The ’Silver Nautique 2001’

I see Keith's Silver is for sale again. What a beautiful boat the Silver is. I found an article in my 1985 Correct Craft Tribune magazine about the Silver. Here it is:

The Silver Celebration


Correct Craft is celebrating the 25th year of Ski Nautique with the 1986 model. This is a big deal and required some big plans for a "big celebration."
To make this "celebration" really special it was decided that we would build the first 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 to have every available option "and then some." We would build a unique $25,000.00 Ski Nautique to commemorate the 25th year. That's great. But what do you do with it and how do you get everyone excited about it? Easy - you give it away!


Thus, the celebration evolved into a drawing for a giveaway, with no strings attached. All you had to do was send in a coupon and you had a chance to win this SPECIAL EDITION SKI NAUTIQUE. Of course, there was one requirementit had to be an original coupon (no photo copies accepted) from a magazine ad or from a Correct Craft dealer's showroom. Three magazines were selected to run the "Silver Celebration" ad - Water Ski Magazine, The Water Skier Magazine and Traikr Boats Magazine. Every Cor


Each buyer of a 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 will receive a pewter key chain to commemorate the 25th anniversary. Michael Johnson's key chain was sterling silver.

Here are four Silver Nautiques we can account for:

It would be great to have as many Silver Nautique owners find CCF.com and post pictures and the number of their boat. 82 of them out there. Rare boat!

Why would anybody put a tower on a boat like that???

MM, I also vote ...ditch the towers....

MAN.... Keiths boat sure looks GREAT! ..

Lets see, if I can save 50 bucks a month, by the time Im 70 I could....oh...forget it... by then somebody will probably be spoon feeding me..

Guys, I found a Silver Nautique at a storage center yesterday,(near my house in Alabama). It has 726 hrs. on it. I do not know much about the silver edition, if someone will tell me where the # is located, we will have one more accounted for. This boat is not for sale, but I don't think the owner knows what he has.

If you see it, snap a picture if you can. The number of the boat is located on the stern, by the rub rail. I'd love to see #01. Pretty cool boat!!!

I can account for one more guys, it is owned by a guy who used to be in the West Shore Water Ski Club on Sandusky Bay, west of Cleveland Ohio, where we used to ski.

Hey Glenn, remember "Big Steve"?

Hey Guys,
I definitely know what I have and love the boat. For practical reasons (family), I'm looking for a 1993 SNOB. I wish I could afford to own two boats and keep the Silver as well but I can't swing it. That's why the Silver is for sale. I priced it at a point where I can let it go but if it doesn't sell, no big deal. I'm happy owning it for awhile.

Steve, at least you're getting closer. Is the 64 going to be ready for Muscatine?

I know exactly where you are coming from, the Paragon was an awesome boat in particular because it was the ONLY one in existance in that color but it just was not practical for an everyday boat and I just could not see changing anything from original, hence my reason for selling. It was somewhat comforting that it found a great new owner (Chuck) who really appreciates it as much as we did plus he lives close by and allows me visitation rights!

The one in Alabama is #34. Appears to be in "fair" shape. Owner uses it for a "regular ski boat" -aaahhhhh. Gonna try to trade him a "regular ski boat" that is 10 years newer.....we'll see

John,
   Yep, I remember Big Steve and his Silver. The last time I saw it, it was a sad basket case. Plywood seats. When I mean plywood seats, I mean plywood seats. No foam, not vinyl, just plywood.

   What a piece of work!!

   What a waste of a nice boat.

Glen

So , what happened to big Steves boat ? Where is it?

Pat

Pat: As far as I know, he still has it. But I bet Glen knows better than I. Must be a wreck by now tho.

If it was avalible that would be a fun plan....execpt that mrs jbear would kill me. Not for partying with the crew....for buying another boat.
