    Pulled the trigger today!

    After years of looking/discussing/shopping for new/used boats, the wife and I hit the boat show with the intent to buy a boat. I went in thinking a VRide Malibu based on price point and features. Wife and I looked at only Malibu and Nautique and after a couple hours signed on the dotted line for a ..... 2011 SAN 210!!! Holy &#!@!

    Just had to share the excitement! Have a great weekend. I sure am!!

        No pics because it only exists in our heads right now. Looking at an April build and May delivery at this point. Not sure how to post design pics from the website. Team edition. Went with the green hull and stripe with the rest white. White tower w/ speakers and board racks. We added heater and the Nautique guy threw in the patterned snap out carpet. Trailer will be twin axle (green) with diamond plate. Wife loves that shade of green and the second she saw it, game over.

          Be sure to get disc brakes...both axles if possible.

          You are very lucky to get even a May build date. I went to the factory in December and it is getting quite busy there. Maybe your dealer had already booked the space.

          What brand is your trailer?

            Dealer did have a spot reserved for a store boat. Had he not, I think the plant is booked into June with July delivery. Good sign regarding the economy. He was selling quite a few boats this weekend.

            We did get the full bling trailer. Twin axle, four disc brake. I believe it's a Phoenix as they produce those here in Michigan. A Ramlin would run about a grand to ship here.

              Hey congrats! First Nautique I take it? The quality on those boats is unbeatable. You'll soon see why there is such a loyal fan base. Gonna be a long wait for you, but it will be well worth it, as you'll be happy for many years.

              I had a 210. The quality of those boats is just unbeatable. Enjoy!

                    That is exactly who we bought it from. Have spoken to them over the past years while lusting for a boat. Didn't think I was going to get a new one, but what the heck, life is short and boats are cool! Honestly, it feels like I have known them forever. Great people and really seem to love what they do. Looking forward to the entire build process.

                      When you get it make sure the bow speakers are on an amp. Lots of times they are run off of h/u.

                          from what i understand they sound better and last somewhat longer. unless i'm mistaken nautique currently runs the 210's with 2 polk 4 ch. amps. 4 towers, 4 in boats, and a sub=9 speakers less the bow's. you can run the rear 4 boats on 1/2 and the bows on 3/4. it's not a huge thing, but can make a difference.

                            Congratulations, it sounds awesome! You'll love the folks at Silver Spray Sports, they are the best! We've done business with them for a few years but ordered our first new Nauitque (11 200V) from them over the winter. Can't wait for summer to get here!
