I sure hope so too. I'm struggling with how any company could develop a product for the exterior without any UV protection!

Well, hopefully the new is better. Better get a few Cases of beer for removal.

It is a 5 axis router. I am not sure if a plasma, laser, wire or mill would work. Never thought about a water jet either. I believe that the router vacuum table type would work best because you need to run it dry and without too much heat.
We have been successful in cutting thin Styrofoam on it and I believe this will be easier. I will take some video of when we are cutting it.

I think we talked about this before but they had big issues with UV exposure when it first came out. I stuck a tan set on the back of my Aunt's Searay maybe 5 years ago and it still looks new. They use the boat basically every weekend and it isn't particularly well cared for. it is covered when not in use though.

The current stuff should hold up much better for you Alan. Removing it is awful. We used to used heated razor blade scrapers.

Don't Nautiques typically sell for MSRP less 15%-20%? So that puts this boat in the $60's?

Malibu had their "camp boat" at the Boston boat show last year and it was in the low $50's for the boat show. The 200 is a far nice boat than that and well worth the extra $10k.

I like it.

I don't get it either. Figured it was the same hull, which would make sense, why not monetize that proven hull design and not go into R&D for much of anything new to keep the price down. I can't see where the 500 lbs. is hiding, or why it is a good idea.

In terms of the boat and how it will sell, I don't have a clue about the marketing etc. like Zach or someone else that spent time in a dealership does, but to me they could have slotted in the 200 Ski at a lower price point to the new Ski, just left out some or many of the goodies which would steer many/most new boat customers to the new version. But what do I know.

I do think it's a good looking boat.

With a nearly 20% weight gain, I wonder what that’s going to do to the wake.

Did the closed bow version save that much weight? Does carbon fiber or lack thereof cause that much weight differential?

The tower is standard? That the extra weight?.................

Yeah, 79,000 base pricing. Likely doesn't include destination fees or trailer.

They picked a humdinger of a color scheme for the main advertising boat, looks basically all white when in the water and was the #1 boat N3 had in inventory the longest of any. Everyone just looked at it then said "Nah I will order my own". Which was all of about 3 buyers.

I think it was a 12 we finally sold in 2015. Even Mars man passed on it back then IIRC.

Price is Right

I like what I see. Not as bare bones as Ken said, but like the comments above that, a super bare bones boat probably wouldnt sell real well, like the 93. This may be a good boat for serious skiers who dont have the 1oo Gs for a new "Ski Nautique" Like Brian said, a lot will hinge on price. If its too high, the non 100 K skiers will opt for used boats. Will have to be a pretty reasonable savings from the stealth bomber. Maybe it will be a similar relationship like between the 210/230 and the Gs. Everyone wants a G, but some people get the 210/230 for pricing purposes. Me, if I had the dough and was interested in a wake boat would probably get the 210 anyway. Too old school for the barge lines of the Gs.
