Does anyone know how Correct Craft chose "2001" as a model number? Through what years did they use the 2001 series? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1657" rel="nofollow - My 88 Nautique |

The 2001 hull was built from 1982-1989.
Ive read the name comes from the overall length (with platform) of 20' 01". Not sure how true that is, though. ------------- |

So would a "2001" be considered a 18'9" boat or 20'1" boat??? I'm shocked that the BFN is the same length, as they look so much bigger than the SN.

I would think technically its a 18' 9" boat since the platform isnt permanantly attached. ------------- |

That's what I thought. For insurance purposes, I said 18'9".

My memory is that it was named that way because of marketing and nothing to do with the overall length. The hull for the next century wasn't it? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

20th or 21st century? Then what does the 01 mean at the end of 20? If it's 21st century, then it would be a '90's boat. I think Tim is right and I recall seeing something about it on the2001.com.

It's the running length of the boat like Tim said. Ken ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1052&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - Nautique 2001 |

In 1982, I wonder if it meant "your boat will have tremendous resale value as a wakeboard boat in 2001"

That would make a lot more sense. 20' 01" isnt even the running surface since it includes the platform.  ------------- |

That's a good one, M3. We're still seeing the 2001 models going for $12K-15K on this site. Hum, pay $19K in 1986 and sell for $15K in 2006?!?! Find me a truck like that! Now would that be American or Japanese?...D'oh! Ken ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1052&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - Nautique 2001 |

Hey, I bought a 1978 Ski Tique new for $7,000. Used it for 10 years and sold it for $7,000 to buy my 88. Gotta love that  ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1160" rel="nofollow - 1988 Ski Nautique |

Were these boats really 19k new in 86?? ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1801&yrstart=1976&yrend=1980 - 82 2001 jon4pres@gmail.com Fort Scott Kansas |

Yes, depending on the options. The deluxe interior and 454 option kicked it into the low 20's. The 454 HO added another $3,000. The Silver Nautique sold for exactly $25,000. So the range was from $19K to $25K for the '86's.
I know these prices, because in 1986, I dreamed about getting one. My Dad and I stopped into Denny's Marine in Grafton, MA and looked at them. No dice, my Dad didn't see the need in a $19K ski boat. So we bought our 1985 left over 8 HP Evinrude for our 12' Gamefisher tri-hull boat. That cost $800 at the time. For some reason, I thought $19K was reasonable for a Nautique, even though I was 13 years old.

That doesnt really matter though, there are ALOT of companies out there that include the swim platform in the overall lenghths. I'm not really a fan of it, but it doesnt really make a difference...

I read an article on the costs of boating, it included the purchase of a new boat, and all the little details associated with owning and operating the boat and then it was divided by hours used. not necessarily a ski boat unless its an 2008
it equaled $500.00 per hour. i had a hard time swallowing that number ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

So do I... I wouldn't be able to afford it on my salary if that number were true. I'm pretty sure my 89 doesn't cost nearly as much  ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |
