Question about NSS launch

[sc8tt]

Was there a time in 2013 when nautique released a NSS that looked like this? It's on a 2013 230. Is it possible this is from the factory? Or no?

Looks like this boat came from the factory without the NSS system. Then at a later date the owner/dealership added it on with nautique parts. I could totally be incorrect here, so someone may jump in and say otherwise, but that would be my guess.

Mine came from factory like that.

I think that answers my question. Just to clarify, yours is from factory but doesn't have the cap that make it look all pretty? It looks raw like this one?

Some of the early 210/230 NSS systems did not have covers. This one is likely an early factory installation, or an installation by a dealer after the fact.

Some people had the plates painted or powder coated to match the hull, which made it look much better.

Here's an example:

Yup , no covers from factory that year.
I should get it painted looks good like that

Wasn't the cover a 2014 addition?

So, if I add NSS to a 2013 this spring...will it look like the first pictures or more like the new ones with the covers?

Added nss to our 13 210 and it looked identical

It will not have the covers and will look just like the pic above. The covers will not fit on a 2013 and older 210 because of the swim platform location. They changed this when the hull was tweaked in 14. I just went through this last summer. When it's all said and done, they still look pretty good without the covers and look like they are supposed to be there as opposed to an aftermarket system or something else. The finish is the same on the NSS the hydrogate and FAE surf pipe anyways.

Than you! That's what I figured. Regardless of the metal finish, the performance will be the most important part. Come on warm weather.

If it bothers you, you can easily have the metal painted or powder coated to match whatever it is you want it to match for very little cost.
