MY NEW SV-211

Air 196? You must mean the Air 206, cuz the ski 196 I don't think can compare to anything else...

There is an Air 196.

[FatBoy]

Yes my buddy has one. It's a 2001 Air 196.

[AbunDiga909]

Oh yeah, thats right. Thats the one they only had for a year or two. Isn't it comporable to the modern Air 206, Ski Nautique Open Bow decked out for wakeboarding???

[Air206]

Air 196 has Playpen Bow not walkthrough (like SNOBs........ not Sports nor Airs)....

[FatBoy]

That's right, my friends has the playpen bow.

[AbunDiga909]

Yeah, but then the changed the SNOB to have a walkthrough and there was that whole big thing about how great that boat was and how its the only ski boat with a walkthough that is competition level. At that point i think they changed the name so it was called the 206 not SNOB anymore... Thats how I view the story, CC may view it differently though.

The boat has changed - it is longer. The Airs' length have changed (ProAir, Air) over the years .... So have Ski Nautiques been different lengths 196, 176's and now 206's. It seems as though the name changes are made to more easily identify hulls and years. You sound like my buddy that calls all skiboats and I/Os "runabouts". Since he sails, anything with a motor and a steering wheel is the all the same. All the rest is meaningless detail.......... CC, Malibu, MC whatever!!! He would not appreciate this site and it's participants! Ha!

[AbunDiga909]

Air206, Yeah I see now that my reasoning was totally off, like always... but I still kinda see the connection. Whatever, I understand now... thanks everyone....

And FatBoy, sorry for hijacking your thread :oops:

AbunDiga-
Kool response - You have wisdom beyond your years!

I think we all need to get a pull behind Fatboy's 211 - Are you up to "Taking it on the Road" FatBoy?

[FatBoy]

I don't know about taking it on the road, but if you come to me I'll give you a tow.

[Air206]

Thanks! We will we coming down to the Burlington/Graham location of White Lake to pickup our new 206 next week..... what a way to spend Easter Weekend!!!

Air206, you are in for an awesome boat. I can hardly contain my enthusiasm about my 206.

Enough said.

[FatBoy]

I got my 211 back from White Lake Marine Friday after they installed Perfect Pass, XM Radio, Bimini Top (Tower Bimini's brand), and did the 25 hour service. Man I don't know how I made it all these years without Perfect Pass, that is great. The XM Radio works great, I got the Delpi Skify and I have a docking station in my truck and one in my boat. The top is the best quality top I have seen, I love being strapless.

Great looking boat. I had a real hard time choosing between the 211 or 210. I don't think I could of gone wrong either way but went with 210 because we were looking to wakesurf more. I realy liked all the storage the 211 had and the built in cooler. Good luck with the boat.
