Hey guys,
Some of you already know, but picked up the 1991 Ski Nautique below on ebay on Saturday. It has now started it's long jerney down under tonight. I haven't seen it in person, I do know it's be a bit of a project, & but it actually doesn't look too bad. Just have to track down all the bits & pieces that have been taken off it.! |

Let's have a reunion down under next year and all go down there and build the boat in a week like the cable show'Overhaulin'
Except we'll call it 'PIMP MY NAUTIQUE!' |

Andrew is there any funny characters in the name of picture. Characters like _ / * are reserved characters and cannot be used in the uploaded files.
Looks like it was in pretty good condition from Ebay pics. The price was right anyway. Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Hope most of the interior was there for you. Have you organised to have it loaded in a container yet? |

I'll rename it & try again
Yeah I got some additional pics + the larger versions of the pics from ebay. Interior that is there appears to be in good condition, just dirty. Captains chair and front observer seat back & corner cussions are there. Front seat base cussion is missing. There is no rear seat at all, but it appears that there never was one originally. There are no holes or clips, plus there is a big "Correct Craft Inc" decal on the inside above the tank. Possibly a lower spec'd interior.? Exterior looks reasonably good also. A few minor scratches. Hull isn't too oxidized & may only need cut / polish work Trailer appears to be very good with new tires.

Question 1 - Engine
Engine is Protec ignition with carb induction. I was under the impression that it was the throttle body induction that gave problems.? Is that correct or is it the ignition / dizzy / coil pacs that are the problem.? |

Chopper, we have a 93 sport with/had the Protech system on it over here in NZ. It was the coil packs that seemed to go on us. After a couple of years and some frustraing times we have just upgraded to a MSD dizzy. Best thing we have ever done.

no big deal to convert to ei and dizzy. At least you dont have the expense of buying a carb to replace the throttle body, like I did. Best of luck.

Andrew - I know it is none of my business - but how much does it cost to transport a boat to Australia? It has to be significant.

Chris there are lots of variables, mostly concerning shipping method. Excluding inland transport costs, a ballpark figure would be around $4k USD in a container and up around $8k for "roll on roll off" for a boat of this size. |

Hey Seb, unless the dash is up under the bow out of sight, it's a gonner. I am considering a custom dash as it is very unlikely that I will find genuine CC dash in Australia. |

Question 2 - Steering
Do 91's have the tilt adjustable steering wheel.? If so, where would be the best place to get these parts.? This is what I have & more importantly, don't have |

No- tilt wheel didnt become an option until '93. You may be able to retrofit, though. |

I thought my 92BFN had a tilt wheel. Maybe a late model 92.

The helm shown in the pics is TILT, when it was offered is a mute point. I have told Chopper I have the parts to complete his tilt feature............
