Hi Guys
Finally the day came! Last night after 18 hours of driving, the Nautique is finally at my home and i can start the building. As some of you know it will be a long project and getting the wiring done is some of my first project, at least get some "overlook" over what they have tried with it. The story is that it was stolen and recovered by the insurance, and has been not used for more than 4 years. They have distroyed the interior and platform. Today I will go buy new maghoni planks for the platform and then start the "To-Do" list. Any inputs in this project are more than well come. For the curriuos ones: YES THIS IS MY ABSOLUT DREAM BOAT!!!!! :) :) :) This is my first CC Nautique, and I already LOVE it :) Im Locatet in Denmark - North Europe :) |

Congrats on your new acquisition. Keep us informed on your restoration. I believe teak is the wood of choice for platforms.

Welcome to CCFan fellow European and congrats on the new boat.
Good to see another one being rescued! And you already got the fact that we love pictures here You really came to the right place for a project like this. Great group of helpful and knowledgeable guys! Lots of adresses and websites to be found for getting parts (like Christines Marine for your interior for example). Or you can also call Zach at N3 Boartworks, great guy who helped me a few times already... So, to sum it up, you came to the right place And keep the posts (and pictures) coming |

Nicol looks like a great project. I did the same thing 20yrs ago with a 92ski. We used that boat for over 15yrs with no problems and had a great time teaching my kids to ski. I travel to AMS for work usually a couple of times a month. If you need parts from the US I my be able to help.
Good luck and keep on posting the progress. |

That looks to be a closed system running antifreeze right? If so just get a Fel Pro set of gaskets,no need for marine ones.Compression should not be more than 10% between highest and lowest.

Well well well
Whats the status, the status is that the engine is all checked up now, firing 150Psi on all Cylinders and it is cleaned up and painter. Looks like a bran new. Last night i started making the platform, everything is made by hand. The boat I have build a tent on so the rain and snow not will take its life away. |
