Approximately 100 hours on this this 2001. The boat is in pristine condition, except for the captain chair, which kept the mice alive last winter.
I bought the boat from a dealer who took this boat back in (new condition) from a family who decided the ski nautique was not enough boat for the big lake.
I used the boat for two summers when I lived near Lake Cochituate, in Natick.
I’m nearing 60 and I own a larger lake/ocean boat as well, so I don’t get the time to use the Nautique.
I’ve kept this boat garaged and run it twice a year since. I always thought I would someday by a cottage on the lake and put the boat on the water. Or just keep it until the kids start their families a wish for a Ski Nautique.
The mouse made me realize that the Ski Nautique was not made to be eaten, it needs to live and breathe on the open water where it can eat others.
The boat, engine, transmission and steering are perfect, I can’t vouch for the brakes!
