This is to help with the differences between late 1990's and early 2000's Correct Craft boats, of the open bow variety, that were 21 feet, 2 inches long, without the platform.
They were commonly called "Sport Nautique" or "Air Nautique" in the direct drive version of the hull, and Super Sport, or Super Air in the V-drive version.
The hulls were basically the same, except for the "Pro Air". More on that boat later.
I believe the "Sport" was the first boat of theis group to bcome available, in the early 1990's. Wakeboarding had not really come on strong, yet. The "Sport" was developed as a boat that had an open bow, and a good ski wake, that was a little larger than a Ski Nautique.
In 1995, the same basic hull was converted to V-drive, and that became the "Super Sport". It was also designed to have an adequate wake for skiing.
In 1997, Correct Craft introduced the TSC (1) hull on the 19'6" Ski. This boat is important, because it was so far ahead of the competition that Correct Craft could focus more development on wakeboarding.
In 1997, Correct Craft introduced the "launch control system", ballast tanks, and also the "Flight Control Tower". They also started to call Sport, and Super Sport boats, Air Nautiques, and came out with different graphics, and decals for the Air Nautiques.
The boats remained the same. An Air Nautique is just a Sport Nautique with ballast tanks, a tower, and different decals.
A Super Air Nautique is just a Super Sport Nautique with tanks, tower, and decals.
Correct Craft also hit a "home run" with the Super Air Nautique, in the fact that it generally had the best wake shape, in the opinion of the majority of professional wakeboard riders. This was the same hull that was developed in 1995, and was continued in use until 2005, or 2006? Some body tell me when the "new" 210 came out.
In 2003, Correct Craft introduced three new boats, and discontinued the Sport. The new boats were the 206, the 216, and the 226. They also added the 196 to the Ski Nautique's name, and tried to drop the "Super Air" name from that boat, and since there was only one boat that length made, they called it a "210". There was an out cry from customers, and dealers, and by early summer of 2003, Correct Craft had shipped new decals for the "210" renaming them "Super Air 210" again. Still the same basic hull used in 1995.
The Pro Air Nautique has the same overall hull dimentions as a Sport Nautique, but it had a "notch" molded into the hull that allowed the boat to sit stern low at wakeboarding speeds. This made a bigger wake, without adding additional ballast. It was a good boat, but when it was developed, V-drive boats had already become the customers choice for wakeboard boats.
There were some changes in the top side of the hull of the Super Sport/Air from 1995 to 2006. but the bottom remained the basically the same.
