Here's a Ski Nautique 2001 with just 57 hours on it. The boat got lost/blocked from view and forgotten about for years. It now belongs to a friend of mine and he wants to sell it. He can't enjoy it because of back surgery.         ------------- Tim D |

That is really cool!!! What year is it? I thought I found a Garage Queen when I found my 95 with 99 hours on it! This boat is twice as new. I hope he gets a good price for a very nice boat. Bad time of year to sell though. I don't see it listed here? How much? Mark ------------- |

So Tim, what's the deal with the replaced gauges at 50 hours? ------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6t5e3bu" rel="nofollow - 04 Air206 http://tinyurl.com/9urzgls" rel="nofollow - 91 Barefoot 78 SkiTiq |

+ faded trailer, replaced wheels, tongue jack, etc. Looks more like a 557 hour boat. |

Yeah I don’t always agree with Hollywood but when Hollywood’s right, he may be right. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

Unless it is just bad lighting , the dog house and observer seat stripes are different . Still a very nice boat though. ------------- Feels like I am hanging 10 but in reality - probably hanging 6. |

Looks like an 88, however I don't think the gauges on an 88 have a white face. ------------- 1989 SN 2001 |

| The bezel on the fuel gauge says it’s not the same age as the fuel gauge. Take a few Cleveland’s off of the $10k price and it might make sense as a very nice boat for someone here. Nice clean older boat as many have said. |

I agree. Wheels often get replaced for ease of swap with tire wheel packages though. I’ve bought tires with new wheels for about the same price as buying tires and having the tires mounted locally on existing wheels. Fade on the trailer looks like dirt (maybe). Tongue jack is hard to explain. My 500 hour boat: trailer jack is beat pretty badly. I’m going to replace it |

| Not original carpet. Carpet (and gauges) usually lasts more than 57 hours. |

Just like buying an older muscle car. Pay for condition and originality and don’t spend too much for anything that doesn’t add up. New hour meter and other stuff takes the barn find aspect away and leaves a nice boat with a lot of nice features. See it, Drive it. Do a compression test. I think it’s a cool looking boat and if I were in the market for a SN of that vintage, it would be a top contender. If you want $10k, it’s all got to add up. It’s not adding up. |
