I had picked up a 1972 orange national tow ski nautique I was hoping that I would be the one to "save" it but it seems that I have way to many projects and to many boats (1979 barefoot nautique, 1990 SN, and the 72) . The 1972 pro mo looks like the rudder bolt to the steering cable broke and the boat was put away and left to die. All the spark plug wires are still connected along as the battery cables to the battery. I paid 1000 for the boat and just want what I have into it back, I thought I would let CCF know first. I am located in manteca CA. My computer is down and can't post pics with my Iphone

I don't have any pics right at the moment sorry for not getting back to you guys, condition of boat . Somewhere down the line the lower portion of the boat was painted black just below water line. Boat needs new stringers, As far as the jelcoat I believe it could be wet sanded on the top and the sides buffed out depending on what you chose to do with the bottom being black. Interior we'll there is none I just have the aluminum frames for the observer and driver. All 3 speedos are there one with broken lense.. The motor is the Chrysler 340 the condition is unknown as well as trans. It's on a trailer that I put a new axle on but have not tried to regester it took me 2 years to finally get this boat regestered it was a serious PIA
I need to really make it clear that I am just Thinking about selling this one the more info I'm letting out it's getting harder for me. I need to sell one it's this one or the 1991 Sn |

Dan, these have been escaping me for a few years. Even if you decide to keep it, please put me on the list down the line.
Otherwise, let me know. |

Same here. I sounds like Wisconsin is a good home for it. Then even if I cannot own it I can go steal it for a weekend from time to time

The long road to restoration begins. Not mine. I'm just a middle man. Towed it to my house today. BKH

Thanks for posting those Brian.
The boat itself is in need of a FULL restoration. Stringers, bottom paint, interior, and most likely a rebuild on the Chrysler 340. I'll get some photos up as soon as I get home on Sunday. A big thanks to Dan for giving me the sale! If anyone knows a way to cheaply ship this thing from CA to WI please let me know! |

Cost to get a 72 promo from Arizona to Iowa recently was under 600 bucks on a very well run uship bid.... congrats on the purchase those things are awesome. That makes at least 5 around ... someday we will get a half dozen to a reunion!

It's pretty rough, but mostly complete. Some items are there, but broken (I could say the same for my Super Air). They are cool boats, and if you have the drive, it's definitely worth putting back together. BKH

Congrats Chris!
I suggest UShip as well. We used a guy out of St. Louis who was great to work with and cheap! If you end up driving and need a place to crash on I-80 around the DSM area don't hesitate to ask! |

for best performance, yes, but that's probably the only branch he found and didn't want to wait for more to grow or the saw to be invented

P.S. I have reasons to be in Tahoe. I could probably tow it up there which would save 200 miles on the trip, and pulling boat up the Sierra Nevada's.

I have about 90 options in the tumbler right now. Some of them very promising. Brian do you have a loading dock nearby?

I don't know. Maybe. Probably. Tell me the requirements. Nothing in my town, but I'm sure within 20 or 30 miles.
