As Murphy would have it after pulling out that log, I hit one myself yesterday evening and did some good damage to the shaft, prop, and supporting bracket. Dropped it off at the shop for insurance estimate today. With that said, I'm looking for any/all recommendations as i am hoping to have this repaired properly and with any upgrades that might be appropriate. Especially wrt recommendations for a new prop and shaft for the ol' 1995 Ski Nautique.

Thanks to all who continually provide their wisdom!

For years, Delta Propeller was a CCFAN site sponsor and their was a discount code and with that code they seemed to have the best price on a new prop. Also, when you replace the drive shaft go with a new one from A.R. E it is a Dual Taper shaft which is helpful servicing the coupler in the future. They are available at Discount inboard marine . AKA www.skidim.com. Other outlet have them too. They are about $460.00

I boat regularly on Eagle Mountain. Which end did you find your "logs"? North or South end towards the dam?

Also, it is possible you may have transmission damage. This is why many on CCFAN recommend not getting insurance from a car company. You can get it from someone like Ski Safe. They might be more aware of the damage that can result from a strike where the car people do not have a clue and might not cover unseen damage.

For the record. I would not kick Flo out of bed for eating crackers.

Aside, I’m visiting customers within a few miles of your lake and even drove around the lake area. I’ve been told the military wreaked havoc on the water quality of that lake. I love the way it looks at various times of the year. Very nice.

A lot has happened during the downtime of the site.

Insurance finally settled. The boat is pending pick up and the trailer has been sold.
Bummer I couldn't reachout to all the pm's but that couldn't be helped. Thank you all for your input and advice. Looking forward to many fun times on the 2002 SANTE.

Impact was with a stump and large rock.

Not sure about the water quality, regarding testing. The water has a nice color and is surprisingly clear. More and more boats are coming out. Even sailboats!

Just out of curiosity, would you be willing to give is the numbers on the Insurance Settlement? It would be interesting to see what a 30+ yr old Nautique was valued at.

Looking at a 1999 Malibu Sunsetter VLX. I like the additional room. How does the wake on the Malibu compare to an 89 Ski Nautique?


My neighbor on the lake has a VLX and although it’s a v-drive, it appears to have a pretty good wake for slalom.

I’ll guess $6800 all in on the payout.

That's pretty impressive. 31 yrs old, probably sold new for around $19000.

Wow $9,200 for a ‘89 you made out very well. 
If I could get $9,200 for my completely restored ‘85 she’d be heading down the road In a heart beat.

The purchaser never showed up and backed out of the deal.  The boat is available for 2700.00.  No trailer.  See pics.
Carpet and interior recently redone.  Clean title included. PM with any questions.
Thanks!
