Besides that moment, you can find all the information you could possibly need on this site.  Though not from me since I have an '86.  Enjoy the journey.

If it says 92......it's a 92 model year

If it says 93......it's a 93.model year

Here's a page out of a CC owners manual from that time period explaining all 12 digits of their HIN

The HIN in the example is a "little hard to read" but the explanation is good.

The only exact replacement tanks you'll find are used, but yours must be able to be repaired

I've pulled the aluminum tank for my '86 and, after cleaning, it looks in great shape.  After reading this i'm going to test it somehow before I prep and paint it.  I suppose the only test would be to put it under vacuum or pressure and watch the gauge.  Probably vacuum since I have a vacuum pump and all the gauges and valves already set up.

Gas fumes will migrate to the bottom of the boat.   You hit the starter and BOOM.

Locally we had 2 men die in separate accidents in inboard boats.

They are great boats but all boats like these have blowers and the owners need to learn the basics to have them operate safely.    No big deal if you follow the safety precautions.  (And have no gasoline leaks)

Those that never use the bowers are playing Russian Roulette.  Some day an accident can happen.

Plug the leak or replace the tank first, the rest can be fixed up as you enjoy the boat this summer.

92 had a plastic tank so corrosion isn't really in the picture.

We will be cleaning it this weekend but here are pics I took last weekend. Her maintenance and covers got abandoned when I went to college in 2016. I would clean it everytime I came home but if I wasn't there to cover her back up she was just left to the elements, which is why it is the way it is now. We took out the padding on the lookout seat, sides, and back seat but the shell for the back seat is still good.  The tarp that was on the canopy blew off and I'll be putting a new one on this weekend, as well as cleaning everything. I've seem boats in worse condition, so I know this is fixable.  Thankfully the motor is still doing good due to random fix ups over the years(impellor, distributor, spark plugs, seals, oil change and filter, etc.), my dad is an absolute wizard when it comes to motors. It'll just take time, money, and persistence to get it back to the glory days.

 

Your "plastic" is probably HDPE (high density polyethylene) but there are other materials too that get used for gas tanks.

The pressure at that spot in your tank is minimal (just from the height of gas over the pinhole) and the tank is vented so there's no pressure buildup as gas expands since it goes out the vent line.

The hundred percent foolproof, easy to give advice is to get a new tank, but that's a lot easier said than done, especially in a slant back Ski Nautique 

PS..............Temporary is one of those terms that means different things to different people  

JB weld will not seal gasoline.  Neither will most other sealants.  Silicone breaks down into a grease like mess when exposed to gas fumes.   Best to follow Kens advice and see if there is a professional available, I am thinking the pin hole leak is most likely a stress crack but who knows what happened to the boat over its life so far.

Well, whatever year it is, you'd be better off measuring the fuel line length. It's 3/8 ID USCG approved fuel line that's more fire resistant than automotive stuff,

Sounds like you're unsure on the packing, it's relatively cheap, get both sizes and you'll cover all the bases. Most times when someone asks, the reply is wrong because there wasn't a lot of consistency.

And the discount code you're looking for is PND 

On your gas tank, is it rectangular or is the back angled to match the transom? I have a good aluminum tank from an '87 2001 Nautigue that I would sell if it can work. I'll send measurements if you have a rectangular tank with no angles.

Your tank is plastic and angled, Ernie's is aluminum and squared off

Is Teri a guy or a girl, just so we get it right. Google say's it's a girls name but ya' never know. 

Well......glad we got that straight  

Your boat takes the steering cable like you mentioned from nautiqueparts in the link 

http://nautiqueparts.com/steering-cable-all-nautiques-from-1991-to-1992/" rel="nofollow - link

It's an oddball size and throw on the cable and if you use something more generic your steering won't turn as sharp, due to a combination of things like the length of the inner cable, the length of the support tube at the back that the cable mounts to and the length of the tiller arm.

OK Ms Brown, you really should mention what the engine is in the boat 

How about a couple pictures of the engine?

Since it's most likely a 351 Ford, with a carburetor and either a distributor or the ProTec ignition system, you'd be looking for a Carter M60389 fuel pump

You can find that M60389 fuel pump at a variety of places and prices There are other places but this'll give you some ideas

Nautiqueparts.............$142 .minus 10% with their discount code, plus shipping

Discount Inboard Marine ......$138  plus shipping

Summit Racing..... $61 plus shipping

Amazon., Ebay........easy to find for $50ish, maybe free shipping

Rock Auto Parts........$37 plus shipping

I won't tell you where to buy it, but I know a couple places where I wouldn't be buying it and a few where I'd be much more likely to spend my fuel pump money  

Great looking boat. I have the same color scheme on my 91.  Except previous owner change interior colors.  Good luck with the restore.

Side note. Anyone know where I can get a mirror like the one in his dash?.. My dash has the holes but missing the mirror.  Thank you 

We all would like to see the boat being cleaned up, maybe polished, and other projects performed. 

I't's not often we have a younger Nautique enthusiast, male or female...

Here are some pics after we cleaned the inside so we could work on the motor. My dad is working on waxing it properly and making sure he marks where the Nautique stickers go on each side that he has. If you follow the youtube link, I did a short video of the motor after we finally got it starting up on the first try and without bottle feeding, there is another video of me driving it up to shore so you can see how she still looks on the water and then a blurry video of my dad slinging me on the tube. The tube video was this past weekend after we replaced the steering cable. Fuel line, bow vent hoses and accelerator pump are next. Eventually we will get to the interior but that's a bigger chunk of money than we are ready for, so we will settle for the little fixes to keep her on the water.

Side note: When I asked about the fuel pump that was a random thought from my dad, turns out the ball and needle in the carb were gunked up, not wanting to move. The kind of gunk you get form ethanol fuel sitting, even though we only ever get non-ethanol fuel in it. So no more trusting that gas station.

I did get a picture of the hull number, I plan on submitting a quote to the upholstery website that is recommended on here but do they also provide the foam for the seats or only the skins?

If you wanted to private message me with pictures, dimensions and your price, I would be grateful. I'm assuming shipping will be horrendous as well but maybe I can convince my dad to go halfsies.

Thank you
