Looking at a 2001 Sport Nautique that is for sale which has a PCM 5.0 HO Engine. Was not aware that this engine was available for this model year boat. Will this engine provide sufficient power for barefooting, towing multiple skiers etc? ------------- '05 206 Limited '88 BFN |

Greg, I'm sure you've checked the reference section. The 2001 brochure shows the GT40 being the standard power for that boat with a couple of upgrade options. Maybe the previous owner is mistaken about the 5.0? ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

I'm pretty sure that engine/boat combo did exist, although they're pretty rare.
Here's a http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5415&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2000 Sport with the 305 To answer your question, not sure. At the 2010 NE reunion, there was a PCM rep there. I was always curious about those motors so I was asking him about them. He said that a top-level slalom skier could draw them down a bit and that they were basically as expensive to make as the 350 based motors so they kind of declined in popularity. I'd be curious though. I mean, they put out 275hp, which is more than the 240hp a lot of us have so you'd have to think it would perform decently. |

I'm looking for a '98 to '02 Sport like you. I've decided, after lots of discussion, to only go with a GT-40. These are pretty large heavy boats and cubic inches make a difference. HP ratings happen at higher rpms and you've got to get the prop turning to get up to those ratings so I think the 5.0 would suffer as compared to a GT-40. I have no way to prove it as I haven't driven one, but I'll go out on a limb and say that a 240 HP 351 might have better low end pull than the 5.0. Just a guess on my part, hopefully someone who has driven one will comment. ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

I just looked at your boat in the diaries, so you have a GT-40 now. If you end up selling the '96 let me know, even thought I'm pretty sure I want the 3rd generation Sport I haven't totally ruled out a nice 2nd gen and your boat looks really clean. ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

The boat inquired about above is for my brother who has long been a fan of CC's. As for my '96 I am not anticipating parting with it as is provides the room for all the gear, fellow skiers etc. In my opinion the only thing my current '96 is missing is a tower (not that big a deal) and me in the drivers seat more often! ------------- '05 206 Limited '88 BFN |
