Here in MN, our gas prices have been coming down nicely, but unfortunately, we have this thing called winter that can stretch from October through April.

Dang SilentSeven, you're pushing $5 for regular.
Never mind, I've got nuthin' to complain about, wow.

(Sorry for the hijack Jeff)

I'm looking for a twin fish Nautique. Anyone know of any avaliable? Jeff, sounds like you have that market cornered. Any in need of a new home?

[NautiqueJeff]

twothatguy Actually, I do have one that I might let go. This is the first one I bought, and it has been sitting in storage waiting for us to get to it. Due to the rarity of the twin-engine Fish Nautiques (there are only four), and the strong start to this restoration (new composite stringers in place, new gas tank, replacement front deck setup from a later Fish Nautique with seating, etc.), this boat will not be inexpensive. I will also only sell it to someone who allows Silver Cove Marine to complete the restoration, or has another comprehensive restoration plan in place for the boat. I do not want this boat to go to someone who just lets it sit outside and rot. If you are interested, check it out here: https://www.silvercovemarine.com/pro...-fish-nautique

Topping off the batteries tonight, topping off the tank tomorrow, and this thing is going in the water tomorrow! Wish me luck...

I like it, looking forward to the video..!

Ran into an issue yesterday with the port engine starter. Had to pull the boat back out, and will replace that starter this week.

It started up fine in my driveway on Saturday, but when I backed it down the ramp, the starter wouldn't turn the engine. Verified that the engine turned by hand with no problems, and the starter relay clicks, so that leaves the starter.

This boat is going in the lake on Monday! Can't wait. If all goes well, it will be at my dock for the rest of the summer.

I'm just enjoying browsing through some of your restorations. Forgive me if this sounds sacrilegious but can these boats be repowered with something more modern?

[NautiqueJeff]

Sure they can. I will probably be doing that with my 1985 Sea Nautique 2700.

FINALLY, this 1980 Twin-Engine Fish Nautique is officially up and running!!!

We're ready for the White Lake Reunion!

Here's Reid, Randy and Frank cruising with me earlier today.


Reid and Randy are fine tuning the engines.


Safe at the dock!


Most videos were shot and narrated by Reid.

My son and I adjusted the bunks on one of the lifts so that this boat can sit inside the boathouse. Glad to have it out of the sun and rain.

Nice ride, pretty impressive!
I think I could ski that wake, lol
