NEVER thought this day would come.
but here it is i own a ford. :(

joking aside i love it. a 1982 Ski Nautique 2001. cant wait to sack it out and get the wake even bigger.
found her in austin and brought her home last week. took her out today for the first time. runs great. LOVE IT. gonna be a blast. cant wait to start wakeboarding behind my own boat this summer instead of paying gas on others. shes not pretty, but i didnt buy her for that. :D

bringing her home

I don't know what your complaining about. To those of us without our first Nautique, your looks awesome.

Congrats.

I got my first one last year, and believe me, you'll love that boat. Every hour of time you put in it just makes it that much better. I've redone all my teak, impeller's, sound system, wiring, rewired my trailer, etc. etc. and everything is fun on it! Just makes it that much better when you get it on the water. Besides, you'll need something to do when it's raining!!! That boat looks great and they're super solid.
