Hello all,
Been checking this forum for many months and I've decided to register and post a couple of questions I have, and contribute where I can.
I have not owned a Nautique so far, but I hope I will be able to do so soon.
I do however love these boats...been skiing behind them for many years and have had the pleasure to drive them. I just love them.
I only have a couple questions for a start, which are mostly to satisfy my curiosity than anything else...
What kind of gauges do you prefer? Analogue or digital? I've had experience with both and I must say while the digital ones give you lots of information and have lots of capabilities, the analogue ones also look so nice and so stylish....(and they don't just stop working like my friends speedometer did on his 2002 SN...and like many others have experienced, as I found out from a search in the forum...)...Well, what do you think?
And, speaking of gauges and speedometers, I believe that older Correct Craft boats had speedometers that actually measured speed in knots. That was the case with the 20+ year old boat I learnt to ski with, and I believe it was a CC one. It definitely looked like one, but I was too young to care about it then.
Nowadays, CC uses the MPH/KPH format....I understand the need for MPH as tournament water skiing speeds are set in MPH...and I guess KPH is to help us Europeans. One has to admit though that the nautical mile is for just that, to measure distances at sea....and the knot, to measure speeds at sea, and this MPH/KPH thing looks odd...lol. It kinda puts me off, but with a boat this great I could care less...Plus I could just calibrate the thing to show MPH as Knots...
So, just to satisfy my historical curiosity, am I right to believe that older CC had speed measured in knotes....and if so, does anyone recall when CC switched to MPH/KPH layout?
Thanks for your input, in advance
