Identify TSC1 hull or a TSC2 hull

[JoanU]

I want to purchase boat with the TSC2 hull. Current I am looking at a boat with the last 4 didget being I102.
that meaning, it was built in a September 2001, however it is a 2002 boat. Would this ski nautique 196 have a TSC1 hull or a TSC2 hull? The owner was unable to locate a logo. Thank you.

TSC-2 started in 2002, and all 2002 Ski Nautiques were TSC-2 hulls, even if they were built in 2001.

I will point out, just to be nit picky, that a 2002 Ski Nautique is technically not a 196. It is just a Ski Nautique. They didn't start using the 196 naming convention until 2003.

We're going to have an extremely nice 2005 Ski Nautique 196 (still a TSC-2) for sale in a few weeks once the full restoration is completed. This one will likely sell in the mid-$30K range: https://www.silvercovemarine.com/pos...ique-196-50269

The TSC 2 hull on my 2002 Ski Nautique is awesome. The wakes are small and softer than my friends '05 Malibu Response.
