This is a 3 owner boat owned by my father-in-law. A complete, no expense spared, restoration was performed in 2017/18. Original hours were 750 and the Nautique was always in a covered slip. Over $20,000 and over 500 hours was spent on the refurbishment. The hull was completely reconditioned. The stringers and floor replaced, glassed, then the entire hull gel coated. All work performed by a Master Craft professional. No foam was used to fill the hull, but can always be added. Additionally, a brand new 351 Windsor marine crate engine was added.
Since the rebuild, the Nautique has logged about 50 hours. When not in use it is stored in my garage. It was a labor of love to rebuild the Nautique. It''''s just my wife and I, even though we''''re only 10 minutes from the lake, we use it rarely.
