1993 Standard Ski Nautique

I couldn't find any of the old threads, but here are a few pictures. Nothing but white gelcoat (besides black dash). Maybe The Godfather could tell us how many were made.

    I'd buy something like that. I really like the all white hull w/the simple pin stripe.Too bad they don't make a simple wake/ski boat like that now and keep the price low.No bling(maybe they feel there is no market?). Lower h.p. base engine in that boat, I wonder??

    Must not have got enough sleep last night,I just noticed those pics aren't all of the same boat

Perfect boat.

There's an exact same one in our marina here...

I would think there would be a market for this. Perhaps especially now. People who want CC quality and especially the CC name but couldn't afford the normal payout should want in on something like this. I sure would have considered it.

I remember this model/options...I like it, seems like to me they could sell a bunch of these no matter what the economic conditions. All the bling is just more stuff to fade and have to clean anyhow. Just give us a good pull, wake and something that rides decent and doesn't fall apart... Reminds me of many models that Ford made back in 60s and 70s...

THIS MODEL WAS CALLED A SCRAPPY. ONLY CAME AS YOU SEE IT. THE PRICE I THINK WAS ONLY 18,500.00 PLUS A TRAILER. THEY SOLD A LOT MORE THAN YOU WOULD THINK. ALWAYS HAVE TO ASK WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR PARTS. BECAUSE OF THE REV ROT MOTOR.

Just saw the post I'm home now will look up the answer on Monday. Had a boat show this weekend. Had over 30,000 people looking. have a open house next weekend. very busy for this time of year.

Thanks Woody. This is what I would want to replace the '80...if it ever came to that. But like I said; you never see one of these for sale.

Thanks Andy. Cool that someone remembered this thread after a whole year. It is tempting to go look but I think my presidents pile is telling me to stick with the '80.

Ha, sounds like the person you spoke to was clueless. Have them get you the PCM engine ID... that will tell you everything about the powertrain. The standards came with the 1:1.

1.1 and reverse rotation...
ha you can see another nautique with the same colour scheme as mine sneaking there in the back..lol

needs some decals though...that bare hull makes it look like its naked...

Well, she said 9.5k with the trailer. They just sort of put together that package. It was originally a trailerless boat for ~ 7k. It looks like it even has some sort of added on perfect pass type thing if you look at the dash.

To BKH's point, it actually does have somewhat high hours. It has some kind of funny numbers stuck on it; I'm wondering if it came from a ski school or camp or something?

Ironically, an extra feature it does have is one I don't want. It has a trailer with electric disk brakes, requireing 7 pin. I just had my 2006 Jeep Liberty outfitted with a class III Drawtite and a 4 pin. I think the 7 pin round could require some extensive surgery or some extensive duct tapin', which I'm not fond of.

The boat I originally called about and actually prefer, is a 1996 176 with a back seat and everything and hopefully a less complex trailer.

So, would this powertrain be like a pre 89 SN powertrain? I know in 89 they started using the gear reduction transmition that later came out in the newer hulls. Was this actually cheaper to make, or was it more of a marketing thing? Couldn't you just make up for the lack of gear reduction with a different propeller?

The funny numbers I refer to. What would the 1012 under the swim platform represent?

Looks like it has Perfect Pass and is a really clean boat. Definitely worth the cash IMO. Also, might want to check those brakes- I doubt they are electric. Even if they are, it can't be that big of a deal to rig the car for that. Certainly not a dealbreaker.
