I'm (again) looking at a 2001, this time close to Tampa. Since I live in Costa Rica, it's sort of complicated to take a look at it myself...
So, is there anyone from that area willing and able to check it out for me? Ofcourse I'll compensate for time/gas and whatever other expenses made. Thanks! |

Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks already guys!
I'm gonna try to send both an email, but so far the emailsystem hasn't worked for me. If you don't receive anything, can you please email me at sander(at)flyzone-cr.com? To be a bit more specific: the boat is located in Odessa. Gonna send the messages now! Edit: skibum, your e-address is not specified, so I couldn't send you a message. One to jbear has been sent. |

Hey guys, Im out here... sorry, I have not been able to look in much lately. I am certainly close enough to go look at a boat if the info is provided... I'll take my check book with me! JUST KIDDING...J bear... sorry brother, I have no recollection of an e-mail from you because I would have definately responded. By the way I am planning to be at Jim McCormicks this week end for a record capability tournament. Ya'll keep me posted and we will go look at the 2001

Hasbeenskier, thanks amigo!
Just tried to send you a message as well, though it'll probably never arrive. Can you please send me a message, and/or contact jbear? It's so cool that you guys want to help me out. Hope it's a good boat and that we can grab it before it's gone. If we do, I'll see the three of you in Costa Rica to do some skiing here! |

Trip, I think that they are agreeing to look at it.... Not deliver it.. .. Now that would be a fuel bill.

Hi hasbeenskier,
thank you so much!!! I wonder how it'll all turn out. (If I'll get it) It will ship from Port Canaveral. Next vessel will sail around oct 7th, it sails every 2 weeks. I'm curious as well: did you receive my mail through this site or did you talk to jbear? Getting exited..! |

Thanks jbear! Almost sunday... Pretty exited already. Hope it's not for nothing!
Hasbeenskier, can you please take some pics tomorrow? If the boat is any good, one thing in particular is the upholstery that'll need to be done, so I (and probably Nautiqueskins or so) will need to know what type of skin it is. Looking forward to hearing the verdict! Thanks, good luck and have fun tomorrow! |

Update: I called the owner this morning about 10:30 A.M. He said some work related issues had come up and he did not know what time he would be free to show me the boat, he speculated 6 P.M. I knew that would be too late in the day for me but I gave him my cell number and requested he call me when he could. I was hopeful we could skin this cat earlier than that but it did not happen. The boat is about one hours drive away for me. So when he called me it was shortly after 5 P.M. he was on his way home. I told him I would try and hook up with him Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
Sorry it did not happen today but when I do catch up with the owner I will take photos and give the boat a good looking over. Hope you can be patient...bj |

TRIPSTER.....Both the boat owner and I have our own businesses. I just got off the phone with him and we have not been able to coordinate our schedules. I will keep trying.
The good news is he still has the boat. I am supposed to go out of town this week end. So unless somthing changes it will be next week..... bj |

Hey Skibum, thanks for your message.
Nope, noone has seen it yet. If you have time and would be willing to check it out please send me an email. And/or maybe contact hasbeenskier, as he might know something about availability of the seller and probably has some more info about the condition of the boat. |

Hi guys,
hate to be a nagging pain in the b*tt, but am wondering if either of you think he'll have some time to check it in the next few days or so. Would love to know whether I'd better move on and find another one or grab this one asap and make it the 3rd Nautique in Costa Rica. Thanks! |

Skibum1110 set up an appointment and met with the owner of the boat your are interested in. I met him there to offer moral support. He took alot of pictures and I am not gonna steal his thunder.I am sure he will fill you in with all the details. At this point, I will just say to you.... keep looking.
sorry it took so long. bj |

Hasbeenskier you wont steel my thunder. Trip, like BJ says KEEP LOOKING the boat was a "hot mess". The interior was destroyed, the motor he couldn't get started(bad coil).The hull was blistered all over. There was alot of chips in the gelcoat that were down to bare fiberglass. I'm going to send you a bunch of pics in a couple of different folders. Hasbeen if there's anything I missed fill us in. It was great to meet you as well...........Chris

You covered it. I do not want to come across as unkind with regard to speaking of any man's Nautique. The ony thing I have to add is NOBODY should tick off Skibum1110 because the guy looks like a pro wrestler with a hand shake like a bench vise.
