'02 Nautique SE

Thanks for the responses, I agree about the absence of the "Pod" and gauges, so that is a plus with me. We bought the boat from the dealer who sold it originally (we are the 2nd owners)and it was ordered that way- as an SE and with the pro-boss- a real good combo if you ask me. I was just curious if it (the SE)was ever even acknowledged in any of the paperwork, because I couldn't find it anywhere. HID is CTC23031A203 so it should be out of the 35 range with the teething problems. I hope it is as nice to ski behind as my friend's '05 anyway. I'll have to post up a few pics at some point.

SE Boats, Being that 2002 was the first year of the limited and SE and Team packages CC did not do a whole lot in advertising the SE.
Most all SE packages consisded of analog gauges, Key switch, not much as far as any other options. Maybe a base stereo system.
2002 may have also been the last year a GT-40 was available.
2002 196 Ski Nautiques had some initial spray and leaning problems, These were squared away about hull number 35 their were a few that were bought back and the problems were rectified and few that were brought in by the owners to have the problems fixed. Most all agree that the 196 first and second (strakes removed) generation hull were one of the best slalom and jump boats ever produced. keep in mind their was an excodus of trickers tha were staunch CC owners when we came out with the 196, nice thing is we made up for it converting slalom skiers over.

Have you tried contacting the origanal dealer or CC themselves with the HIN?
