    Joined the club yesterday !

    Some of you may have followed my thread about our previous boat sinking during a a storm on April 15th. I knew from the day that boat went down, I would replace it with a Nautique. Have always lusted for one, but the timing and financials never meshed. We shopped used boats for a while, but didn't find one that met our needs.

    In our search, I had several discussions with Phil Smith @ Buxton's as he was helping us look for a used boat. During these conversations, he quoted us a great deal on a new 210, but I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on a new one yet. Fast forward to yesterday and I made an appt to go talk to Phil and look at the boat he was offering. It wasn't a team model, but it was the color ( silver cloud ) that I wanted. We went for a test ride and discussed the options I would want to add. Long story short, we signed the papers around 5:30. Probably one of the easiest transactions I've been involved in. No wonder they sell so many boats. They're even going to deliver it to PK for me next week. I added the Z-5 rack, upgraded the stereo, crest carpet, dual batteries, air dam, docking lights, transome stereo remote, and a few others I can't remember. Timing works out great as we have four days off for Memorial weekend. We've known the Buxton name for a long time and have heard many positive comments thru the years. Phil's doing his best to continue the tradition. I/m excited and happy to be a Nautique owner. Sorry about no pictures, didn't think to take any yesterday, but will soon.

      Congrats!! Need to see some pics!!! Just received an email last night letting us know our new 210 has just arrived at the dealership!! Outside of having to write a really big check, the process has been amazingly smooth. Hope to have some pics this week. Then I just need to figure out how to post them ;-)

        Congrats.

        A lot of people are now not buying the "team" edition. Not everything on the team is useful for everyone. Seems like a great idea to get exactly what you want, and nothing that you do not want.

        I don't think you will be disappointed with the dealership experience either. Phil hasa great group working there now.

                  I agree. This boat with my additions is set up for our use perfectly and fit in the budget.

                    Actually no. It was getting late and I was ready to head back west and miss some of the traffic. Didn't work. Took me 1 hr 45 minutes to go from Lewisville to eastern Parker Co. 56 miles. Life's too short for that.

                      I actually wish they would do the 230 without the TE additions....

                      Buxton even started putting the "Team" emblems on the side of all of the boats, SE's included (my idea actually)....

                        That's funny. My boat doesn't have the team emblem, but he showed me other non team boats and they all had them. I'll probably get one for mine also.

                          They're putting TE badges on SE's? Interesting... I would think that would be kind of a deception tactic, of which CC would frown upon?
