I don't know if our new friend from Tennessee is a transplant from Missouri or what? He didnt believe me when I told him all 93 model boats would have composite stringers either until he called the factory to confirm. Some guys are just naturally skeptical I guess.

HAHA, really it was just a case of me thumbing through the CL ads and seeing it with a price too good to be true. I figured it would be a nice change and the wife always wanted an open bow boat. I showed her the ad and she wanted to go look at it. Who was I to tell her no? |

While I did appreciate your answer about the 93 stringer question, you said "I've never seen a 93 with wood stringers", I didn't realize you really meant you knew without a doubt all 93 SN's had composite stringers even those built in Sept 92. And yes, I'm aware East Texas is highly knowledgeable and posts at TMC and owns a SN. He's the one who suggested I call Correct Craft. For me it's important to know about facts and not just what someone thinks they know. I think it's ironic how Joe now knows all 93 SN's have composite stringers especially since I confirmed it from Correct Craft and posted it last week. |

If airbags came standard on a 1995 Silverado, odds are..no matter when in 94 it was built my 95 will have airbags.
I know car vs boat stuff doesn't always work but it's kinda the same isn't it? |

Is it hotter down south than it is in the summer?

I have never seen a model year 93 boat with wood stringers. If the serial number on the back contains a 93 and not a 92 you should be fine.
You are totally right I was vague and wishy washy I was trying to not answer the way I was thinking which was... dude do a search it is stated no less than a hundreds times in the forums on the CCFAN site as well as clearly documented in the brouchures located in the reference section that the SN went to all composite construction in 93. I tried not to repeat my error in this post with my very terse response of 6 - it didnt work |

I think the thing that needs to be kept in mind on this site, and other forums, is that people are on here helping one another out, with information, for FREE.
You can't ask for free information, and then ask the person who gave you the free information to document his sources, and then partially insult the person, and never say thank you, and never tell the person who helped you for free whether they've helped you solve your problem |

Actually you can, and we dont really mind. And in general we would still love to meet you and hang out with you sometime. Probably even buy you a drink or take you on a pull (perhaps at the music city reunion even). But you might just have to endure an outdated joke or two in the process. |

We, here in Missouri find it rather humorous that anyone would obtain their documentation from a sales brochure.

Funny you should say that, Joe. I hadnt looked at this thread before just now. I thought to myself, how can a thread titled "what is the capacity of 90-96 Ski Nautique" have 24 posts/responses when "6" pretty much covers it. You never know where these threads will go. |

I'll take you up on that drink. I thought I did thank Joe, but directly to his email, if I did not I apologize. The reason I wanted to know about the stringers so quickly was because I was looking at the purchase of a Ski Nautique. The boat was listed as a 91 but the hull number ended in I293. It was priced right and if I wanted to buy I knew I had to make a quick decision. I did search this forum and google for an answer but nothing came up. So I went directly to Joe and he got back quickly. His answer turned out to be spot on. I just wanted to be certain so I called Correct Craft. There's a $2000 difference between the 91 and 93 SN. Many will agree the 93+ to be more desirable, at least it is for me.
