Nautique 200

[GMLIII]

Im confused. Didnt the new Ski Nautique replace the 200?
DIdnt the 200 break all these records in the last several years?

Like you I was confused as well . The new Ski Nautique did replaced the closed bow 200. In addition to the new Ski Nautique close bow, they are offering the Nautique 200 which is an open bow based on the prior 200 Hull design . Open bow Nautique 200 retails for $79,000 vs $105,000 for the redesigned Ski Nautique

You are correct, the '19 Ski Nautique replaced the 200 (both open and closed bows for a time being). They moved the 200 molds to the Bryant factory in TN, retooled the interior a bit, deleted the closed bow option, and behold the "new" 200. From 2010 until '19, the 200 pulled many WR's. I think this is a great move by CC. The 200 is such a proven hull, there was little need to move on from it.

I think the differences probably mean more to the 41 - 43 off guys. A 105,000 or even a 79,000 boat is so far out of my universe, I dont worry too much about my opinions on them, but I did look at the walk through on the new Ski Nautique a while back and was impressed with all the skier and driver ergonomics. Those being separate from the subtle changes in pull and wake that only the big boys (and girls) would notice. This past spring I was at a clinic with Nate Smith and the topic of the new Ski came up. I was being a little cynical about it (as were a lot of people, lets face it, its kind of goofy looking) but he said if you saw one in person and skied behind it (at his level I am guessing) you would appreciate just how great a boat it is. To supplement that thought, I think the new 200 is a great idea. If you are not a $105,000 ski pro or enthusiast, it appears to be a nice alternative, tho, $79,000 is still pretty steep for weekend warriors, who I guess will continue to get by with used TSCs and earlier 200s.

I skied behind the 2019 Nautique in Orlando a few weeks ago and I prefer the 200. Only a 15-22 off skier so obviously the Nautique wasn't designed for my level of skiing.

I've talked to a few pro men and heard 2nd hand of others that definitely do not like the new 19 Ski Nautique. Could be the zero off programming and or propping. It's also kinda fugly and too **** expensive!

8m disappointed in CC for how they released the "new" 200 .it's alnalm like they've tried to trick people into thinking the new 200 is much newer than it is. Perhaps the inxreincr weight and new manufacturing facility has changed it more substantially. Hopefully they maintained or bettwr, improved on what has been the best ski boat of all time. Putting the 6L in it was a good move .Best power for that boat thus far.

They went to the 6.0 as standard power on the 200 a few years ago FWIW.
