    Posted: November-17-2011 at 12:53pm
Hey guys, some of you may remember a while back I posted a thread on the making of the Nautique Mini Bar, well I found a good use for the rest of the boat with this:





The story goes:

Late fall 2010 I inquired about a free 1978 Ski Nautique on Craigslist. Now typically when someone says they have a hull its got most of the parts and it just needs A LOT of work. Needless to say I was a little shocked when I showed up to find an completely stripped hull, every single screw and part was removed. Not to leave empty handed I decided that the trailer it was sitting on was worth $100 bucks in scrap metal so why not take her home? After a few days of searching I came to the realization that there were NO parts available and my only hope was to make something cool with this classic boat.


Take a look at the customer projects page on my website for more pictures & the whole story

It's funny you mention the CC / MC argument. When I debuted the bar everyone loved it, but for different reasons. The CC guys admired it for saving what would have gone to a land fill. Where as the MC guys were happy I cut a Nautique in half...

Best I've seen on that theme. Nice work. Very clever use of the luann for the deck.

I sold that one to some show skier friends. If I can find a hull I'd ask for $2k + hull cost.

Fantastic job! Use some ski pylons for the shaft of the stool and mount some boat seats on top.

That looks incredible! Ken mentioned ski pylons - I could also see a tap with a ring & finger as the handle.

That, literally, made me laugh out loud.

Great job, very creative and unique.

Oh...and don't go near my Nautique!!

some cleats and bow lights would really set that bar off, working of course, maybe even a rub rail on the edge of the wood
