Baller skiep Posted April 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just kidding. Jody Seal was kind enough to bring the 2013 Nautique that will be pulling the Masters this year. Me driving, Kelley Breeden and my Grandson CJ Albritton ripping it up!! And yes, I did say Grandson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swc5150 Posted April 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2013 I see Jody has another awesome color combo. His Clementine signature edition is still one of my all time favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted April 16, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted April 16, 2013 This boat is as good as it gets... I am impressed at it's performance and how easy it got up to speed and settled in out in front of the 55's on Keith's lake. 6 liter (409 hp), 668 ACME. Keith, Thanks for letting us "test and tune" on Sat. It was a very good day! and Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted April 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2013 The Progressive Package is growing on me. Our '13 promo showed up last week. Blue/Metallic Black Progressive. Looks really good on the water. But I have to be honest, that new throttle sucks! There's going to be a few docks, other boats, or people get hit because of that design. And it's not just the 200s. The wakeboard boats got it too. I'd hate to be driving a G25 around all the time with that throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted April 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2013 @MattP It's a completely different unit. Shorter throw, which I like. But WAYYYYYYY tight. And where you think it's actually dropped past the detent and into neutral or reverse, it's not. I damn near ran it into our dock because I couldn't get it into reverse after pulling it off the trailer for the first time. I am FAR from an inexperienced driver(and a Regular AWSA rated slalom driver too) so this concerns me greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted April 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 17, 2013 We've had black boats before and heat has not been an issue. FWIW, that boat was pre-sold and the prospective buyer picked the color scheme. I didn't like it on paper, but it looks pretty damn sweet in person. The black metal flake is bada$$.

Nick Sullivan Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 FYI, Nautique has a fix coming for all boats with the new throttle. The Tab where the transmission cable attaches to the tranny is just a tad too short and binds the cable up. Do your own check and disconnect the throttle from the transmission. Cycle the throttle. It should be smooth. Also, if you feel there is too much resistance to the throtte with the cable disconnected from the tranny let me know and I can email you some steps on changing the Friction setting on the throttle.

Baller swc5150 Posted April 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2013 @Sully, for some reason I thought you bought an open bow? That CB looks wicked...dang I would love to buy that from you. I'm just too po' this year:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted April 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2013 @Sully we've already changed the friction setting on the throttle, so we'll wait for them to send out the fix for the trans end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2013 As an aside, it has looked to me in recent photos like CP has put on some size again. Seems like he was big when he was younger, then cut his weight down for a while. He looks pretty muscular again here. Maybe I don't need to lose weight after all ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Sullivan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 @Ed_Johnson There is a local guy here in Portland that builds and installs this bimini. Its not cheap but its the best I have ever seen. I'm not sure if he would build one and ship it to you or not. He spent about two days putting it on and getting the rain shield made. If your interested in contacting him let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the interior scheme... http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?topic=Search&category=Promo_Boat&postid=22924 Thanks, it looks really good on the water. I put it in last weekend, but just pulled it out this evening. It is supposed to get down into the upper 20's here tonight (St. Louis area), and now it is in the heated garage. It gets the bimini mounted in the morning (identical to the bimini on last year's boat) and all of the clear protective Vantage film all over the back of the boat. It will be back under it's touchless cover on Sunday after the cold snap is over. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
