2002 Sport Nautique.....How did I do?

[BeaverLake02]

Hello all. New to the forum and really excited to dump even more money into the new (to me) boat. Purchased Dec 7th. I would like your honest opinions on how you think I did.

-Digitial guages look stock...most of the lines are out. Still reads engine hours....470 total.
-Factory Perfect Pass
-GT-40
-No ballast.(I think that's a good thing for me)
-Factory FCT version 2 (I think)
-Bimini is in great condition.
-Interior is in excellent condition. I attached a pic of the only splits which are on the rear back rest.
-Hull/ keel/prop is spotless.
-Carpet is very servicable.
-Needs: A new steering cable(Already ordered) and new stereo(Current works but just want something better.) Teak and trailer runners refinish/ refurb.

Thats about it. Oh, I paid $17,500. How do you think I did?

Looks good. Price is probably about right.

Looks like you did really well.

Nice color combo! Looks like a good deal to me, the main thing that matters is you are satisfied and it gives you many hours of quality lake time. Is it summer yet?

Nice looking boat! I have never seen that color combo before but I like it. You are correct that you have the second generation of the FCT. I think that you did quite well on the price.

The prop with the etched in Nautique "N" logo on each blade is pretty cool and definitely something I have never seen before. I am guessing the previous owner had access to a water jet or something and some spare time on his hands.

That's an original prop for that boat. It is an Acme made special for Nautique. All 2002 boats had props like that from the factory.

Oh cool, I have never seen one of those before. Thanks for the info.

Thanks all for your responses. I feel good about the purchase but wanted to hear what yall thought. I just received my first parts order from Nautiqueparts.com consisting of a new steering cable, new impeller, new sport decals(on sale so thought i should pick them up), new shaft packing access plate, and belts.

Hope everyone has a good Christmas holiday. Thanks again.
