    Our 2003 206

    After years of saving and shopping, I was able to buy our first Nautique for our family. This pic is at Lake Norris last summer, but we typically ski on a small lake in Aurora, OH. We have loved how versatile this boat is. We have pulled slalom skiers into 35 off, trick skiers, barefooters, wakeboarders, kneeboarders, learn to ski, and even surfed. We are especially proud that we have never had a tube behind our boat.

    Awesome, however surfing is a lame close second, LOL

    Congrats on the boat, 206 is a great all around boat. Curious if you know the owner history on that boat, any chance the original owner was John B from the west shore water ski club??

              We are not surfers but on our trip last year, we loaded a fat seat and and extra small fat sac in the back corner. If there was any boat traffic, I would not have done it. We drove parallel to our friends X-2 (made by some other company we will not name) and were able to get their daughters to belly surf between the boats. It was pretty cool, but the girls were nervous with the massive combined wakes.
              I ski the course, and kneeboard (yes one of 5 kneeboarders left over the age of 10) and take occasional barefoot ride on the boom. My wife is a barefoot junkie but will also ride the slalom ski. We are pathetic wakeboarders. But that and double trick skis are something to do when the water sucks.
              My brother is a trick skier, so he will practice prior to his tournaments from time to time.


              Double D, we are at Aurora Lake which is not far from where Sea World used to be. Small lake with a course, but more than 2-3 boats, makes it tough to do much of anything. Too many tubers and surfers. We also go to a lake is westen PA where my parents have a 94 nautique. On water whenever possible. If we are not skiing, we are fishing and if the lake is frozen, we are playing pond hockey.
              Happy Skiing to all

                So its a private lake you live on? Very nice!! Ever ventured to Berlin or Westbranch? My brother and I favor Berlin until it gets to low then were heading South to Salt Fork. Do some cruising around on Portage Lakes some weekend evenings as well.

                  The elderly woman across the street lets me maintain her dock and use my lift. So, we can walk across the street and go. So, we do not venture too far from home with the boat other than our trips to Norris. Its great for lunch break runs when my wife has the boat ready to go.
