I purchased this 1980 Ski Nautique about 4 years ago from a local farmer. I’m pretty sure that I’m the third owner of this boat. Since I was a kid, growing up going to the lake, I’ve always wanted a Nautique. I got a great deal on this classic, so I couldn’t pass it up. I know that it’s not the original color. I have the original engine cover and the color was maroon. I am in the process of a complete stringer up restoration. I’m gonna try to post the process in the forums. To all you guys that have restored one before, I’m gonna need some great info. I’ll post a forum & some pics asap.
