Sport Nautique 200 Sneak Peak Video

[QUOTE=harddock]

I was unaware of towers increasing the value of a Nautique. Maybe a Sport Nautique, but I always thought it had just the opposite effect on a Ski Nautique.

Not around here, or anywhere else I can think of. To tell you the truth I seldom use the tower, and if not for the resale value the tower brings and the OB of the 206, I would have just stayed with the 196. This weekened I aqquired a Fly High tower extension from BI that will raise the pull point another 3 feet, so it will get some use this weekend. It would seem nobody wants a boat these days w/o a tower, hell people are putting them an Bayliners now.?.?.? Thank God for people like Pete and the Doc, otherwise you would see towers on Darts and Atom Skiers.

-1 on tubers. I have never seen one that dosen't drive like they are the only ones out there and that they own the lake. They are usually either 1/2 drunk or tourists. Either way they appear irresposible and erratic usualy more concerned with watching those on the tube than where it is they are heading.

+1 on a boom and teaching kids to ski, kneeboard, wakeboard, barefoot.

I do own a tube and a tube rope, just can't remember the last time it was used.

200 Sport now includes the new lifting ring tube puller feature. My 98 only has a lifting ring.

Wish they would bring back another name that comes to mind.

Did the Sport Nautique ever really go anywhere?

If I understand correctly, there was a great boat from 1989 - approx 2000 (1993 - 2000 if you only count the second generation) called the Sport Nautique.

That boat eventually got re-branded as the Crossover Nautique.

So now we can go back to calling the entry level Crossover Nautique buy it's true name?

Hey Ryan, sent you a PM about some Lake Murray info..Give me a shout when you get a chance...

I'm with Don.

Ryan, remember if there is no video then it didn't happen.

Resale value is a bonus, tower funtion working on long lines helps, a Fly High tower extention this weekend and trying some ADV's. Priceless

Towers are good for lots of things, especially resale value.

I thought he was doing girls pyramid now! It sure would be a advance in his carrier!

Thought the video said it was the same hull as the SN200, pic's of the hull are available at the wesite.

At age 14 you are on the "senior" team with the Aquanuts. Minimum age is 8 for JRs, and not because they can't ski, but because it's a safety issue. Many other teams are not large enough to split, they have 12 yr olds topping 4 high pyramids and skiing beyond any level I'll ever reach.

I think it's been headed this way for a while...and my feeling is it'll soon be a thing of the past.

Nautiques is easier and cooler....I suppose.
