Winters great now!!! Just bought a new 200

I kinda gave up on winter up here in Canada. With all the warm weather we have been
getting it started me thinking of waterskiing. So yesterday I decided to buy a new
Nautique. Im getting old at 45 so a smaller wake sounds like a good idea to me!!!
If anyone is up in Ontario and want an 03 196 look me up cause its going out to
pasture now. Since 86 I have had 5 Nautiques and after looking around the boat
show in Toronto last week Im staying with Correct Craft. Maybe after you buy 5
boats you should get a free T-shirt !!!!!

That's awesome! I drove one last summer down in Orlando, and that boat is amazing. Did you get a CB or an OB? Any pictures?

[whitelakerider]

I ordered the Open Bow. When I bought my 03 ski nautique 196 I really wanted the open bow for more room but after talking to Mapple at a tournment he
advised the close bow for serious tournament skiers since the hull was different in both boats. Now I can have my cake and eat it too with the open bow. The boat won't
come off the line till mid May. That will give me time to sell my 196. It seems I always pick the colours of the broucher boat and I did the same for this one!
It was alot more money for the metalic paint but it looks really nice in the sun. I saw a promo boat and liked the colour. No pics till its built but its the same as
the one on the front of the broucher or waterski magazine boat buyes editon. Its loaded only thing I did not get was the Chrome windshield and steering wheel and
knobs. It was alot more for that option and I was not a big fan of it. I saw a boat with that version with and without at the boat show and for some reason it just looked to much over the top in shinny chrome. Its funny how the 200 has the same steering wheel as my 03. I guess some good parts never need to be changed out.
What do you all think of getting the full throttle package with all the chrome parts?

Yes this week it should be completed by Friday. Hope everyone working on is in a good mood looking forward
to a long weekend!!!! From there Im not sure how long it will take to deliver it up to Canada.
My 196 was sold last week it will be sad to see it go after this weekend!!!

Is it on it's way yet??

Yes tomorrow (Fri) is the big day around noon!!!
They messed up on my trailer so they have to use a loaner for now but the boat is
ready to go. I will post some pics and let you know how it runs.
Just bought a new ski to test behind it!!!

[NigelC]

Good luck for today. Pity about the trailer especially as you have been waiting quite a while for the boat. Look forward to seeing the pics.
What new ski did you get??
