i saw it and im disapointed. WHY,....WHY,...WHY,.......can they offer complete colored decks for direct drive but not v drive???? i just dont get it. they read this site so they know what the consumer wants. what is the deal???

Add to that if you want a new 216v your stuck with the Roswell tower. It was mentioned several times on this site that the Roswell would be an option, you could opt for the Titan or Roswell. Guess that wasn't the case either.

I'm sorry but I just don't understand why a colored deck is that important, I would way rather opt for performance and wake quality than a colored deck. That is so far down the list it doesn't even really matter that much. Just my opinion :grin:

The 216v video on the new site says the FC3 is optional, where did you read that? The interior in that boat looks really cool. I'm starting to like it alittle more now :o

The FC3 ( Roswell) is standard on the 216v, the rest of the v - drive models have the 3 different options.
Soon there will be a 226v also with the FC3 standard, or so I have heard.
I believe when they say optional on the 216v, it means either with or without a tower.

^That's a bummer for the 216v owners...I hate to complain, but that tower it awful

When you go to "build a boat" section it only shows the Roswell for the 216v, take it or leave it. Its a shame because I would very seriously consider that boat with a Titan tower. I think introducing a new 216v model (which is a great looking boat) and offering only one radically different tower option is a pretty risky move. And to offer it in powder coated black is a whole other can of worms. I'm sure I can speak for quite a few when I say black powder coat fades, mine has been re-powdercoated after just three years. I would have at a minimum expected a Roswell tower to be polished alluminum.


As far as the colored decks. IMO they are cool, I would probably opt for one when ordering a boat. I don't see what the big deal is for CC to do this. You shoot the hull the same way you shoot the deck, color first, what's the big deal. If they can do it on the direct drives why in the world can't they do it on the V drives. Jeff, I'd be curious as to what CC's answer is on this.

From Correct Craft,
"Pictures barely do this boat justice. It's unlike anything else on the water, and must be seen and experienced to be believed. Sit at the helm to appreciate its unique beauty. Stand at the platform to comprehend its artful 3-piece design. And inspect the new optional patent pending FCT3 tower to discover its sweeping lines and easy fold-down design. The Crossover Nautique 216V is the next generation in crossovers. And only Nautique could build it."

Does this mean it's an option?

[SkiTower]

It means you can get the boat without the tower if you choose

[wake_fun]

Got it, no other tower options............

The tower is not powder coated, it is a special PPG paint that is suppose to be way easier to maintain and have a nicer finish which will last longer than the powder coat.
They have been making towers for over 10 years now and have done ton's of product testing with different products.

no colored decks on a 85K$ boat. ? ****.

no colored decks on a 85K$ boat. ? darn.

Wrong. Color striping is available on the decks of the v-drives and the technical/engineering reason for why it stops where it does has been posted here before. It's not because it didn't *occur* to them. Give the designers & engineers some credit for God's sake. They've heard the wishes for colored decks and answered with a solution.

In other news, I am a 230/236 man myself but that 216V is one tasty morsel when configured right. I predict that is going to kind of be their dark horse this year. I like it a lot.

I also just noticed something.

226 dropped. Gone. At least from their Web site. Details?

[SkiTower]

I was told the 226 is coming mid year
