My neighbor bought this 2000 Ski Nautique and discovered that it lists to starboard both at rest with nobody in it and at speed with two equal weight guys driving and spotting. His boat does not have ballast tanks. The only accessories that may be relevant are the heater in the bow on the starboard side. The boat has a hot water shower system. I am not sure if any of its components are near the heater. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?  ------------- Jim |

It could have a structural failure that has allowed water into the cavities under the floor that should be sealed. If there is foam in those cavities it will get water logged and add weight. Another possibility is that a previous owner has hidden some ballast. A friend of mine bought a Tige that the previous owner had hidden lead bars around the boat for ballast. ------------- 92 SN - Owned since 93 99 Pro Air 89 SN - Went to live on a lake in Texas 75 Donzi 16 - Sold in 93 |

Yea there is a issue with that one. however feel under the driver seat in the cavity and make sure there are no weight plates hidden there. 2 25 pound barbell weights will fit under the driver seat. also check behind the kick panel and make sure no one stacked something there. many of those boats as great a skiing boat as they were needed weight on the starboard side to run level at slalom speeds. normally we would use a 50-75 pound weight that was easily moved around. ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

My 95's build sheet notes that on it's water test it listed 1/2". Don't remember which way though. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I thought this boat would have closed cell foam that would not get waterlogged. If I am right, would the water have little room under the floor? Are there any weep hole and if not, could they be drilled to drain the water? ------------- Jim |

I think if you take off the swim platform brackets, water will leak out (if it's in there). ------------- 1994 Ski Nautique "Riot" 1964 Dunphy X-55 "One 'N Dun" 'I measured twice, cut three times, and it's still too short!" |

I'd probably call whoever the boat was bought from and see what they can tell him. No test ride when he bought the boat?
It must ride with a pretty good list with only the driver in it.(Lone Ranger,.... no Tonto  } |

The prior owner was not aware of the issue. He owned the boat for 2 years and could not locate the stern light under the gunwale. Someone suggested there were weep holes to drain under the floor. If there aren't any, is it possible to add them? ------------- Jim |

It's almost certain their is water under the floor on the starboard side. Are there any pictures of the stringers etc for a boat of this year? There are a gazillion pictures of boats with wood stringers.

if you're sure there's water and wet foam on that side and you want to get rid of it without being too intrusive, click on the link below to a thread by Gotta Ski http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50758&KW=&title=boat-restore" rel="nofollow - link Some strategically drilled holes, a pressure washer and a shop vac and you're in business maybe.

Agree that's a really good price for a 2000 Ski, even if you need to figure out the list. Pretty amazing slalom wake for 11k. I look at used boats just for the fun of it and seems like everything worthwhile is 20k plus. ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

That's tempting. Way cheaper and faster than a full project. I would pull the carpet. After some strategic exploratory surgery; 1. cut out the floor in sections i.e. 6 inches wide X 18-24 inches long real nice and save the cutouts. 2.Remove the foam 3. Not put foam back in. 4. Hot glue tongue depressors to the floor cutouts so they hungover a few inches and set them back in. 5. Tab on some glass, after it dries pull the tongue depressors and finish glassing it over. 5a. Especially glass around the perimeter of the floor to the hull sides, my bet since it's foam filled and glassed over, the guys at the factory just kinda got a little bit of mat up the hullsides, just enough to get it past warranty before it pops loose here and there letting any water that gets on the floor leak into the cavity. 6. Throw in some new carpet and be done with it, go skiing baby ! |

You know what would be way easier than going through all that work for potentially very little gain? Have the build sheet pulled at the factory and get it's water test results. What if you did all that and still had a list? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Johnny, I couldn't do the kind of work to do it justice. Too new and too nice Gary, your probably right and that would be a smart play. Was there ever any word from the factory about why some list or is there a theory out there. Maybe next spring another boat will come my way. Cleaning out the shed today found the last remnants of the 79 and thought i'd breeze thru and say hi. Really liked that boat. Someone will pick it up and it'll be a good boat for them |

We carry 75 pounds under the passenger seat of a 2017 -200 CB, only take it out if there are two big persons (200 plus} in the passenger seating. or it goes in the back for tricks. the last year or so of the slant back as well as the first couple years of the bubble butt. many of our promo as well as factory team boats needed 40 pounds no matter what, stuffed in the cavity under the drivers seat. Today, go to an event, competition (whatever they want to call it theses day's). one will find lead ballast bags as well as boats with water tanks for level as well as electronic wake enhancing that can be tailored to change the wake configuration at the touch of a button. the boat up for sale is a great deal and would make a perfect candidate for a 6.0 re-power as well as ZO update and overall refresh.. ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

Ive left the floor in place and extracted all the foam out with just some (11) 5" hole saws, then reglassed the holes, leveled, added some more ply everywhere. will never get soggy again. putting foam back is one's user discretion ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing."

They confirmed the lean and then added a 'wedge' (slight hook) to the starboard aft hull at transom.

David, A new 6.0 non cat bobtail sitting on my floor with all the adapter mounts and electrical adapter plus shipping and tax is near the $13 K range. HP is 409. i also highly recommend replacing the transmission at the same time. another $2500. Zero off is $1600.00 getting started on a 94 Sport, total budget $35K includes new engine and transmission, All cables as well as all underwater gear serviced , new gauges including zero off. bottom clean as well as hull detail and complete interior and sea-deck.. I think the boat was a family hand me down, so 0 cost to the owner for the roller.. ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

Keno, Yea I just called in an order for a new 80 kit. my price significantly higher then the one sitting on my floor ordered about 3 months ago. $700 higher!! DIM wants $3900.00 retail.. So in three months they have jacked up the price $700, in over a year $1000.00! One of the big things that have changed is availability of these units.. they are now stocking them.. no more 9-6 week wait. ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

I would have to ask, why are they not rebuilt? Are parts available these are pretty simple transmissions I don’t understand why they are not rebuilt unless the aluminum case is being destroyed when a bearing fails but even that could be machined for a repair sleeve for reasonable money? I say this since I am currently rebuilding a GM 6L80 6 speed automatic and all parts are available same day locally for about $1500 and it is far more complicated than the boat transmissions. ------------- |

PCM no longer supports this model and the unit was propriety to PCM. the major failure in these are cracked clutch disk drums or sealing drum rings that walk out of the groove and tear up the groove. replacement drums have not been available for nearly 10 years now or more. they are not really friendly for rebuilding in the best conditions as there are a couple specialized tools for these units. now Clutch disks are unavailable as well as other small items for that unit. I had and have a number of them (cores) that i pulled down trying to rebuild 1 out of the four i took apart there were not enough good parts to rebuild.... Cracked drums all. bottom line is the only people with replacement parts are far and few in between. also the 40 series is a bit more complicated then the borg 71/72 units as well the newer 80 series resembles the borg in many ways, Having not been into one yet , though i would wager a lot of the parts that go into the 72C may also work in the 80??? ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

Thanks for explaining. Extra good reason for regular oil changes in the tranny of the 40 series I guess. Are the failures related to hours used or hard use/abuse? I hope a new affordable option pops up as there are so many of these boats on the water. There are a ton of old Malibu and other ski boats out there with the 1:1 tranny’s but it would be a shame to change over from the Nautique power train. I have a buddy selling his old Malibu today, he has not started it in 5 years but is selling the boat for $1500 with the 351W and tranny still in good shape. Sounds like just the Powertrain has more value than he is selling for. His interior is shot and the gel coat is faded but boat and trailer with a good Powertrain for $1500 seems cheap. ------------- |

I think that if you ask PCM the new "affordable option" is the 80A/80I. Getting water in the 40 series seems to be the biggest killer |

Bad cooler would be the most likely thing unless you submerge.it Even then, the dipstick or the vent/relief valve would need to leak.
The vent/relief is a check valve and water won't flow into the transmission through there unless it leaks.

I was very proud of myself. Made a delivery in the area this past Wednesday and I didn't go to see it. Customers sort of frown at you when you show up in a semi. Ask me how I know. Told my wife what I didn't do when I got home. She patted me on the head and said " good boy - good boy " . I've picked up enough stuff from across the country. Seems like a good price though.

I contacted the seller and he confirmed it is the same boat (duh) and confirmed the list/lean when asked. Also said he’d resell at $11k if I were interested (I am not). So only moderately shady for an unsuspecting buyer.
