2011 Sport Nautique

[oakfu]

I haven't seen too much about the new sport nautique on planetnautique. I was wondering if nautique has been selling many of these? I rember last year everyone was talking about getting their 200 delivered and showing pictures but I haven't seen much on the new sport. Maybe I have missed the posts?

The word on the street is that SN and Sport 200's are selling faster than they can build them, but I haven't seen a Sport owner out here yet, or a non-promo 2011 SN200 for that matter? Naturally, not every Nautique buyer is aware of this site, but you'd think one would pop up by now? I'd like to hear feedback on Sport.

Just got delivery of my new Sport 200 last month. Sold my much beloved Malibu Sunsetter.
The 200 is for real. Great ski wake, surfable and the wakeboard wake looks good but we haven't boarded behind it yet. Still getting used to the boat. The fit and finish is first class both inside and out. CC's attention to detail is amazing. Everyone loves the vision out the front while driving. No need to adjust the seat so that you look over the windshield. Handling is superb, and in this department gives away nothing to the old direct drive BU. It's obviously not a big boat so storage is somewhat limited. Ski locker under the aft starboard seat is good, but you can only fit 2 skis in there. For us "ski first" people, a ski rack instead of two wakeboard racks would be a good idea.
My understanding is that the model is selling very well. I think production is struggling to stay up with sales.
If anyone has any questions about the boat.....fire away. I think I can be pretty objective.

I guess I better take some. Gunmetal metallic with silver metallic and silver cloud bottom. Understated but very cool. Will post pictures as soon as I can.

Have you put a barefoot boom on it?

[Dinsdale]

No, I haven't. Too old to learn!

Roswell makes a swivel ski rack with the same mount that you can replace the board rack with. My dealer swapped one out at no additional charge so we have one board rack and one ski rack.

I was in Orlando last week and did a plant tour, there are more sport 200's in production than any other model. Apppaently it is there number one selling model this year. It is funny there is so little feedback thus far from actual owners. We take delivery of ours next week hopefully.

Sick boats. Not a huge fan of the puzzle piece type graphic. If I had a choice I would just do the chromax air logo instead

How close are the beam and width of the sport to an older 210 boat? Looks great. How is driving with a dash like that?

[Dinsdale]

Not sure about the 210 comparison. As for the seating position, it is amazing. Normally the binacle takes up about half of the windshield. With all the info pushed to one side you have an unobstructed view forward. The instruments are also much easier to read without a steering wheel in the way. First time I saw it I thought it looked goofy, but having used it, it's great!
