1989 ski nautique question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all, 

Here are my questions to anyone who might know...

1. Did the 1989 SN have higher Horsepower than say a 1985?

2. Why do I see some 1989's with white faced gauges and some without? Are they late model year production boats using the new 1990 boat gauges?

Thanks 

Mike

	Hi Mike, I have an 89 SN. Everything on it is still origial. It has the Ford 351 with a Holley Carb and is rated at 240hp. I can't say for sure, but I believe this is the same standard engine offered in all model 2001 Ski Nautiques. I think the Barefoot Nautiques were available with both the Ford 351 and a Chevy 454. Now, if someone was to replace the original engine with a new Ford engine, it would be rated at 285hp for a carb model and 310 for fuel injected. I don't know about the gauges, mine are all black faced.
