Looking for a '99 - '01 Ski Nautique or Sport/Air Nautique

[Fidget247]

He everyone, we are selling our vintage Mustang (see posting) and am looking to buy a '99 to '01 Ski, Sport or Air Nautique. Prefer Direct drive, and ideally with the following:

* Under 800 hours
* Trailer
* Decent original or updated upholstery
* Bimini
* Perfect Pass
* Good running motor
* Fresh Water only
* Good cover.

Price range is 18k and under. It is not necessary to sell my Mustang to acquire a Nautique.

I live in SW Ohio, but lake is in NE Indiana. Local to me would be great...but I can drive to pick up the right boat.

Thanks for helping the new-guy to the forum out!

My old 99 Pro Air Nautique is for sale at Biathouse Marine in Ohio. It was a great boat.

If you end up looking at direct drives you will find boats well under 18K, for that price you'd have to have a pretty pristine boat with new interior. I wouldn't limit yourself too firmly to the under 800 hours, if well maintained there's no reason the engine can't go 2000 hours. NaughtyNautique's boat looks really nice, and it's near you.

That boat looks really sweet. If you can get that for around $17,000 it would be a great deal. I paid $17,000 for my 99 Air in Sep 2016 with out all the options that boat has, but my boat only had 154 hr on it. You will be happy with an Air they are really sweet.

Good luck Warrior, you've got 2 really nice boats to consider now. Amazing the low hours on an 18 year old boat! Ask the seller if the pretty women go with the boat!
