Wow, thanks for the info MikeC... I was unaware of all that coding. Oldest boat I've ever owned was 1984 CC 2001 so I guess I've always been used to the new coding format.

That is clearly not a "2001" boat no matter who sprayed what paint on the side.

ok, as i say i dont know anything about it which is why im here :P you guys have been a great help! so tht decal has obviously just been added on then?

The boat was painted/gelcoated to look like a 1985 Ski Nautique, it is really a 1978 Ski Nautique.

It is definitely not a 2001 CC. All the 2001 models had the 1 piece windshield.

I have a 78 martinique with the same split windshield with the vents in the bottom as yours. Yours looks to be a combination of the 2001 with the rear vent on the stern, but has a weird non stock looking hood scoop. My Martinique is pretty much a pimped out version of the Ski Nautique with a few extra nice features like a rail in back with a swim ladder.

No need to spread inaccurate information, we already know what year the boat is.
