Awesome boat and technology. I'd love some of its features, but my 1991 model has this simple, classic, nostalgic feel that I wouldn't trade for anything. Does what I need it to!
Nautique, love you guys but NO ONE can afford this boat ($120K+). Please take a look at the 2020 Chevy Corvette business model. They applied innovation genius to not only performance and look but also to manufacturing and pricing. They created a SUPERCAR that A LOT of people can afford or hope to afford soon ($60K). More people will become a part of "that sport" due to their industry leading efforts. Nautique needs to LEAD the way towards sport development rather than construct barriers to entry.
I totally agree. My cousin rides pro for hyperlite but he rides cable because these boats were too expensive and even though they have a 28ft searay it does not do the same trick as one of these boats. Its cheaper for someone to winch or go to a park then it is to buy a boat that cost more then some peoples house. Me i have a 20ft bowrider but its a 2001 and i paid 13k for. These boats that year still go for 30k and there used up lol. Its stupid how they justify the price on these things. You could buy a nice go fast boat for one of these haha
If nobody could afford it, there wouldn't be multi-million dollar yachts... That being said, even if I *could* afford it, my 91 model does everything I need it to. It definitely is way out of range for most, I'll agree.
@@-AthleteInAction- They always do during this time of the year. Wait until the winter months. Also people are bored due to Covid, so that kind of created a pseudo bull market for fun toys.
I wish they build different versions of these boats, like cars. This would be the extreme luxury edition. But it would be nice to take advantage of the awesome wake displacement, new bow technology, the engine and a few other key features for an affordable price like a mid-ranged car.
High Technology that costs a lot ....no doubt ! This is overkill in every sense of the word. My first Nautique cost under $5K in 1974; while that same year my first home (a 3/2/2 ) cost 20K. Back then I could barely afford both...on a $500/ month firefighter salary. 45 years later and after a career change at age 33, I’m now a retired doctor with plenty of disposable income, but I’m not sure I would ever buy something this expensive unless it made money while I used it! However, my neighborhood marina is full of boats just like this one and even more expensive ones as well...all purchased by families living in a waterfront gated community full of million dollar homes. So I guess the Field of Dreams saying is true - If you build it they will come....However, I’m still quite happy with my 1991 Maristar. PS Try standing on that red deck or resting your arm on that black armrest in the middle of the summer...and get back to me! My choice for color is white or very close to it!
Have always owned and loved Ski Nautique’s. From the 196 to 200, classic looks and amazing performance. Sure it is still a great performer. Not opposed to change, but I can’t make myself like this boat. It is ugly!

the boat is amazing... on the water, I love it at tournaments but idk if I would have this instead of a house.
really good looking and no spray but no talks about the engine ? to me it's the main thing when talking about power boats and i agree sooo expensive
did you watch the video without the audio... They talk about the engine
I love it. Who makes the 6.0 engine block? GM?
This looks epic! I want one

Unfortunately, people can afford it. The boat market is hotter than ever, and old boats are selling for more than they were bought for originally.

I thought that the last line of ski boats came out 2002. I’m glad I was wrong. Skiing never die.

Eric Washburn it’s not ugly, It’s F-ugly
Not sure I like it..... 😬
How the fuck can that be worth 120k if you break it down 10k for the engine 10k for the hull 5k electronics 5k for trailer 90k to put it together.
Add more sea deck. See how ugly you can make this disaster.
Big Riggin Ricky LMAO!!!
