Jimbo, I noticed that you are an investment advisor too. Cool. I thiink my son, Mason, will have a great time and take some pride in it.

Thanks

Pick it up this morning! Ran great! Shifted smooth and rior os like new. Floors solid too. Exterior is faded and quite a bit of dock rash. The trailer needs to be completely redone ie.. paint, bolsters, carpet etc. Pretty straight though, does need a little straightening but not much. We test drove it and all seemed good except for the bilge pump. Wouldn't work. He said it was working last year. Got it home and we must've left the switch on because it was toasted. So, gentlemmen the fun begins!!!!

Thanks for all of your help. I'm sure I will need more.

Just the sweetness of the pull is enough to overlook all imperfections.

I will be in the gararge for the remainder of the weekend sipping a cool one and admiring my new (old) Nautique!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Todd that is a good lookin boat. My skiing buddy (83SN2001) has the same color. Did the seller come off his $6800 "bottom dollar"

Thanks guys!!! Boat ran great. Trailer is in intensive care though, but Shouldn't take too much to get it up to speed. The guy I bought it from had glassed a good bit of the floor and stringers but it semms tight.. Some areas around the engine were cracked but tight, I think I'll need to go back and seal them a little better. Need help with the faded gelcoat on exterior.   I really would like to bring on a shine if I can.

Ride on!!!

Congrats man. I know how I felt driving mine home last year, and I haven't regretted it for a second. In fact, just the opposite, it keeps pulling me in deeper and deeper :)

That is cool. I also have an 82 and love mine. It has been a good boat for me. I probably paid too much for mine but I dont regret paying what I did for it because ithas been a great boat so far.
