I’m new to Nautique but not new to ski boats. I’ve owned three different MasterCraft ski boats for the last 24 years and also a Barefoot Sanger outboard, and last weekend while filling the Sanger a very pretty Nautique passed by the dock slowly with a for sale sign and 3 hours later it was mine.
Overall the boat is in very, very good condition but it does need a few items:
1) The right speedometer is missing the speed setting dial. The needle is still in the Airguide casing itself, but the knob that holds it is missing. See attached photos. Classic Boat Works seems to have gone out of business and other than finding someone with a mid 1990’s gauge that removed it for PP, any idea where I might find such a knob?
2) rub rail end cap is missing on the driver side rear.
3) Bimini recommendation. I see Nautique Parts has them. Are folks happy with bimini tops from there?
4) waterline cover. The boat is stored on a covered lift, but I like full covers with side curtains on my boats.
5) prop preferences? We are mostly slalom skiers. It currently has a 3-blade legend by OJ
Thanks for any input you may have.
