Man, that boat brings back some good memories of my first Nautique. My '83 was the same color scheme and interior. Too bad that one looks like it has been sitting out uncovered for a while. Make sure you check the stringers out real well. Interior looks really dried up and most likely will start cracking as soon as any weight is put on it. ------------- '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 |

| thanks for the input guys i figured u guys would know something on this boat.i am new to the correct crafts and have been looking at this boat.the price is advertised at 3950 but he said he would take 1800..i have driven there and looked at it twice and yes everything needs to be done to the boat.the floor has a soft spot under the observers seat and the entire interior needs to be upholstered.i have no clue if the motor is good or not. |

Congrats reftech! I see nothing but "positive" all over that boat. Looks un-molested. Looks like it's all there. Original graphics, original interior. I'd much rather start a resto with a boat like that than with someones molested custom job with half the parts missing. Enjoy |

You will need the metal hinge to make that window work. It is a channel that slides on the glass and glues in place. There also seems to be a difference in the 80 / 81 and the 82+ hinge. I know from experience. FYI, Donald |

@Jason, Great project! I looked at that boat about 1-1/2 year ago but I couldn't justify the $ for what was offered (maybe with a trailer, maybe). What did you end up giving for it? TIM |
Posted By: reftech
Date Posted: March-12-2012 at 4:28pm
| Tim I gave 1600.00 for the boat and I have 450.00 in a trailer that is now totally new with lights new bunks winch jack and paint so I don't think I'm hurting at this point.I took the starter today for a rebuild as it was dead shorted.the motor turns freely by hand and everything looks good visually except they had the plug wires landed wrong and the firing order screwed up.so when I get the starter back this week I will prime the oil pump and attempt to start the motor. |

Actually, I would probably drain the Holley bowls, blow out all the fuel lines, change the filter, siphon off the fuel tank and then start with fresh 93 octane. |

Date Posted: March-12-2012 at 8:24pm
| kapla the firing order it was set up for made no sense...it was 1-5-6-4-8-2-3-7.the motor is a reverse rot motor and should be 1-8-4-5-6-2-7-3. drcc that my plan i have already pulled the carb and it is soaking in cleaner i am going to rebuild it.i bought the filter today and will be draining the tank and refilling thursday or so. |

Gotta love starting a new project for the first time! Good luck, be sure to take some pics/video! This was my weekend adventure. Been sitting for 2 years or more. Fuel out of a gas can, swapped carbs, plugs/wires, some fresh oil and it ran like a top. Should be able to go for a ride with a new set of trans hoses then the rebuild begins. Got a long ways to go with this one, but it's all original and runs like a top. EDIT- sorry for the funky video format. ------------- |

You can get a replacement solenoid here: http://www.nautiqueparts.com/solenoidstarterrelay.aspx" rel="nofollow - Solenoid  Although, make sure you have a good starting battery, or you're likely to fry another one. A lot of times people will have deep cycle batteries in there and that is no good for the starting system. Plus, clean up your wiring as much as possible. |

| after draining the fuel and changing the fuel filter,getting the firing order straightened out,cleaning the points and carburetor,getting the starter rebuilt and replacing the solenoid after it took a dump the motor fired up nicely and ran smooth after warming up with no knocks or pings.that was a huge relief! so now i can get the motor pulled out of this thing and start on the stringer replacement.i also cut and buffed the bow,dash,and port side top rail and it turned out better than i had anticipated thanks to all the tips i read on this site on bringing the gel coat back.thanks to all!!! |
