    Checkout my Nautique Project. What do you think?

    Well finally after 14 months and 1300 hrs the boat is done. The story starts with an impulse buy of a 1984 ski nautique 2001 on my way home from work. I thought I got a deal but as with most boats from the 80s the stringers were shot. So I slowly started to cut the affected areas from the boat and before I knew it everything was gone floor motor stringers(both primaries and secondaries). This is when the project got fun used a composite fiberboard instead of wood and started from scratch. Only reused the windshield, gas tank and rudder. Well what do you think?

      Looks great! Very nice interior work. Why didn't you carry the rub rail all around?

          For something different. I figured the platform protects the back of the boat.

              Nice work, I'd like to see more pictures of the stereo equipment. What did you use on the exterior?

                    Other than the color and finish, very nice work. The interior is well done with a modern look. Again, the color (and tower) turn me off (your asked!).

                            How much did the "Correct Craft" and "World Record Towboats" stickers set you back. BTW, love the interior and as others, not enthused about the color choice of the exterior. Needless to say, great job.
