Brand new 1995 Nautique hull

Sure - drop me a line any time. Kevin dot Roundhill at gmail dot com is a very easy way to start the ball rolling. Shipping will be a bear, but maybe if I can find one big box it would not be too bad.

I have a spare fuel tank. And those straps. and I MIGHT even have those missing brackets. I don't recall exactly what I saved and what is missing. I know that I have the elbow you need for the ventilation system that is missing too (the hole on the starboard side just aft of the engine bay).

Careful, '93 and '95 are different in the stern area and will most likely not share the same fuel tanks. CC added a gentle curve to the shape in 1994.

Yeah, I'm worried about what will not translate between 1993 and 1995. I noticed that curve too. My boat does not have those vent lines that are hanging down in the back either, so there are differences.

Somebody with a 1995 boat - open up the back and start taking some pictures for us! What does the tank look like? How is it held down?

I can show him anything he need's from my '95

Gun-driver,

I talked to Ron today and asked him about that cover you have and he said that they are out of business. Sorry about the bad news. I would think somebody should be able to duplicate that cover. There is a awning shop near me that I think could make it. Culp Meyer Awning 4545 Shepler Church Rd. Canton, Ohio 44706. If you need the phone I can get that for you.

Looks like the tank in the 1995 is curved much more than in a 1993. I will try to find a model number on the tank of a 1995.

Here is the info from the sticker on the tank in my 1995 SN EFI. It is exactly like the picture posted earlier (including the recessed well for the fuel pick-up).

Manufacturer: INCA Molded Products, Inc. (6400 Louisiana Ave. Nashville, TN 37209. 615-350-7290)
Model No.: F02653
Serial No.: 208051
Date Mfg.: 09/21/1994
Capacity: 26 gal. (98 liters)
Material: Crosslink Poly
Wall: 0.200

Hope this helps. If you need any more pictures of the tank out of the boat I have a few that I can send you.

I am very pleased to have been wrong about the difficulty involved in getting a HIN. Great project!!!

Could Cooper weight the boat to see if it has the normal hull structure?

I was hoping Art had some more accurate info on this. Any Shipping records? It does not look like a sign prop. Very interesting!!

When I was in high school, I worked for an industrial/commercial lawn mower dealer. Occasionally, we'd have a new mower that would become a donor mower for new parts to replace badly needed items that weren't in stock.

It always started out with the intention that the parts robbed off of the donor mower would be replaced asap and the mower would be sold alongside the other newer, never molested mowers. Sometimes that happend, sometimes not.   It would seem even more unlikely with a much higher priced item such as this, but it makes you wonder.

It seems weird that this boat would be so complete for any type of advertisement. Alot can happen in 18 years. Perhaps the dealer forgot or confused the details of the acquisition of this boat?

Seriously, it's too complete and would be too expensive and too nice to use as outdoor signage. You also, wouldn't want it incomplete for use as an indoor advertisement or boat show sales piece? And, if it was ordered as such a piece by a dealer from CC, why wasn't it used that way? I'm guessing there'd be considerable liability for CC to make a boat so close to completion, yet not complete and signed off on as being finished.

Very mysterious, but very interesting. I'd be interested to know too if that HIN is hidden down there under the teak platform

Sorry Cooper, I meant the OP in my post.

So how did you get the HIN? or would you have to kill us if you told us?

Was it already on the hull?

try calling Chris or James at this number, they both worked at Ron's during that time frame and may have some info on the boat, they own a mastercraft dealership now but got their start at Rons,330-325-822

Didnt all this come up before? Who has a better memory than me, or better searching skills? Matt and Reid at Race City ended up with a boat that had been a "sign" no interior, no engine, etc. Acquired a no hour GT40- an interior etc and got it back to a functioning boat. I maybe wrong but I thought it was also a 95 ish nautique.. if so then that would indicate a pattern, a program or something of the like?
