She is here ! !

[JoeCos]

She is finally here, was wheeled in from West Coast Correct Craft as we were doing the paperwork for the Team 226.

Here are some pics, more to come as I break her in.

It doesn’t look like there are lots of 226’ers here in this forum, so once I am all settled with her, I will do a complete review and share my thoughts and experience.

Just wanted to share the pic with all you fellow natiquers.

Wait is over – YEAH ! ! !

Sweet! Based on the title of your posts (She is here), I guess it's big sister.

You are going to love it!!

226 team

beautiful boat! I spent some time on my friends limited this past weekend, no ballast tanks, no tower, just a huge wake making boat! I am beginning to like the 226 more and more, more than my buddies 211team. It handled just as nice as my super air, held more beer, had a nice table to play quarters on etc. etc. I think I might consider the 226 team as my next boat.

Hi Joe

Nice machine. I am on my second 226 both have been limiteds.
1) 2003 ltd white hull and Midnight stripe fitted with excalibur.
2) 2004 ltd, Black Onyx hull and Crush stripe Rear tanks and tower fitted with ZR6.

Both absolutely awsome boats. I have already placed an order with my dealer (TV Ski in the UK) for an 06 but I am waiting to see if the colours are going to be different before I fully spec. This one will be a team.

I know that you will have great fun with your new boat.

Enjoy.

Nice, Great colors. The 2 tone breaks up the side of the boat, It makes it look smaller in the photo, Thats the nicest 226 I have seen yett

Joecos, I'm stoked for you. That boat is HOT!!!

AirNautique.. love the pic (of course, I'm biased).. but was curious where the pic was taken.. is that Pier32? It kind of looks like it..

Hey Jeff,

Th boat is parked directly in front of the Wisdom Dock Restaurant on the KY side of Dale Hollow. Thye Restaurant/marina are on our left, the rentable Houseboats are behind us, and the mooring area is in front of us - in fact DDgueth has a Houseboat tied up about 200 yards in front of our boat. We did not know it at the time, but have found out through PMs. We would like to hit DH about once a year if possible - the water is awesome. We like the Wisdom dock (www.wisdomdock.com) for Houseboats & services and Eagle Cove for cabins (www.eaglecove.com). It is a great lake.

Did you get over to WBC yet?

[jeffsv211]

AN211,
Thanks for the info..one of my coworkers takes his family to DH a couple times a year.. I wondered where it was at... the other place he has mentioned was Cumberland Lake.. I haven't been to WBC yet, but I did get a UPS pkg the other day with a N A U T I Q U E decal that is made from the domed letters. I'm guessing the sales guy has seen my posting!? Anyway, Thanks for the answers..

Also, both boats in the pics above are awesome... I am a little biased on the color though!!!

[clubmyke]

great looking boat !!! congratulations !!!

btw, are you going to post some pics of the wake ? havent seen any pics of the 226 wake.

[JoeCos]

Thanks Fella's,

I actually got the color scheme idea from your pics AirNautique 211 - So Thanks !

The main reason for the 226 choice is primarily the space. We are really not big wakeboarders, more like beginners, but the storage, the wide size & comfort, the handling when I demo'd the 226 is absolutely amazing. For its size, it handles great. Even on very choppy waters. All these led me to decide on this boat.

Of course, I will be posting more pics of the boat as I use it, especially the Wake. Im looking to add Tower Speakers and Another Dose of Amps to get the tunes going. That will have to wait till she has few hours on it.
Yes, it has the ZR6 and I cant wait to rev up that bad boy.

Next in line is Biminis from Towerbiminis.com which will happen this week. Then it will be Boat Cover, then it will be the stereo, then it will be the Jet Pilot PFD, then it will be the wake surf board, then the wake board, then the tools, then it will be the . . . . . . . . it goes on and on and on and on......

I will give it a full review sometime this summer.

Thanks
JoeCos

JoeCos -- Nice ride!! I love that color setup on the 226.

My fav picture is the one with the 226 in the water. The lines of the boat looks great.
