    My new (to me) 1996 Ski Nautique

    Here is the 1996 Ski Nautique that I just picked up last weekend. I know it kinda looks like the boat Richard said he was trading, but I don't think it is. By the way, her name is Tiki.

      PJ,
      Where did you score that. Nice look. My 96 was the same color.

        I love the Miami Vice colors they used to put on these boats. Mine is Teal and Yellow. You won't see many like them around! I guess in Minnesota a purple boat is just showing Viking loyalty right! Enjoy the great boat.

          Those vikes need all the help they can get. I'm just doing my part. Son Watersports in Anoka, MN had it for sale on consignment. Very sweet. Only 317 hours on her. Not shown in the pic is a sweet bimini top and a fairly new trailering cover. A new perfect pass digital pro system is on the way.

            Looks very similiar to My 1996 except mine is/was black/black

            That being said it's a great boat and one that will be missed!

              Very pretty boat!

              I'm guessing from the "EFI" sticker that she's got a GT-40, no?

                That is correct. It's the multi-port fuel injected 351 with GT-40 heads. First time somebody told me to "hit it" I nearly ripped their arms right off. Little bit more giddy-up than my '91.

                    I don't do much boarding. So, I'm not really "down" with what type of fat sacs might work. I'm sure someone else here will have some good suggestions. I've actually removed the rear seat in mine. It's hard for people to step on and rip your back seat if it aint there.
