Hi I am looking at a older 2001 nautique. What should I be looking for? Do any of you have any tips that will help me make a wise decision? Any help or advice would be great. Thanks

I bought a 1986 2001 about 5 years ago off the Internet. I drove several states to pick it up and was in a rush when I arrived. The owner did not allow me to "test ride" or ski behind the boat. Since I came so far, I bought it anyways. The boat was a "lemon" and needed many repairs. Now the boat has been restored from top to bottom and I love it.
So the moral of the story is, drive and ski behind it first, before buying (unless you like to restore boats).

This has everything to look for when buying a used Nautique. I used printed it out and used it when I went to look at my boat. I actually gave the guy 1,700.00 less than he was asking because of a couple of minor things. Bent skag and exhaust water leak but everything else checked out~!

If ya can't drive it then don't buy it. A very simple rule.
