Thanks! I do get a lot of of complements. Really I can't believe its a 27 year old boat. It's a carburated GT40 - I guess its not really a GT40 if its carbed - but has the GT40 heads and still has the ProTec Ignition. It runs great. Just had seats redone and I refinished the teak swim platform. I'm going through misc electrical and mechanical components to make sure its summer ready. Just installed a new KUS fuel sender and noticed the fuel line appeared degraded so I ordered a new one tonight. Buffed her out and installed the original regalia decals below the stern Nautique decals. I appreciate originality and fortunately she was original and unmolested when I got her 4-5 years ago. |

Well I would vote for that '93 Sport being one of the Best Looking boats ever! Just gorgeous.

Well if we’re gonna start throwing around fighting words I’m gonna go ahead and say the bubble butt was the ugliest CC besides the latest and greatest.

Not one of those weird 90’s slant things |

Yeah, the ‘95 Signatures and 90-93 are truly my favorites. Besides any orange early 70’s CC’s.

Up until this last weekend, my boat was parked right next to Alan and Dana’s sweet creation. I really hope they’re not serious about selling it.

Hard to pick one.
I'd add the late '60's Barracuda. I've owned a 16' inboard for over 40 years, but I drooled over that bigger hull as a kid. Seemed bigger than a 17 ft. boat, ton of style. '98-'02 Sport. I'm biased, like Lewy. I think maybe the most versatile Nautique ever. Maybe rivaled by a 2010 and later Sport 200, but that's a smaller boat. |

I've skied, wakeboarded, and surfed a ton of CC's... and I keep coming back to the DD Sport Nautique.
It skis acceptable in the course, add ballast and surfing can be fun on a longer board. Wakeboard wake is more than enough also when ballasted. The fact that the running surface from the Super Air until 06 still skis the course in decent form in a DD package is why I'm on my third. Long live the Sport |

No real need to be unbiased. Based on what you have in the diary, those are two damn fine examples, exactly the ones I would have nominated anywyay. I love the 88&89 2001, love that version of the Sport in your profile pic. Extremely nice fleet! |

However that paragon is beautiful |

Trying to be unbiased here have owned a 89 2001 and currently a 98 Sport.
![]() The space and versatility of the 98 Sport for family water sport makes it a contender. The classic lines of the 89 2001 with the 1.23 trans and a touch extra room place it in the mix. My third nominee would be the bubble back TSC Ski Nautique slalom ski hull. |

The Paragon mention is an excellent point. I remember telling my Dad about it when it was coming out. I was like "Dad...guess what. It costs.... TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS." And then watching his face. It blew my mind what it cost back then. Great one to mention in the context of this thread. Thanks, Jonny Quest.
