Ski Nautique model history

[h2oskeefreek]

Hey guys, I know that somewhere on here there has to be a breakdown of the history of the Ski hull. I'm looking for a detailed breakdown of models/hulls/engine options similar to this thread on TT:

http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/...=MODEL+HISTORY

Namely I'm trying to figure out what the oldest TSC1 one can get with a GT40, but would like to see the rest of the history too!

The first year TSC w/GT40 was 1997... great boat!

Try this link it has all the brochures dating back to the 40s http://www.correctcraftfan.com/reference/brochures.asp

I just found those brochures. Looks like 1997 is it. From these brochures it looks like the 176 was not offered with the GT40, but I thought I'd seen one, does anyone know if these exist? And how different was the 176 wake is it a TSC hull?

What years are the "N" graphics that look like the Nitro bass boats? I actually like those, and I believe they are less desireable.

Are you going to sell your '85 craft when you find the right Nautique? I may be interested...

A friend of mine has a 176 with a GT40. I'm guessing it was a special order.

The wake is not too different from the No Wake Zone (1990-1996) Ski Nautique, which makes sense since the 176 was developed during that timeframe, and likely based on a shortened version of that hull.

I'm looking to sell it before then. I plan to finish up the detailing on the boat tomorrow and have pics up on ski-it-again, but I'm supposed to leave to go fly fishing tomorrow, so it may not get done 'til Sunday.

Here are some pics from previous seasons on the last page of this thread. It's the Volunteer orange one, only one of it's kind.

Asking price will start at 8K.

Looks nice! The MCTT guys are going to give you grief about buying a Nautique:-) I speak from experience, you're making the right decision!

I probably won't buy right away, probably wait a few seasons.

I THINK!!!...........

1989 is when the 2001 Hull ended
1990 to 1996 was the "slant back"
1997 to 2001 TSC 1
2002 to 2005 TSC 2
2006 to 2009 TSC 3?
2010 to today 200 Hull

My 1997 Ski had the GT-40.......so that would have to be the first TSC with the GT-40.

Not all of them will.

Here is a chart of the hulls/years and motors

Not sure where I got it originally. I am also looking for a similar boat and like the 00-01 N graphics. Maybe MasterCraft people like them...
