This is my 1986 ski Nautique. I bought it from the original owner in 1997 and enjoyed it for more than 20 years on Lake Hartwell in 2016. We sold our lake house and the boat went into hibernation in a warehouse where unfortunately it’s sat for five years. My wife had decided that we were going to build a house in the north Georgia mountains instead of back on Lake Hartwell so, heading to see my boat sitting. I sold it to a friend of mine in 2021. three months after I sold the boat, we decided to build back on Lake Hartwell and my boat was gone. I started the search for another 1986 ski Nautique about four months ago. My friend that I had sold my old boat to was actually helping me trying to locate another 86 Nautique. After multiple trips of looking at boats in three states. My friend called me and asked me if I would like to buy my old boat back! It was one of the best days of my life for sure now all is right in the world again.
