Very nice 1989 Ski Nautique completely restored. Great boat for everyday on the water. Perfect starter boat to get you on the water for a reasonable price.
The list of work that has been completed to the boat is pretty extensive. ..
The engine was replaced before I purchased the boat. I do not have any paperwork for the engine. I can tell you that it has aftermarket freeze plugs in the block, The block is not painted (I believe original engine blocks were a sparkle blue color) The engine runs great, no misses, idles correctly, throttle response is great. The only thing I haven''''t tracked down yet is a very low idle on a cold engine. I''''m assuming that is a choke/carburation problem not an engine issue and really isn''''t that big of an issue if you give the boat a minute to come up to temperature before taking off for the day.
Other items, reman. alternator, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, exhaust manifold gaskets, and a rebuilt water pump.
I replaced the stringers in the floor. The boat was completely gutted, all the bad material was removed, replaced and re-glassed into place. Marine grade plywood was used in conjunction with closed cell foam to complete the project.
New carpet
Engine cover was redone about a year ago.
One of the rear side seats was rebuilt and the other is on the list to rebuild this winter.
Remanufactured transmission installed. The 1 year warranty expired on July 4th of this year.
Steering cable
Cutlass bearing
Current acme nibral prop on the boat was redone and the boat comes with a second standard OEM propeller
2 12 volt power outlets installed
The battery location was moved to the LH side of the driver''''s seat for easier access. The original position was underneath the bow in front of the spotter seat. A real pain to get to.
