If you can drive Both boats, ( a 200 and a new MC ), same day, same skiers, same lake. Make your own decision. Obviously, most cc owners are going to tell you the cc 200 is the best, and the MC owners, are going to tell you the MC is the best. Make your own decision, be careful who you listen to. Other things to consider, dealer , price, resale, quality, record for dependability, Engine ( PCM vs others), etc.etc. etc. If you were to commit to purchasing a new boat, I have a 2013 Nautique 200, and there is a 2014 MC. on our lake. I would be glad to offer a challenge. you pull 4 skiers with the 200, pull same 4 skiers with the MC. Same day, same skiers, same lake. You make the call.
