Hey guys , proud to say I purchased my first nautique today. Here’s the story , I live in Manitoba ( central Canada ) and have been looking for an older 210 in good shape for about 2 years now. A couple weeks ago this one came up on kijiji ( Canada’s Craig’s list ) the only problem , it was around 1850 miles away.. I tried to negotiate with the seller to hold the boat for me while I made the 2 day drive to go see it but by the next day he had told me it was sold. A couple weeks passed and while searching I noticed his listing was still active. I inquired once more and got a reply saying that the boat was still for sale. I managed to get the guy on the phone and explained that I was very serious about purchasing if he could just wait a couple days for me to get there. He sounded very doubtful but agreed to hold the boat till Friday. That day after work I drove 6 hours to the closest airport and flew to Montreal the next morning. He was in disbelief when I told him I had arrived at the airport today and agreed to meet me at the dealership. The boat was in better condition than I could have imagined. 360 hours on the ZR6 , he was the first owner and had just purchased a 2018 G23 from the same dealership. It was an interesting drive to the bank when we discovered we are both pilots and aircraft owners , which explained why he was so meticulous with the boat. Couldn’t have asked for a better buying experience or a nicer seller. He had another potential buyer that was waiting to buy it if I didn’t show up but luckily my flight was on time and I managed to make it happen. The boat will stay at the dealership until next week when I can make the long drive to pick it up. I am truly overjoyed and glad to finally call myself part of the nautique family. I only have pics from the listing but more to follow.

That is one sweet boat! Black with a ZR6 and teak platform. I’m drooling.

Very nice. I have a 05 SANTE with the ZR6 and bought it two years ago with 260 hours. I’ve been through all the maintenance and mechanical quirks over the past two years so if you need any tips or tricks, be sure to let me know and I will share.
Similar story when I bought mine. It was out of state and I had to get the seller to wait for me to get there too.
You will love that ZR6!
