Will Nautique still make the 200?

[jcamp]

This boat immediately jumps to the top of my wish list. Best looking boat of the Big 3. Will be interesting to see where the price comes in ... Someone needs to buy one of these things and sell it to me used in three years :-)

 

@Ilivetoski the old 200 was officially called the "Ski Nautique 200" while this boat is called the "Nautique 200." I'm thinking that's why/how they are saying it's the first "Nautique 200."

[BraceMaker]

Maybe its hull 1 of the Nautique (literally the first)

[Jody_Seal]

@RAWSki.

I think as with today's electronic world and what is available economically all the above mentioned is now standard equiped! Analog technology may now be more pricey then digital.

[skierjp]

FYI will not be on the Promo Team plan

[ski4xtc]

Good looking boat. The gelcoat options are pretty limited. Either all white or lots of color on the sides and deck which means a lot of time spent cleaning when you have hard water. The options look about the same except for the slide in air dam and bow cushions are options while standard on MasterCraft and Malibu. Really like how the rear seating is done. When I built the boat online, I did not see an MSRP. Will be interesting to hear price.

[scoke]

Well shoot. This changes things.

 

We weren't buying a new boat but if we can throw some yellow on there with the blue and get a heater, that would look good in my garage.

 

[skierjp]

I’m sure that’s without tower. The tower is a option

[Sethro]

Now that’s an aesthetically pleasing boat! Well done.

[MISkier]

@Gloersen, they say in the video the weight is 3300 without tower and 3400 with tower.

 

I wonder if the weight change is from including the engine weight versus not including it. In the past there have been some discussions that boat weights may not include the engine. Maybe that is the difference and the 2950 boat was really 3450.

[vtjc]

Wasn’t the 2010-18 200 a ‘Ski Nautique 200’, so are they dropping the SKI and calling it the first Nautique 200? Seems like splitting hairs.

[Sethro]

I just watched the walk through video, and noticed "River Mode" on the dash screen. Anybody know the details of how that works? I can only hope it switches the GPS speed input to a paddlewheel input, but I'd be surprised if that's the case.

[skierjp]

@scotchipman not sure about any changes with the hull but I can find out. That would have been some serious money to redo the mold.

[dave2ball]

My understanding is that is is only available in an OB with limited colors and options and I believe only a 6LTR motor.

[Drago]

I love how "we" all want Basic and cheaper, now there aren't enough options.

[Horton]

@Gloersen I've been led to believe that all those marketing weight numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm not saying the boats are heavier or lighter I've just been encouraged not to take them as fact.

[aspski]

 

So what is this thing? A Direct Drive Sport Nautique?

[KRoundy]

Looks great!!!

[storm34]

@aspski from what I gather - it's an open bow 200 with a new deck, new engine cover, modified interior and the new screen.

 

If the weight has gone up I'd guess it's from the new deck and additional fiberglass.

[BraceMaker]

@Drago - can't see where this is being offered as "cheap" ;)

 

 

[Justin]

Nautique made a reply a Facebook post saying it is based off the original 200, but with a completely redesigned hull.

''Nautique Boats Hey George, you are correct... the Ski Nautique is a completely new design for 2019 and the Nautique 200 is a new design as well, based off the old Ski 200 but it's also a completely new hull.''

[aspski]

@storm34 Thanks.

 

So if you are a skier are you getting one of the these or the ski nautique? I wonder if more companies will start to make boats to compete with this

[akale15]

@ski4xtc Nautique is showing a MSRP of $79,694

 

[storm34]

@aspski Answer to that questions is based on how you use the boat (open bow vs closed) and your budget.

[Drago]

.cheaper.

[eleeski]

Regarding the weight, the kids at SDSU told me that their new Nautique was going to be a different layup with more glass and no carbon for the school use and salt water. If they are using things like expensive carbon in normal boats, that will add weight if it is replaced with cheaper glass.

 

The open bow also adds some weight.

 

Real world weight might differ from the reported weight of a specific boat used for measurement.

 

Heavy boats are harder to tow.

[skierjp]

@ eleeski I'm going to say fake news. College kids wouldn't have that info anyway

[6balls]

Very nice. Would like some MC ski racks in there.

[Ilivetoski]

Listed as a multi sport???

[igkya]

@Ilivetoski yes, Multi-sport. Skiing and drinking.

[eleeski]

@skierjp Is there carbon in the new Nautique (not the 200)? Was there carbon in the Correct Craft built 200? Is there carbon in the Bryant 200 (or different resins/materials)?

 

Mission Bay Aquatic Center, the entity who operates the SDSU team boat, is a relevant dealer and test bed for Correct Craft. Maybe it is fake news, BS to explain the slow delivery or exaggeration of something minor. They did warn me that their wake might be different from the boat in Chile - and not delivered until after Chile.

 

Maybe the old weight was the fake news. Rumors will float until a credible explanation exists. Sorry if I'm repeating something erroneous.

[jayski]

Build sheet

[mbabiash]

Absolutely no change from rubrail down. Exact same running surface.

Straight from a one of Nautique’s main guys.

Same feel behind the boat and behind the drivers seat.

[Obrienslalom]

I showed pictures to my wife as a possible future replacement for the family open water replacement (for our Nautique 206). Her reaction, "where do you store stuff?".

 

If they are leaning more towards targeting the multisport/family crowd, removing the saddle bags looks good...but does force me to use the only storage for my ski. Appreciate something focused on this market, and hoping to see more! I think the boat looks great.

[Justin]

@mbabiash Straight from the website.

The running surface of the all-new Nautique 200 was designed from the award-winning and record-breaking Ski Nautique 200. Taking some of the best characteristics and even adding new ones, the hull of the Nautique 200 performs much like its predecessor and is an AWSA record-capable and tournament-approved towboat. Flat, soft wakes and responsive driving make this a great all-around ski boat with the capability of pleasing any level of water skier.

[powbmps]

Looks awesome!

 

Hopefully they come out with a side rack option.

 

Is the bimini from the Instagram post missing a support?

[mbabiash]

I’m just telling you what the nautique guy told me. The hydro gate is automated now. But it came from same mold. If they made a new mold they would have totally redesigned it I’m sure.

[Justin]

I'm just curious what they did change, if anything. Funny how before the new Ski Nautique came out the ''old'' 200 was the ultimate tournament boat, now it's marketed as family do- all workhorse....

[Justin]

I wish Nautique would release built in Ski racks like Mailbu, Mastercraft.

They just work and make sense.

[LoopSki]

i like it much better than 2019 SN . Still too much sea deck for me. I like carpet and upholstery. I bet it outsells the SN

[RINLE]

Now I have a reason to go to the boat show this winter.

[WoodySkier]

Really interesting that they decided to go this route instead of making an open bow version of the new SN.

 

Looking at the video and pics it looks like the walkthrough is gone so the seat pad in the middle of the bow sits right on fiberglass which would add storage to the bow and under the dash is all glass instead of the carpeted wood or glass it was previously. Obviously the saddle bags are gone, and the back seat is different. I’m curious what rope length you can get into without touching the tower. My dealer told me that they sat in a 200 with a tower and watched Nate Smith get into 38 without the tower being touched by the rope, this tower looks to be about in the same spot, but still behind the pylon.

[skierjp]

@LoopSki after owning 35 boats the new 2019 with sea dek is awesome. It is so easy to take care of. This boat can go from totally drenched to dry in a couple hours here in Florida. Any boat with carpet would take a couple days with fans on it in my garage. Also no Odor from wet carpet, my boat still smells new.

[blakeyates]

It’s ALL good. I like the new 2019 Nautique 200 and the marketing behind it. I love the innovation of the 2019 Nautique and the push by Nautique to make the most advanced ski boat on the market. I’m probably prejudice, but they make the #1 three event boat, the #2 three event boat, and now....... the #3 three event boat available. This is based IMO on performance behind the wheel, wakes, tracking, skier satisfaction, reliability, and overall comfort. Nuff said.

[Jordan]

Well, I guess pictures are okay now, Whitney has pictures of it up on facebook and nautique has it up on instagram.

Man, does nautique have a thing for Seadeck or what?

[APB]

I think it looks OK. It definitely falls in line with the sports series. Which is where I guess It belongs now. The 2019 SN is the serious tournament guy boat. Could be about $20,000 less though.

Are you on the promo program?

[Ilivetoski]

The website says totally new hull... The pro skiers who are posting about it says “exact same as the 200 just a new interior”... someone is confused. Also, is the motor box made of fiberglass where it isn’t sea deck?

[Chad_Scott]

@scoke yes he is

[UWSkier]

Very much like the looks of this boat. Fit some Malibu folding ski racks to the side and you've got yourself a great ski boat that looks better than any of the current crop of promos. Like it better than the original one actually.
