New to Nautique Ownership and New to the Forum. Read lots of post you all posted before we purchased, and the community seems very strong and supportive.
The family is loving Nautique ownership so far, and the boat has been a great memorial to my late father.
Being older it has its quarks, but gets lots of compliments and pics taken of it on the local lakes.

Sharp boat, love that tower on the older boats, too.

Looks really well cared for based on those pictures, even the trailer looks like someone spent a lot of time making it just right.

Thanks Guys, and we really love the way it looks with the tower too. It has been really well looked after, We are only the third owners. The only major work that has been done is the interior updated, even have heated seats for those cold Northern Days, Perfect Pass for surfing and a Tower for wakeboarding fun. The last owner also re-worked the trailer with full length steps and full bracing and guard for the prop and rudder. We have added 2 Jump Seats for the kids as there was no rear bench. But overall it runs smooth, and we are looking forward to many years of fun on the water.

Hey,

I have the same boat as well.   You're right...lots of quirks.   Mine has been a project for awhile now.   Stay in touch. I have some parts. I often have questions.   Maybe we can help each other out.   

Love the tower on your boat. What brand is it?

Mine was in decent shape to start so that has helped. Just had some carb issues that seem to be worked out. Just have to really let it warm up before backing off the trailer, the it runs great all day. No I have to work on programing the Perfect Pass, and maybe wiring up the heated seats the last guy had installed.

As for the tower it is a Correct Craft tower that the last owner had cut down to fit the boat. From a distance you cant tell, until you look closely and see the new welds. I looks nice, works well, just wish it wasn't so hard to finally get board mounts mounted. Had to do a lot of cutting and drilling to the mounts, but they work now!!

And by all means, keep in touch and if you have any questions let me know. New to this but might have some insight. Would also love to see a pic of yours.
