Nautique Owners Association

[97SN]

I've been a lifetime NOA member since I purchased my SN in May of 1997. I received a "welcome" newsletter, but that was it in terms of communication from the NOA. I joined NOA in hopes of staying in contact with fellow Nautuque owners and to stay up-to-date of new or improved gear, for both myself and my boat :-) There are many things about my Ski Nautique that my local Nautique service dealer knows nothing about, so I usually find that I'm on my own to figure it out -- that's usually where NOA can really help. Thank goodness for all the great information on PlanetNautique to help fill the void!

I know this is an old thread, but I started thinking about the NOA again today, and how it would be nice to have it around again. Anyone have any additional input?

I'd pay my $25 to join. I really think you and Luke have done their fob for them. I think they should just link you and Correctcraftfan to their site.

[DougPhillips]

This is one of the best sites that I belong to of all the car/boat/racing sites.

What you should be doing is talking Correct Craft into giving you the responsibility of managang the NOA. Win/win.

Nautique Owners Association

I think it would be great to see a Nautique Owners Association, I had a Mastercraft before getting our Nautique a few years ago and that is one thing I miss about Mastercraft is the owners club, just gives you some more insight and Mastercraft would plaster there name on anything to give out to members, I have a lot of left over MC stuff, cup holders, CD cases, water bottles too many t-shirts, but for $25 a year it is worth it. I would join.

I believe that CC has linked pn.com and ccfan.com to their website.

As far as the NOA, other than a hat and a patch, I don't recall that I got much out of my membership. BKH

Brian, don't forget the cool credit card looking thing and the certificate that we could frame and that wonderful T-Shirt. I joined 1 year but never renewed it after that, I just didn't see much value.

RE: Nautique Owners Association

So what would you like to see? What could make the NOA work?

RE: Nautique Owners Association

Maybe some cool gear like spuddy mentioned. I think a monthly news update from CC or something would be cool.

Oh, oh!!! What about a discount on parts?! Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

I would like to see the return of the Nautique News!

The newsletter would be cool, with updates on new boats etc, but I think it'd become an emailed version (costs so much less to produce). The t-shirt and decal were cool, although I couldn't bring myself to putting it on the boat just never fit in. I have found people love "Trinkets and trash" when you give it out free. Think of the credit cards people sign up for just so they can get a t-shirt!?! There is a sense of pride in wearing a shirt that says "Owners Club." I think we use to get a discount on Correct Craft clothing if we bought it direct from C.C.

I will admit I always have admired the M.C. owners club. They do seem to have their people using the lisc plate frames etc. The one thing now is the use of the internet. When I first joined there were not the boards like there is now with all the instant info on our boats. Maybe it's time did come and go.

I love my nautique t-shirts. i would pay my dues if it meant we got a couple t-shirts. heck, I would even pay the cost of the t-shirts but I want them to say nautique owners association. Make them something special that can't just be bought at the dealer. As a matter of fact, i still wear the NOA shirt I got when we bought the boat and the NOA sticker is still on my truck. The sticker is getting a bit old and needs replacing though.

RE: Nautique Owners Association

I'm a hat lover. I have almost worn out my 2002 Reunion hat. Unfortunately all subsiquent reunions have been in NoCal 8 hours away. I would even buy the hat.

RE: Nautique Owners Association

Might check ebay.

There are reunion hats on there occasionally.

I have some from the '04 and '05 reunion. Did not make it to the '06 reunion.

My favorite hat is my white air nautique hat I bought at my first reunion. If I am not in that hat, I am in one of my company hats or a Texas A&M cap, but 99% of the time it is the air cap.
