Why are you wanting random off-brand boats? lol You can get a good Nautique in ski-able condition for 4k I'd think. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

Good SN for $4 grand is like finding a needle in a haystack IMO.... Bump it up a couple grand and you'll find what you're looking for.. That is unless your idea of "good" is something other than what I'm thinking...
You'll find all sorts of cheap boats for $4G, but they won't be a "Correct Craft"... Moj' ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Run away from that one....Only seen one in person and it was almost brand new and was falling apart. Thin glass, cheap seats and hardware, rattled like a SOB. ------------- |

I owned a few Ski Centurions. Nice looking California multi color gel but cheaply made. I had a 3 mile drive from dealer to my home by water.on my last one the dash physically landed in my lap on the ride home. All those California boats are plugs off another boat. The 95 I had was pluged off a Ski Supreme. Resale is no where near as good as on a Nautique. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

I'm sure there are plenty of people here that started with inboard boats other than Correct Craft. I don't think there's many people that have gone back. ------------- '02 Ski Nautique 196 w/ 5.7 Apex bowtie - Sold '87 Barefoot - sold '97 Super Sport Nautique - originally custom built for Walt Meloon '97 Ski Nautique '83 SN 2001 |

| There are 4-5 Bimini skiers at Essex recreation ( hosted Midwest regionals many times) in Illinois. The other poster is correct about being a knock off of brendella, which was a knock off of a Mastercraft hull. It has cheaper seats and more plastic on it. PCM motor and vdo gauges. My buddy has a 94. It's far from a rattle trap, it is just a balls out slalom boat, perfect for private lakes because of it's flat bottom. This lake is full of CC, MC's and BU's, this boat handles as good or better than any of them! I think he paid just under 15,000 with a nice trailer in 94 (could be a 95). Another innovation on this boat, it has an articulating front skag that turns along with the rudder. This may be why it handles so well. It sits very low in the water. He keeps it on a lift, but he is very paranoid about the stringers because they are wood. The plastic on the vent covers, blower etc reminds me of some of the cheaper malibu's, magnum skiers, and eliminators of the late 80's. Don't be fooled thou, that boat is a great tournament boat. Someone also said it was made by fineline ind. , that is also correct. I don't know how thin the glass is on the boat but, his fiberglass and paint (fading) are in excellent condition. If your ever in Essex il. For tournaments, 15 minutes away from the nationals this year in Wilmington il, you will see some bimini's running around, along with the more popular boats that preceded them. |
