    New 2007 Nautique 216 Team

    Well we pulled the trigger this weekend on a brand new 2007 Nautique 216. Paper work isn't 100% finalized, but there shouldn't be any obstacles.

    We won't get it for a month or so (had to order the trailer). The boat itself was just pulled out of the stretch wrap last friday so we could get a look at the interior. Don't have any pics of the boat....sorry. But here is the color scheme from the 2008 "build-a-boat" pages on the Correct Craft Website. This should be pretty close.

    This is a Team version with all the extras. Probably got more on it than I would have ever wanted...but, I am looking forward to that heater.

    This is our first "Brand New" boat. Our first was a 1988 Ski Nautique 2001. We had that for about 6 months before we upgraded to our 1999 Sport Nautique. We've had that 99 for just over 4 years. It's gonna be hard to give that boat up...she has been absolutely awesome....someone will be getting a great used boat.

    Many thanks to the folks at N3Boatworks in Indy. Mark put in some extra hours working with my family over the weekend. It's a awesome place and he's great to work with. Looking forward to a long relationship with that crew.

    Just goes to show what can happen when you start looking for a new tandem axle trailer.....evidently those don't come without a new boat....go figure... Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

      Congrats on the new 216!! Both of those previous boats look great as well. We're still using our 88 2001, but man that sport looks tempting....perhaps we should be looking for a new trailer as well!!!!

        Nice new boat. I bought a 2006 206TE last fall with 24 hours on it. I am itching to get it into the water as I only used it for a couple of hours prior to putting it into storage for the winter. Welcome to the 216 club. Where in the Indianapolis area do you use the boat? My company is based in Indy and I am out there frequently. It is a nice livable city.

          Indy area is tough for skiing....

          Early early mornings are ok on Morse...but you've got to be off the lake around 7:30 or 8:00 am. And for me, saturdays are impossible.

          Our favortie spot is west of Indy about 1 1/2....Lake Waveland. It's really small and not very well equiped....no marina or decent docks, etc....

              I'm pretty sure I almost bought that boat a few months ago! I'm up in Ft. Wayne and went to Midwest CC to look at that boat and a red/grey one. I decided to order an '08 because my dealer gave me a great deal. I have 2 pics of the boat if someone will tell me how to post them.

                I post pictures by doing a "Preview" of the post (below the quick reply box) and then you have a button to add an attachment. Would love to see the pics....

                We were glancing at the red one also....but really liked the simplicity of the blue...

                  Hope this works. As you can see they didn't have it put together yet. Still a sweet looking boat though!

                        I'm jealous, nice upgrade, it looks as if your sport was in great shape also. Let me know what you really like about the new 216 after you get a few hours on her compaired to the sport. Enjoy!

                            Well....we actually picked up the boat on Saturday. Got a couple things to tweak...seat moved back a smidge....windshield tweaked....need the tower bimini attached....and the correct trailer (this one is for a 211 not a 216), but everything looks great and we are very excited to have it in our driveway finally. The guys at N3 Boatworks were awesome....really patient with us and willing to go the extra mile.

                            Here's a couple updated pics.
