the prop is in good shap I wonder what kind of 4 blade it is?

[slob02]

I agree on the PARTS idea Hollywood mentined.............but I thik you said it was SOLD!

[harddock]

Cpool324. I have one not all that far from you. 1987, solid floors, strong running 351 PCM 250, with under 700 hours, Heads done last year, cables and hoses at 3 years ago, new carb this summer. Seat backs original and still good, bottoms redone, time for attention to engine hatch but I have skin, floor carpet redone this year, new bimini top on a new Joystck pro tower with racks and mirror. Pioneer stereo with amp, good boat cover, good trailer, runs strong, in water and being used now. Hull and deck need cosmetic attention.but looks good in the water. $7,500. Perhaps more than you want to spend but it is a useable boat that you can puff up. Southwest of Boston

Buy the prop, trash the rest. Sorry to say it's not worth your time, so sad to see old trashed boats. This is one of my favorite hulls.

[Mikes94tique]

I agree with the guys, Its kinda like a woman if she gets old and worn out! you can find a better or newer one for the money! With less headaches and maint Im debating my redo as well I will post pics soon! on a found 94 tique
