I searched for right inboard boat for three years. I wanted something affordable. I wanted something that made a nice wake and I wanted something red. I kept hearing about the older Nautiques making excellent wakes for wakeboarding. I ride a hydrofoil (Ski Ski) so wake is important to me too. Finally this boat showed up in Wichita KS. I couldn’t believe my luck. It wasn’t just red, it has reverse gel coat scheme which makes it really red. 237 hours and the price was right. Within a week I was made the trek from Wisconsin down to Wichita and have never had even a thought of anything resembling a regret. The styling and color scheme give it sort of a hotrod look. I think I can speak for my entire family when I say the boat was the best investment we ever made.
Photo number 2 is an updated photo from the rest. This photo is about 8 years newer and shows some of the updates that we’ve made. The original side and back graphics were fading badly so I made new ones that are based on the original design but done in gold leaf. I like to replace the graphics every couple years so the sun fade doesn’t get too bad. The gold leaf looks really good against the shimmering water. Especially when the sun starts going down.
