This is our first Ski Nautique, and our second boat. Before this boat came into my life, I was an avid water skier skiing in the slalom course behind our 2003 Sea Ray 182. After I received a pull from my friend’s Ski Nautique 196, I was hooked. I was 15 at the time. Ever since then I loved Nautiques, I could spot one a mile away. I was always trying to sell our Sea Ray so we could upgrade to a Nautique. Then this boat came along. I stumbled upon it surfing the Son Watersports web site; a regular occurrence for me. I pointed it out to my parents. The next day I listed our Sea Ray on Craigslist, and woke up the next morning to 18 inquiries. It sold that afternoon; I was on my way into my first Ski Nautique. We picked it up late in February 2010; I was 17 at the time. We later went out on it for our very first time in April, now that is early for Minnesota.

It is wonderful to finally be living the Nautique life, after several years of hoping and dreaming it has finally came true for me. I can tell you in complete honesty that I will never buy another boat, unless it is a Nautiuqe. This is my first Nautique, but definitely not me last!
