Looks good! A total unicorn!

I like the air graphics look but they are PITA to own - any bump on the side of the boat and oopsie...hole. :/

Can you explain the second part of your post? I'm curious why on this particular model Nautique

[SilentSeven]

My post wasn't very clear...maybe this is better?

The large side graphics are a bit problematic in that they are easy to hit/rub/touch a dock edge (padded or otherwise) or similar. My experience has been it doesn't take much at all for even a minor contact to rub a hole in the graphic.

In that sense, they are fragile.

Been a while since I posted an update on this one. The boat got a final buff today at the gelcoat shop, and I installed the graphics. It is probably going to get a Roswell Aviator tower at some point, so I went ahead and put the AIR graphics on it. Pretty happy with how it turned out!

Still need to oil the teak swim platform, but other than that, it is just about wrapped up!

The Roswell is nice. Any particular reason why you don’t want to stick with an oem FCT2?

I think the Roswell may allow this boat to still fit in the garage with the tower down.

Finally took it out for a test ride today. Happy to say it drives like a brand new boat (as it should with the low hours).

Only issue I found was a leaking heater core. I have pulled it out and have a new one on order.

Looks great. What a unique boat....

Btw, nice accessorizing with the black shirt and cap. I think you need to fly a skull and crossbones banner to complete the effect.....

Wow man, turned out great! Nice save on that boat.

I am going to call this one officially finished! Sure looks good on my lift. It is up to 20 hours so far. I could just stare at this one all day long.

I replaced the heater core this past weekend, so no more water leaks. I also replaced the stereo remote with a good used one because the display was fading in and out. I believe this boat is 100% now.

Amazing save....from the Wisconsin swamp thing to what's now almost a 'new old stock' boat. Sure looks pretty on the lift. Still going to do a tower? How long do you think you'll hold it before you sell it?

[NautiqueJeff]

This boat was sold to a family on my lake, and I got the chance to go over and perform some service on it today. Happy to see it is still in beautiful condition!

Wow, regardless of the price, you couldn't pass that one up, nice score!
Love the prop logo.
Carpet cleaned up nicely, looking forward to the unveiling.
