    The mean green machine.

    Hey everyone, I'm Dan and I'm new to planetnautique.com, however I am not new to Nautiques. Before my new 2008 I previously had a '98 SuperSport, and most recently a '01 210 TE. Because I don't have a trailer yet I'm limited to the Butler Chain in Orlando, but I don't mind for right now.

    As of yet the boat is still stock except for the extra Fly High fat sacs I've bought: (1) 720 LB'er, (2) 440 LB'er. It makes for one of the sickest waves I've seen behind a boat, and the ZR6 motor handles it with ease.

    The pictures were taken on my iPhone so the quality is not the greatest, but they'll do for now.

          RE: The mean green machine.

          Thanks for the replies. They had a whole line of 08's at SECC and this was the one that caught my eye, and after test driving the Air 210, 220, and 230 I found that the 220 handled the best and provided the cleanest wake. The 230's wake became too troughy around 21-22 MPH's, and even with the ZR6 the 230 still didn't maneuver as well as the 220.

          For those wondering the color scheme is Peridot Green and of course Black Onyx.

          Any ideas on what I should do to the boat to make it more my own? I know it's already an awesome boat stock, but on my chain you see nothing but Nautiques and the occasional MC or Malibu so I'd really like to add something to make it a little more custom.

            Yep, same here. Jeff's been our rep for 6 years. Great team at SECC, and Mama...........what a hoot.

            We stay on little Lake Conway at a friends house off of Hoffner Dr. in the summer. I'll let you know when we're gonna be there, and you are more than welcome to come hang out and have all the free pulls you want.

            Regards! Mike

                      Dude, just ride around with the trophy on the back as shown in the last 2 pics above and I'd say your boat will stand out just fine.

                        I have a custom made light bar for my 220 i might be willing to part with. It is currently painted to match my boats colors but can easily be painted to match yours.
                        Let me know if interested and I will get some pictures.
