There is a big difference between my former Tique, Tim's former Tique and what you posted. The surface looks a little similar but what is original and what is quick fix is significant...... I don't want to pick apart for sale boats... they may be past or future CCfan friends'..... but that boat has many cosmetic "variations"....... and that's without knowing structure and function.

This is what happens when stupid people try to make graphics by taking a digital picture of the old. There are several others on site as well but that by far is the worst smiley I've seen. |

Hahahaha!!! I've often wondered how people can get masking tape to bend like that. And, when it's all done, just exactly what is the arrow suppose to be pointing at???
Maybe they intended to do a flame, then just said: aw to hell with it! |

I've seen the same horrible stripe/arrow on a couple boats before, identical. It makes my eyes burn. I'm guessing this guy has redecaled a few others the same stupid way.
I'd stick with a $4500 budget. Over 5k and it better be an amazing boat! That'll get you in the water tomorrow in a good looking clean boat and footing. 318's never went into the Tiques or was Chrysler pushed out by '76? We had a '73 (I think) Skier that had the original 318 in it. |

'74 is about the latest I've seen a small Chrysler in a cc... Except for a few mid 80's boats that got 360's (but they're rare). It was mostly Ford with a few chevies mixed in by the time the Tique came out in '76.
The over-curved stripe is what happens if you install decals with the stripe cut straight. Due to the curvature of the hull, the decal actually has to be cut with a downward curve. Rookie mistake! That's why repainting those graphics (note: only the graphics should be painted, NOT the entire hull) is usually recommended for both the original look AND ease of getting it in the right spot. I still question the motivation to look at the Tique as it's not a superior barefoot boat to the larger (more powerful) models... But if you're drawn to it for other reasons, that's ok. Has this one been looked at? Looks clean. Not sure of the asking price. http://wausau.craigslist.org/bod/4521961254.html |

There are a couple motives to the Tique.
I'd like to be able to pull behind my Subaru which has a tow capacity or 2700lbs. As you know I am also budget conscience and I'm not looking purchase a tow vehicle. Additially, in the price range, I hope to find a good solid Tique for years to come. As opposed to a 2001 (which seems to start at $8500.00) that's been run hard and needs to be brought back to life. These days I'd like to get out take a few barefoot circles & back steps and teach my nieces and nephews to ski. Thus passing the torch. These are my motives. (Yes I looked at the boat in the link below. No longer for sale) |

Smaller tow vehicle and limited storage space are the top 2 reasons to gravitate towards a Tique... Now I get it. I don't think a 2001 would stretch the budget that much though, to be honest... And I think you'd be amazed at the improved functionality and ski performance of the boat over a 16 footer... I just sold a very clean '84 2001 for nowhere near $8k, 5-6k would buy you a VERY nice one- but if the tow vehicle is a hard constraint, forget it- 2001 is 1k lbs heavier with the delux trailer and even the Tique will stress a 2700lb rating pretty good. The 2nd gen SN falls right between the 2 in size, weight and functionality. Just some things to keep in mind.
I would also add the Skier to your list- those never had platforms (neither did Tiques before '78) and their pylon diameter is a little smaller (2" vs 2.5") so boom work requires a modified clamp- but otherwise they're the same boat minus the graphics. Skier used the same 16'5" hull 71-75 that the Tique got in '76. |

Howdy,
Thanks for your suggestions. Any idea what the tow weight of the 81-85 2001 is. Thx. |

I totally understand the desire for a Ski Tique, lil boat with a bada$$ attitude. It's def on my to do list. The Skier doesn't have tracking fins as the Tique has one correct? Keep in mind the '80's Tiques were actually 2nd generation Ski Nautique hulls.
My .02, watch the NC area. I seem to find good boats for $4k. |

2300 lbs for an early 2001, plus 750-900 on the trailer (83.5+ delux being towards the upper end).
2000 + 750 for a 2gen SN (70-81) or 2gen Tique (82-84) 1600 + 450 for a 1gen Tique (76-81) or Skier Yes, the Tique has a single small fin, slightly better turning (though less fun) than a Skier. Definitely doesn't track like a 2001 (3 fins and a padded keel), or even a 2gen SN (2 fins). |

82 Tique is same hull as the G2 SN, not the 16' Tique. I almost bought an '82 with a 350 (original equipped). |

Correct. The 16'5" 76-81 Tique sold in respectable numbers and is the boat the OP is talking about... I'm guessing he didn't even know the 2gen 82-84 Tique existed, as it never sold in big numbers. Most were still 302's, as it was a budget boat- though the larger small blocks were optional. |

Your comments & suggestions were very helpful, thank you.
The search is over. Looks like I'll need a new vehicle after all. The title of this thread should now be "Found: 1982 2001" It's clean and ready to go. |

The one in Antioch? If so, that looked like one heck of a deal if the interior is clean. I think you're really going to like the 2001.

I was thinking about a vehicle like this to pull the new boat.
Any experience or do you think this will do it both locally and on a road trip? https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/4589954985.html |

Those don't do anything great, but they don't do anything terrible either. With that age and mileage you could expect a lot of use out of it, just not great mileage or much power. If you are looking at it purely as a second vehicle for pulling/camping duty it would be hard to do better for the price.

That's what I'm looking for. Pull the boat to the lake a few miles away or the cabin 100 miles away. |

Congrats, we are right next to Antioch, when are you picking it up? If you need somewhere close to test drive it I am on deep lake and have a private launch.

Thanks Q. I picked it up yesterday. We test drove it on a lake that had a bar / boat launch called The Sand Bar.

Thanks.
Right now it's at Wonderlake, IL. I'd be happy to give you a pull tomorrow sometime between 12 - 2pm. After that it's headed up Lauderdale Lakes, WI. It will split time between the two locations. |

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.
