Very Nice! Color combo looks great! Have fun w/ it...

Great Boat 3-Event Guy! Nice color combo, I like it. Very striking and will stand out amongst other typical red hull patterns. Hey, does everyone like the hydrogate? Never been behind a CC with one, and wonder if people feel it makes much of difference? Just interested with all of the controversy surrounding Bu's Wedge system, etc.

I skied behind the hydrogate at Jack Travers last spring while they were prototyping it. The slalom wake remains unchanged. For tricks, the gate creates a flatter table and slightly bigger and crisper wakes and for jump, the gate is in the up position with a similar wake. It is nothing likes the Bu's wedge.

Try searching to learn more about this. There is plenty of information on this site explaining it in full detail.

I really like this color combo. I was wondering how the colored hull would look on this boat. Very sharp!

Sweet boat. Do you have a buyer for it next fall?

[SNMike]

Not yet, but it is available on October 1, 2006.

[slob02]

MAN!!!!!!! I hope you have a heated garage. It is going to be cold while you are sitting in the boat all winter!

[skiinxs]

Really nice color combo. It is making me second guess my '06 (too late to change now). Where do you promo?

Absolutely beautiful! Great looking classic color scheme. I bet the dark blue in place of the red would also look beautiful. Bringing back the block letters on the side and the CC on the back is one of the best things they did for this new batch of boats.

We are in South Eastern Wisconsin. Thanks for the replies.

[M3Fan]

My lord, that is something. Great color scheme.

[MARK-S]

Where do you get your boats from? I get mine at SON in Anoka,MN.

[WI_3_Event_Guy]

I have been getting my boats through Excel Water Sports in Lannon, WI. He ihas been very good to work with.

That is the first SKI NAUTIQUE that I have drooled at since the 1989 model line.
Best thing they have done graphically in the last 10 years. Congratulations. I was almost a promo driver, but the deal fell through. Congratulations again!

Since when is Red and White a risk in Wisconsin?? Great looking boat!

[WI_3_Event_Guy]

Good point! Should be a good boat for all of the Badger fans. I was hesitant to go with a red hull because they tend to be more work to keep clean and also show all of the scratches. It looks nice though!

Thanks for all of the comments!

[ihaveansv211]

looks great!! the color looks good all the way through the boat like that, very clean too

Mark S - how are Son Watersports to deal with and is there any person you recommend at their store?

[MinnesotaNautique]

Roadking,

I would recommend the Son Watersports in Wisconsin....
I have never had a good experience at the location in Anoka:(

[WI_3_Event_Guy]

The decal is about 7-3/4" tall throughout. Thanks for all of the comments.

[MARK-S]

Contact Mark at sonwatersports. Tell them I sent ya, they wont let you down. Its a small shop, but they sell and service well.

[MinnesotaNautique]

I disagree, and so will a hand-full of other people on this site. Mark is a piece of work...I have my nautique serviced at the mc dealer.

[nautique95]

I think Mark at Son in Anoka is a great person to deal with, he loves the product, knows the product, and has been with CC for a long time!! I have dealt with Mark and I don't think you can find a better guy to deal with, friendly and helpful!!

Great color, you can't go wrong with red or blue! I have a vapor blue Air 206 and LOVE IT!!
