Hey Wiskey, that's a nice low-hour northern boat (as usual). Looks super nice. Those skin tears at the seams are easily restitched by someone that works with vinyl, so not expensive at all, and absolutely no need to replace the skin.

As far as price, price seems fair, as it has a good trailer, I'd expect it to close to asks, depending on the seller's motivation. I had the same boat, and it's a great all-around family ski boat. You would not be disappointed. This boat looks to be well cared for.

My 2 cents..

I have a 99 Sport Nautique that I have been considering selling. Let me know if you want more info.

Same goes for me Spaddy..shoot me an email (markjsemon@gmail.com) with some specs and pics when you get a chance.

Thanks,

Excalibur is a great motor. 2002 was a transition year from the GT-40 to the Excalibur.My 2002 got a GT 40. The 2002 Excalibur models had a difficult to change water pump impeller arrangement. A real knuckle buster. You can get it done but I heard you need a pint of blood when done. PCM fixed the issue for the 2003 Excalibur engines. I also hear that all years go through distributor caps faster than the Fords. The PCM caps are more costly when compare to the NAPA automotive that also work well. There is nothing marine about the PCM distributor cap. Other wise it is a great engine.

Not a good choice for someone in the witness protection program. Hard to blend in with that boat!

Maybe Prince was the original owner?

Didn't I read that the early 2000's Nautiques were now having some problems with their keyless ignition control pads?

Hey Gun, your ‘99 Sport is on Greensboro, NC CL. You better go get it or I might.

Starting the same search you are on.

Are you considering Airs as well? From the quick research I've done here it appears they are the same as the Sport. Pricing appears to be about the same as well.

Here's one I was thinking about calling on.

That does sound nice not sure why its priced the way it is.
To bad it's clear across the country from me or I would have to take a peek at that.

Heard from the seller. He's the second owner. Bought it in 2010 from one of the Weyerhaeuser brothers. Apparently he works for the company and got a deal on the boat. Had 60 hours when he got it. Paper trail of annual service records supports the hours. Did have salt water use with the original owner. Apparently it split time between their home on gig harbor and lake house.

He sent some additional photos. It looks clean. Has the 5.7 Apex instead of GT40.

If I found one from a trusted forum member I would do the same thing.

The '01 I posted is from CL, don't have the same trust there...


Here's a pic of the engine from the 2001 Air.

Sport and Air are the same. Was in the same situation while searching and ended up with an Air. Promptly removed the gen 1 tower and hard tanks.

I know, not the year you want, but if he comes off the price this boat is pristine.
