This is my personal 1993 Correct Craft Ski Nautique with over $4,000 worth of upgrades, in wonderful condition! I am not a dealer. This is my personal ski boat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a special boat, and it turns heads everywhere it goes. It has been garage kept in winter, and meticulously maintained. I personally have done all maintenance and all winterization. It has been used by me to slalom ski, and to barefoot. It has 441 hours on the engine, I put 355 on, and my friend put 86 on. That is 40 hours per year. Not a lot, not too little. Just right. I have sustained neck injuries from barefooting and that makes skiing a no-no for me now and forever. This boat is made to ski, and it is time that someone else got a chance at it. I will part with it sadly, but it should be owned by someone who will use it to ski or wakeboard, or something having to do with sport. This is what it is designed for. I will miss this boat as I have had many great days and many great memories on it. But this phase of my life is over, and it is time to move on. I might try a pontoon boat or a Jet Ski! Read my feedback, and see I am a man of integrity. Bid with confidence that I am an honorable individual who takes pride in everything he does.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The winning bidder will also get at no charge:
Heater. Already installed by me. Great for cool days. This extends your season a few weeks in the spring and fall. There us a duct that blows on the driver, and another “hot tube” that can be given to a passenger that blows hot air and keeps you toasty. Women LOVE this feature. $500.00.
Hot water shower. Already installed by me. Great for priming the wetsuit on a cold water day, or warming up after the sun has gone down. $300.00
Cruise Control by Perfect Pass. Set the cruise and it remembers it forever, or until you reset it. Just like a car.
Believe me, when you experience having this feature, you can turn a novice driver into a great ski buddy. You will ski knowing that the speed will be dead-on and consistent each and every time no matter who drives. No more arguing over speed control, and no more fear that the driver will screw up. This is a $1,000 feature and worth every dime.
In-dash CD/MP3 Player, with 10” Polk Subwoofer, 250 watt power amp driving the subwoofer. Great tunes for fun days. ($950.00)
240 HP, PCM engine, 251 cu in, V-8, 4 barrel carbureted.
Ski Nautique trailer by Correct Craft. The best. The very best trailer for a Ski Nautique. ($ 750.00)
A custom snap-on full-boat mooring cover is included. ($450.00)
A spare prop in perfect condition is included. ($400.00)
Each winter, I fogged the carbs, and all cylinders, replaced spark plugs, changed tranny fluid, changed oil, drained all water from the heater, shower, and engine block, filled with propylene glycol antifreeze, loosened the drive belts, replaced the water pump impeller, lubed the trailer, and stored in my heated garage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issues:
The only issue with this boat is one small scratch in the gel coat that is about 3”long, and a small ding in the corner of the gel coat that is 1” long. They cannot be seen from above, and have not spread in 5 years. They have never been an issue, but are quite easy to repair of they bother you. I have never trusted a shop to work on my boat, and I am no gel coat repairman, so I have not touched them. I have also disconnected both speedos, and have calibrated my tach to a GPS unit, and use it to control the exact speed. Much more accurate than any speedo, and there are never any clogging issues. This boat is a real beauty, and once won Best In Show at a Sea World Correct Craft Reunion show. You will love it.
