Boy, I wish that I had ordered horns on my 1968! I would have been honking the horn all the time on the river while passing my ski buddies house "Chicken Little." They would have needed to be chrome and as big as I could get. Big trumpet, as big as a trombone! This may have cut 5 mph on top end!

The otherNautique in the back is my buddy's 86.

I have 1 horn that cracked and broke. They both still work, however they need replaced.

I would really like exact match. Several years back I checked with Kieth at Midwest CC and he could not find one.

82 Nautique 1,

What a great boat! The interior looks like a combination from 1986-88! Perfect, and the carpet with the super clean engine! This is a great looking boat that has been well taken care of. What is the issue with the horns? Are they damaged or that they just don't work? Also, I noticed the rear end of another Nautique in your picture. What year is that one?

I am interested in a set of the horns, I could not find exact replacements. My 82 came from Midwest CC as well. If anyone has a set, let me know.

Bruce,
Its not about the electric or air (btw...air is the only way to go on an old boat ) I just dont like the look on the 64 for some reason... and I LOVE air horns!

What boat you need air horns for?

Steve, If you have a pair of those horns, want to sell them? Or better yet trade them for an appropriate electric horn that would have been an option for your '64?

These are the air horns on my 68 cuda, right after I bought the boat. Im guessing they are the originals..







Not the best pics,but boat is in storage...

They will definately stay on this boat and the 66 cuda, but somehow, I cant come to mounting a set on the 64.

Eric bought his 1986 SN with horns and deck rails, he took them off though. Anyone looking for horns might try asking him.

Thought that you guys would enjoy seeing this picture from the 1983 brochure! This was a 1982 with the same horns on the front! I also noticed that the boat of the month has chrome horns on the front! Hopefully he will add those to this post!

Very interesting thread. No horns on any of my boats but......

Imagine my surprise when upon going to our new Church in Lake Wales Florida I was talking to a member or two when they asked me what I was interested in...said "water skiing" of course and they said that Doc Morgan was a member. Wow. Had been reading about him and seeing his picture in Water Ski for years. Got to meet him. Cool guy. Almost 70 (yikes) now. Never got to ski with him...he has had a hip replacement but he did cut off a bit of skin cancer on my face. Is always after me every Sunday about staying "covered up" while on the boat.

Funny that this post came up, I just got ahold of these yesterday, pretty close to my originals but the mounting base is a little bigger. Even the chrome matches the rest of mine.

Yes, we use to ski the course! Only possible time was early in the morning because of boat traffic! I believe that was Steve's ski school who is friends with Jerry or may be Roger Wahls and Jim Peterson's (both heavy MasterCraft people). Over the years, Jerry owned 9 Ski Nautiques over many years! When I went to his ski school he had a 1977 red and a 1977 blue and a basement full of trophies. My impression was that this guy had it all!!! He missed third place at a nationals tournament by 20 points to Dr.J.D.Morgan! It made my day when he called me about his 1984 boat, but was shocked about no skiers had yet skied behind it.
I have been up at Medicine Lake with the Zman. I believe that area is called the North... something which is in between weeds or lilly pads on both sides, but goes a long distance. People on the lake seem to cooperate very well in using that calm area of the lake. My last trick tournament was in Crystal Minnesota in 1990. I was able to take home a third place medal. Afterwards I started learning how to show ski from my good friend Skierbrant! Good skiers need dependable boats with dependable speeds! The throttle on this 1984 is very smooth, as good as Pauly-Banana's 1983 for holding slower speeds. Good Speed control for guys like Jerry and Pauly-Banana make all the difference in the world when pulling skiers that are trying to accomplish something out on the water.

Thanks for the questions and keep the Horn pictures going!

Scott...first of all, GREAT looking '84. I love the clean look of '84's, and that color combo is really cool.

We used to live in Plymouth, MN back in the '86-'87 timeframe. Skied alot on Medicine Lake which had a great little bay for skiing. I found a guy running a ski school down on Prior Lake who had a submergible slalom course. Sweet system!! All you had to do was flick a switch and a slalom course emerged. Flick it again, and it disappeared. Took all of about a minute round trip.

He had an '83 or '84 Ski Nautique that looked just about like yours. That was my first experience skiing behind a Ski Nautique. Fond memories! Did you ever see that course or ski with the gentleman that owned it?
