2002 SANTE - my dream boat

[scaley]

Hey everyone, beyond happy to be writing this thread. Wanted to share that I've finally achieved the goal I set out for over 4 years ago. After seeing the 2002 brochure pictures for these boats, I new I needed to have a SANTE in the same black gelcoat color scheme. I searched and searched nearly every day, missing out on a few that I just wasn't quick enough to hop on. It stung every time. Well, a few weeks back I made the 12 hour drive to North Carolina to pick up not only a boat with the same black color scheme, but THE brochure boat itself. It came with a large binder of paperwork proving this and nearly a full service history which I was elated to see. Overall the boat is still in excellent condition for being 21 years old and I'm planning to give it a full detail next spring to bring it back to like-new condition. Our season is almost over here in Michigan but I was able to enjoy it on labor day weekend before pulling it for the year. She's found herself the best home possible and I'm looking forward to many many years of enjoyment. Happy to officially be a part of the Nautique family!

That's a very nice! Hope your interior is in better shape than mine that I found a couple years ago.

I remember lusting after that model as a kid reading wakeboard magazine! So sweet. I ended up getting a 2005 Black SANTE as my first "on my own" Nautique because of this exact boat, which is now yours... Very cool. I sold mine a year ago after 4 or 5 great years. and I'm heading to pick up our new to me one Monday. Will share in the thread when we get it.
