New boat buyer, looking for advice

[Double D]

From a Michigan fan to an Ohio State fan, I say thank you. This forum is pretty cool with people that have owned these boats and know about them inside and out can really lend a hand to new boat owners like myself. I look forward to making the Nautique community proud with what I'll do for this old girl.

Thanks again E, see you on the water. Go Blue!!!

I hate to say Mike, but all of the people in this picture are MasterCraft owners. But we like everybody with a DD or VD. That's why we like and hang with hondaprlud.

Congrats on the purchase. O-H

It's all good, I should have known that knowing the dealer, either way I enjoy the help everyone has been so far.

Where in MI are you? I've heard pretty good things about Silver Spray up that way.

They're on the east side of the state. I'm in Grand Rapids on the west side. About 2-2.5 hours. Never been to see them. Over here we have Action Water Sports, Tommys, among others.

My company has a location up in Wyoming MI but I've never been there. I get out to Kzoo about once every 6 weeks or so.

Action is one of the best dealers around. They're super knowledgeable. They also treat everyone that walks in the same. Whether your buying an 8k used boat or a 150k new boat,you will get the same treatment . They run great dealership. Shame they ain't a Nautique dealer.

That's good to know considering the boat I bought is gonna need a little gel coat work. Doesn't look like anything major but a few scratches that look to be from docking. A buddy of mine has a PS 190 (maybe a '89 or so) and has some contacts there that he has used over the years. I will probably use them for small things that I'm not comfortable with.

Action guys are great. Premier on Gun lake sells Nautiques and have been great to work with as well. I really like the folks at Silver Spray but it's been nice having someone closer in Premier.

That's a good point actually Jon. My boat will be on Wall Lake (15 mins from Gun) so I will most likely use premier. I forgot about them.

I wouldn't bother with any gel work on this boat. Unless you are NOCD (Nautique Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) they are minor.
