Took a while but got some decent pics

03 SANTE Despite all the problems that will soon get ironed out, it is pretty cool. I dont know if that side sticker was available in 03 or maybe late in 03, anyone confirm this? I thought it was added later but the previous owner didnt seem like the type to do that.

Anyway, enjoy.

Great looking boat. Might I make a suggestion. Some new numbers for the front. Also I wouldn't load any extra ballast or weight to that trailer. IMO

RE: Took a while but got some decent pics

I need to get new numbers. I bought it from NE and I live in MN. I havent decided on what numbers to go with but I am thinking domed numbers might be nice.

As far as the trailer goes, since it is a trailer queen, I would have liked to have a tandem. The tires flatten out going over bumps pretty good even though the pressure is up to spec. I do have a spare tire mounted just in case for now. I may get a tandem in the future though.

RE: Took a while but got some decent pics

In regards to your graphics question, I believe those are from '04 because they are the same as the ones I had on my '04 216.

Go with the domed numbers. They look so good one they're on.

Nice boat. Enjoy!!!

I believe this was the original style of the side graphic

RE: 2003 SANTE Graphic

I looked into the boat when winterizing and realized that the hull is 03, the motor was stamped 4/22/03, some sensors said 2/03. Maybe it was manufactured late enough in the year for the newer graphic? Maybe it was just changed? Maybe I am looking to far into this? Lol, thanks for the comments

RE: 2003 SANTE Graphic

Looks like you got a rare one there, late '03 with '04 color scheme/graphics but the '03 tower. You got the best of both years! Nice ride!

03 was supposed to be the last year with the old style AIR logo.

RE: 2003 SANTE Graphic

I don't know a ton about these boats, but I think the AIR graphic was the same for 2004 and 2005.

So the seconday stripe is the same color as the main, no big deal. (Assuming you call the swooping tip to tail the "third" stripe).


Love the mailbox numbers!

RE: 2003 SANTE Graphic

A lot of changes to Correct Craft boats happen throughout the year. One example, the GT-40 engine was available in the beginning of model year 2002, but not at the end.
In 2003, Correct Craft introduced the 206, the 216, and the 226.
A Ski Nautique was renamed the Ski Nautique 196.
The Super Air was renamed the Air 210. After a while, due to customer requests, and dealer complaints, the "Super" was added back to the name in mid 2003, and a bunch of "Super" decals were made and sent to dealers for the 2003 "Air 210" boat that they had in stock, or had sold. So the boat became a "Super Air 210" with the addition of a decal. Later in model year 2003, the 210 left the factory with the "Super Air" decal already on it.
The red and black boat is an example of a boat that was an "Air 210" when it left the factory, that had the "Super" decal added above the "Air" on the back of the boat, by the dealer. The other two boats left the factory as a "Super Air 210"

RE: 2003 SANTE Graphic

How many times have you seen boats get "new" graphics after they owner bangs them all up? Lots. I definitely remember a lot of owners of 2004s start ordering their boats "naked" because of that graphic.

My 05 is naked because i didnt want to risk tearing up that crappy graphic.
