What do you think your next logical "rig" will be? a$$uming you don't win the lotto or have any lifestyle-changing differences in disposable income, what will you be shopping for next? If none, then what would you replace your boat with if it were stolen/destroyed and you were reasonalbly reimbursed by your insurance company? Would you toss in a few bucks and upgrade to a different hull/year?
Personally, I'll probably go open bow next. Our current rig is pretty much my "dream rig" as far as CB goes, so the only thing I could want that I don't already have is more room. I'll probably be shopping for a very, very lightly used 206 or a brand new one in a couple years, depending on how things go. |

That's easy, I am looking for a 1999 SN with an open bow, MPEFI, Perfect Pa$$, Heater, and Shower. Maybe after this winter when I finish rebuilding the 87 SN? If not, maybe next year.

I would have two,something old and something new.The 64 ain't for sale and if something was to happen i would start all over again with another project of the same year,but i want a 2001 maybe a '83 thru 87 just for the interior room,would be easier to pull the chute too.Old is COOL,at 52 i dont need a note on a toy......... boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

If I could reset the clock about ten years and the kids were 4 and 7 I'd probably be in a 206. Open bow for Mom, tower for the kids boards, boom for dad and a cooler for all.
Present day I'm still looking for my 81 barefoot. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

For me, probably a 206. I'd love to have that ski locker in the back. Still probably 5 years off or so. The wife wants a 211......probably not going to happen.

My 206 is the perfect boat for me, with the stereo upgrade being done this winter the only thing that could possibly make it better would be 100 more pony's. If I walked in the dealer today I would order the exact same boat.

Quinner's boat. I've often admired those colors. With three little ones, we could use the versatility of the 206. I must say that's the dream boat. I can't see spending that kind of money right now. Maybe once the college money is socked away, but for now I will continue to stick with the older CC's, which I also love.
In terms of the "rig", I just traded a paid for 2003 Excursion for a 2006 Honda Odyssey, with a note.  We just had our third kid and the minivan finally made sense. My wife and I were holding out, but I must say the minivan works for a grocery getter, but not very cool to take to the lake. I did manage to keep the F-150 to "pull the boat".------------- |

My next boat will hopefully be an '87-'89 2001/ Barefoot Nautique, or if somehow it became feasible I would like a newer 196, love the cla$$ic looks of the closed bow.

quinner; I would never get rid of the '80 to upgrade (to old) but mrs jbear's favorite ride of all was our 206. The ride, open bow, room amd the storage locker had her lovin' that boat. If there is one outa all of 'em that I am sad I sold, it would have to be my '98. Best boat ever made by C/C in my humble opinion. Love the look of your 206.

I doubt I will ever sell the '90, but I wouldnt mind having a fleet of CC's. The next addition will likely be a late 60's/early 70's Mustang or Skier. I also love the Master's burgandy TSC1 and the new graphics on the 06+ 196.

My future upgrade would have to be a pylon and boom for the 86 BFN, maybe some shiny paint and a tach that works... and a 4 blade prop. ------------- Hunting for a Early 2000s Super Air or Super Sport w/ a Python Former Boats: 2001 SN 196 1986 BFN |

| Hmmm. If I could get something new, it would probably be a new 216 or a 211. With the wife and the two kids (4 yr old and a 7 month old), my 2000 sport is roomy enough, but add my bro and his family and the roomy 211 would be better. |

'96-'00 super sport or super air. open bow, v-drive, tower, perfect pa$$. I like y'all's barefoot answers though...I'll keep that in mind when I "upgrade" :) ------------- "I don't know what the world may need, but a http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=886&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - V8 engine's a good start for me" |

My next upgrade would not be in the boat, but a little of the knowledge/courage that you guys have to work on them. Then I could keep the d**n thing running forever. Soon as I get it figured out, gonna post a picture of the '85. (Burgandy/Grey Hull combo, all original) Thanks for the site guys! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1882&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1985&yrend=1985 - 85 ski nautique |

Hopefully the 05 SANTE will last forever.I would someday like to add something older to the dock,but it won't be tomorrow Actually I have my eye on a one owner mid80's 2001,low hrs,always stored inside,etc.Hoping to be able to swing it when he decides to sell.

| I just brought home a 2001 SN196 with GT40 and 49 hours so I think I would change nothing at this time. Will be putting the 1987 Ski Supreme up for sale. Had it for 15 yrs with no issues. Has 750 hrs and still in really nice shape. Nice to step up though. Money no object one of the 06 SN196 usedin the big dawg competition looks good. |

Oooh Ya Jbear, I noticed that one.
There's something about those late 70 yellow Tiques & Nautiques that I love. Especially the ones with the nice diamond stichted interiors! Maybe someday the 84 will go & one of those will be the new project. The wife would kill me if she hear's me talking like that though.

Think I'll keep the 86 for a long time and get a pontoon boat.A ski boat and pontoon boat are the perfect combo. Just anchor the pontoon and ski from there all day long- that way you don't have to keep going back to the dock to pick up/ drop off/ refill cooler/ etc.
If I were to trade up, I'd go with a newer model closed bow SN that has low hours, fuel injection and is a bit quieter than the 86 (not too popular at 6:30 a.m.) ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

I agree. Im trying to convince a friend of mine to buy one and turn it into a party barge. ------------- |

Been there, done that. The perfect combo as long as you use it. After about 10 years, the pontoon was getting used less and less. If you don't use it enough, it's cheaper to rent. |
