    If not a Nautique...

    Just wondering, if you couldn't have a Nautique, what would you have... If CC didn't exist, what would you have gotten... If CC wen't out of business, what would you get... If you were forced to buy another non-CC boat, what would it be... In other words, what is your #2 Comp. Level Inboard Boat Company...

    As for myself... I have to be honest, and w/o CC, I'd have no one to be loyal to, no company that stands out above the rest in regards to pride and honor, and I'd have to say, that I'd probably go to the dark side, and work my way towards a MC...

      Sanger. Then probably Malibu w/ Scarpa plate. I can't stand wrap-around winshields though and would have a custom one created or one from the late 80s/early 90s.

        I'm also hugely opposed to the wrap around windshields. I'd hate to have to stand up to grab the dock, rope, ski, etc. It also makes the Bu's look more like an IO on the water (sorry bu guys). The RLXI is one hot looking rig though.

                They pulled the Worlds in -91, and they still build them like they always have.

                  I must say...the Malibu's were looking quite nice at the boat show. I'm not a fan of the new MC's, however I enjoyed them before the "tri-hull"

                    If Correct Craft didn't make the best boat in the world I would go with BU. But with that said, thank God I don't have to.

                        My 96 Ski nautique would have been a Mastercraft and the 2006
                        (windshield and driver seat comfort aside) would be a Malibu Response LXI.

                          I owned a BU (VLX) for 3 years, bought it new. I would never go back. You will never be able to come close to match the wake of a 210 nor do they feel as solid. If Nautique was no more I would go Mastercraft. The X1 or maybe new X2 after it's proven.

                            I'd probably go with a 205/X-Star/X-2/X-1.
                            Ummm, I\'ll take the REAL 210 please. Thanks.

                              It would be an MC, but I would feel like I would be compromising...

                              Long live the 210 !
