Hi, I am new to this forum and thought I would get some suggestions on what to do with this 1995 Nautique hull. I bought it from a retired Nautique dealer. This hull has never seen sun or rain and is in mint condition. It looks like a brand new boat without a motor and trans. Complete interior, cover everything perfect. The dealer was able to buy this boat as a display boat with the intention of finishing someday. That day never happened and now I have the project. I do have a 1990 nautique that I could use as a donor boat. I was able to post some pictures.
Thanks everyone Derek |

I am sure their is a lot of interest in the project, What do you want to do? Throw a number up their! Trailer? If it is for sale you might want to post it in one of the classified sections of this web site.
Cheers! Welcome aboard! |

What are you wanting to do with it?
Work on it and get engine and transmission for it/keep it? Sell it? I might be interested if you want to sell it??? |

Cool find. almost a shame to use it, but a bigger shame not to. Put an engine in that looks as new as the boat, and go have some fun!

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

I would really like to find a donor boat around the same year with a good motor and trans that has been wrecked or sat outside and forgotten about.

Looks like it needs more than a motor and tranny. Do you have the wiring harness, steering cable, fuel lines, battery cables, teleflex cables?
Is the gas tank in it? I think the best thing to do is... Sell it to me so I can put a stroker in it After looking at the pics again I noticed the cover looks idenical to the cover on my '95. Then I noticed the trailer pad's with Ron's on them and the light bulb went on. That's the same as the original cover that's on mine with a Ron's Nautiques patch sewn on the back. I'm guessing that's where my boat was purchased. PS: Best made cover I've seen yet. |

Wow! Yes, that is a great find. An engine should be pretty easy to find. Just don't put an Indmar in it!
One of our members Steve has a brand new Crusader for sale. It's however a different vintage. |

This sounds a bit unusual to me. Is there a Hull ID number on it? Did you get a title / bill of sale / paperwork with it?
I couldn't tell for sure in the photo of the bilge whether or not the aluminum engine bed is there. I don't see the tabs that the mounts sit on. A '95 would have been set up for a Ford engine..... Art |

Art,
This boat was sold as a display boat with no hull number or title to Ron's Marine. Larry Madlock at Nautique was the person that ran this down the assembly line minus motor, motor cradle, fuel tank, cables and some other small parts as well. It is fully wired, water tested, complete interior and exterior. Derek |

Do it right and make it a Zero Off boat right from the start. Putting a new Excalibur in there with ZO will make it essentially a BRAND NEW Zero Off equipped boat for a fraction of the price of a newer model. Even if you just flipped it immediately you'd make money if you ZO it right off the bat! Lots of people out there are looking for affordable ZO tractors right now.

Any way you look at it, it's not gonna be cheap to get it all new then it's still only worth what an immaculate '95 is worth.

Sell it to someone in a registration only state, that will probably be a real PITA to get a title for here in Ohio.

I would think the paperwork that did come with the boat plus the bill of sale in any state would be sufficient. ?? No hull #?? look on the starboard side upper transom. I must be there. |

A new bobtail PCM 343Ex is $8930 in the US. (Same engine is almost $14000 in Australia)
When you combine that with the rest of parts required you would probably have more in it than it is worth. Maybe go the other way look for a complete bobtail pull out that somebody has exchanged for a zero off unit. I do remember Jody having a couple for sale at one stage. |

Ron's Nautiques..Manuta Ohio. Great guy & great dealer..until he went Mastercraft.
He did have a source for the best covers I have ever seen. I believe he had an Amish gentleman that made them. john |

FWIW I don't believe that boat can ever be properly registered according to USCG certification regulations, and I didn't even get into the state regulations. The Hull Identification Number (HIN) is issued by the manufacturer and the boat comes with a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin (MCO). With these documents and individual compliance stickers for component parts ( fuel system, electrical system, flotation, capacity, ect) the manufacturer certifies that the boat complies with all regulations in effect on the date of manufacture.
Is there any way to certify that this boat complies with all regulations? Is Correct Craft (now Nautique) willing to issue a HIN and MCO certifying it complied on whatever date it was made? Is there any way to know that the boat, intended for a display, has all of the structural components necessary to comply with the USCG regulations? Does it have flotation? Did they bother to put stringers in it? Or is it just a fiberglass shell? Was it built using less fiberglass and reinforcement to save money and weight? Clue phone is ringing, answer it! It was made without a HIN for a reason! IMHO I believe this boat is suitable only for putting atop a marina signpost for advertising as was intended after removing the interior and anything else of value. Go out and find a really nice one used, you don't want the problems associated owning and with trying to register this boat. Sorry to rain on someone's parade. |

Not sure about Ohio but in Iowa but we can register boats as homemade. County official has to come out, make sure the boat doesn't have any of the above (HIN, MCO) and you're good to go. Any documentation would help explain the process. We're going through this process with our 55' Chris Craft Continental which came with no paperwork. Make friends with the folks in the right offices and you'll find a solution. Theres a way to get this done, just have to exhaust all options....well worth it since you've got a beautiful boat waiting to be used!
No one as asked the #1 question.....How do you plan to use the boat? If you're a 3-event guy then explore the excel/Zero Off option. If not, find a power plant and go skiing. |
