1994 ski nautique

[hladyb]

whats the difference between a ski nautique and a sport nautique ive got a skin on my boat that's the way I bout it and and the trailer says sport nautique but I beilve the boat may b a ski nautique

[hladyb]

ive got a pile of questions about this thing

Biggest difference is the Sport had an open bow and is 21ft.

There is a version of the Ski Nautique that has an open bow but you have to climb over the dash to get to it. Google Ski Nautique Open Bow and you will see the difference.

This one is open bow with a swinging window and a step up to the bow . 2 front seats that the passenger seat roared to face backwards

Maybe an air nautique ? Any info on the packing glan if it will cause a shimmy in the boat ?

[Blamey]

I've never heard of a packing gland doing that. I wouldn't think it would.

Can you describe the shimmy.

What you is the boat? Do you have a picture?

See the attached pic. Does the walk through look like that? Does it have the gap below the windshield. Or is it closed.

Ski Nautique open bow looks like this, still open but no gap below the windshield. The boat is also only 19 ft vs the Sport which is 21.

Vibration when driving is most likely a damaged prop. But could be another issue. Check the prop to see if there is visable damage but even if it looks fine it could be bent.

Air Nautique and sport Nautique are the same boat. Air has the tower. Post a pic and we can help ID it.

Shimmy is in the floor and the prop does look bad I hope it’s thats because sounds like a world of problems if it’s not

[hladyb]

My profile pic is my boat . I don’t have any interior pics

Does the boat shimmy when not in gear? If the shimmy happens only when in gear then it's probably the prop or shaft.

Get a new prop and check the shaft for alignment.

If you let us know how you plan to use the boat we can recommend props.

Boat is a Sport Nautique. Very good wakeboarding boat. Also has a nice tower on it.

It's a very nice boat is you can get it running well.

Yea I’m expecting it to just be prop I’ve got 2 a 3 blade that’s installed and a 4 blade . The guy I bought it from said the props were all mint . That was a lie . Both are in rough condition What would a replacement 3 blade price range from ?.would hate to buy a new prop tho to find out it was just alignnnet. . So this would be a 20.5 ‘ sport nautique ? . Passably an air nautique because of the tower ?
