FCT 4 Tower on a 210?

[reeder]

Hey all, long time viewer, first time poster!
I'm a long time Natuque owner. 99 Air, 01 Air, 03 SAN 210, Just sold my 05 SAN 210. About step up to a 2010 SAN 210.

My question is: does any body have a pic of a newer 210 with a FCT 4 tower on it they would like to share? I like the FCT 3, but since I keep my boat in the garage, I am restricted to a 7' opening. So I will have to go with the FCT 4 so I can store it in my garage. Most if not all of the Nautiques down here in Texas have the FCT 3. And if I go to the Nautique website, it only shows a 230 with the FCT 4 on it.

I would really appreciate it if someone could post up some 210's with the FCT 4 tower on them. Also, any feedback on that tower would be much apprecitaed. (Do you like it? does it restrict your vision when driving and you need to look to the right or starboard side? how well does it collapse down, does it rattle, all of the important questions that you wish you would have known before getting the FCT 4. Positive feedback is great as well!)

thank you, looking forward to the new 2010 and seeing some of your sweet 210's with the FCT 4 on them.

If you're only option is the FCT3 Tower it folds down so easily I would not let that worry you. My wife can fold it down and up by herself with little to no effort.

thanks for the reply. actually my only option is the FCT 4.

[cedarcreek216]

thanks for the reply. actually my only option is the FCT 4.

Is the FCT4 your only option because of storage height or because of availability?

[reeder]

due to stoarge height. the FCT 3 wont fit in an 7' garage.

I know it's not the same as a real pic but have you done the build it on Nautiques website? Personally I would order it with a Flight control 4 if I were getting a new one myself. I really like the look of that tower on the 230's that I have seen it on. I did notice that when building a boat on Nautiques website if you pick the team edition it shows that the boat will come with the flight control 3 tower. I wonder if they require you to get that tower on all the team edition boats or if it is just an error on the website? I hope they still let the customer choose the tower of their choice.

Great point, but yes I have built it out on the site and have about 5 print off in different color designs! The problem was as you mentioned, its just a computer gen'd graphic and hard to tell what it would acutally look like.
Thanks for you feedback on the FCT 4 and the reply!!

Any one have a FCT 4 tower that can give me some positive or negative feedback on the tower? likes, dislikes? durability etc? Pics?

With the team addition you can have two choices , fct3 and fct4, except the Byerly Icon Edition 210 which comes with the fct1

Interesting Update

So my quest continues on a pic of a 2010 210 with the FCT 4 tower.

here is an interesting update that I thought I would share with the Nautique community.

I have searched high and low for one snapshot of a 2010 SAN 210 with the FCT 4 on it. Mine is on order, but wanted to see one just to confirm. just to recap, due to storge limitations , I have to go FCT 4 to fit in the 7 ft door at my house.

I've gone straight to the source, Correct Craft corporate. Im working with Cutsomer Service and Marketing to try and track down a picture of a 210 SAN with the FCT 4. Believe it or not, there is not one readily availiable even from Correct Craft. So Marketing has been nice enough to work with me to locate a picture. They are reaching out to R and D and production to locate one. So the FCT 4 is brand new for 2010, which I did not know. You lean something new everyday!

Anyway, just thought I would share that bit of info. I have been very pleased with the service I am getting from Correct Craft Corporate.
They are doing thier best to help me out!

we have one at our Belews Lake location and I am working on getting a picture of it for you. It really looks good. Keep checking and I should have a picture up soon.

[reeder]

THANK YOU!!!!! that would be great! I will keep checking! did i say thanks yet?

[Latonkaboarder]

Reeder, have you been able to find a pic yet? If so can you post it up here? I would love to see it.

Whitelake did you guys get that pic from Belews?

[whitelakerider]

We are still working on getting that picture. We are having to contact the owner of the boat to get him to send us one.

[reeder]

I finally got pics!!!!
Thank you to Correct Craft's Marketing dept, Whitelake Marine, and their customer who was gracious enough to take pics and send my way. I got permission from Whitelake, CC, and the customer to post their boat. From my understanding, this is the first 2010 210 with the FCT 4.

I tihnk it will look really good rigged out with tower speakers, bimini, and board racks......


there are 3 of the 210, one is a 230 i found on the net out of canada.
and one is a pic in my 05 SAN from the Brazos River last season, where we ride, just thought I would share a little piece of happiness as we gear up for the season!!!

So is this tower and the FCT-3 from Roswell the only towers you can get on a Nautique now?

I think they have taken a huge step back from 2008-2009 when both the original FCT-1 and the FCT-2 Titan were available options.
