This 1999 Ski Nautique with the super-rare PYTHON 8.2L 430 HP engine option is a welcome addition to our fleet. This boat has every single available option from the factory except the burlwood steering wheel and dash panels. It is the most fully-loaded Ski Nautique I have ever seen, and it is all original with the exception of the stereo equipment that the previous owner added.
This boat was owned by the same gentleman from the time it was new until very recently. A client of ours ended up buying it from him, and that client ended up selling it to us without ever titling or registering it, meaning that we are the second owners according to the records.
The exterior of this boat is in very nice condition. The only things that need to be addressed are the pinstripes (the top and bottom stripes are two different colors, which is not correct), and the swim platform has had varnish on it at some point, so we will need to give it a light sanding and oil it properly. The interior vinyl is a little dingy, so we will attempt to clean it, but we may end up replacing it. The carpet is also stained, so we will attempt to clean that too, but may end up replacing it as well. Other small things like the glove box hinges and engine box mounts also will be addressed. We may also throw a new steering cable in at some point.
Overall this is a beautiful boat that runs perfectly and is a blast to drive!
The final thing we're doing to this boat right now is a full carpet cleaning. The leaking heater core had allowed some rust to get onto the carpet, which I wasn't positive we'd be able to remove, but we did! The carpet looks great now.
The gelcoat chip mentioned earlier int he comments was repaired today. Looks good to me!!
This boat's platform got a light sanding this morning, along with fresh teak oil. It is looking good!
I am the original owner of a 1999 closed bow Python powered ski Natique with 110 hrs. This boat is awesome to drive and loud (which I like) It was a factory boat for ski shows used as a backup for the boat used during the shows. It has every option but perfect pass. Did you have your boat opened up, I get about 5,000 to 5200 RPM. Mine is red and white. Nice boats and rare....FYI Kevin in Michigan
I am very happy with how our guys were able to clean up the vinyl on this boat today. They even hit the chrome trailer wheels. We'll shampoo the carpet tomorrow and this one will really look great.
