How does that YJ do towing that big of a load?

It's a bit slow to get it going but once you get to cruising speed then it's no problem, to pull it out of the water it has no issues what so ever.
The boat looks like new in side out, it has only 380 hours.

Check the engine picture.

cinekw,
Great looking boat & really nice Jeep!
But be careful towing w/ the Wrangler.
My understanding is that they have the low tow rating due to wheelbase.
It could tow a house, but the weight pushing around the short wheelbase can be disater. (I've got a 97 TJ and would love to be pulling the Nauti w/ the top down, but use my expedition because I tow long distances)
Just be safe!

Great looking boat! And the engine looks like new!!!
One thing, on the right you can see the sparks wires touching the exhaust manifault. I cannot believe that that is a thing you want.

Very nice! spic and span! You must spend a lot of time keeping it clean.

Any more interior pics?

Looks like someone cut loose with the black spray paint can on the exhaust headers, elbows, and invertaflo! I had a friend who had the front wheels of his wrangler off the ground on a steep ramp- very scary experience. Definately not a tow vehicle! That is a heavy boat!

You are all correct, the Jeep is not the best tow vehicle but I only have 10 minutes to the boat ramp, the trailer comes with brakes so that helps with stopping. The previous owner did some touch up paint job on the engine and he did a good job. The boat runs very well with the new ACME 612 prop but now I need to figure out how to get the wake to be bigger.

That platform is in outstanding shape. Actually, the whole boat is. VERY nice.

I agree. I love the picture of the dash. It looks brand new.

Hey, with a boat that clean you may as well order the plastic flame arrestor cover from Skidim!

That is one of my favorite paint schemes ever on a nautique. Only 2 years that they had that. PRETTY boat.
