Nautique 196 Waterski Wakeboard Boat 5.7L GT40

For sale 2001 Ski Nautique 196. Hull is Blue and cream and is in excellent condition. Upholstery is blue and white and is in perfect condition having been replaced three years ago. Powered by a Ford GT40, 310 HP, EFI, direct drive engine. It has been used exclusively on fresh water.

Comes on a bunk trailer and is equipped with a Skylon Wakeboard Pylon. This is not in the pictures, I have never used it but it is in excellent condition. The 196 is a tournament level waterski boat but will be perfectly adequate for beginner to intermediate wakeboarders. I bought this a project 5 years ago and have completed a lot of refurbishment and maintenance work. The original hour meter has been replaced and now shows around 140 hours but the boat will have done a little under 1500 hours to the best of my knowledge.

The rear bench seat and complete side panels are present. General appearance of the boat is excellent for its age. Boat pulls extremely well and propeller is in perfect condition. Trailer is in need of brake overhaul and bunk carpet replacement, some of the clocks are not perfect but the basics all work as they should. Please understand this is a 19 year old craft and is in great condition for it's age but it is not brand new.

Boat is located close to Belfast, Northern Ireland. I can assist with delivery to Belfast docks with easy access to either Liverpool or Cairnryan if needed. If you wish to arrange a marine survey this would probably simplify and potential distance purchase. Payment by bank transfer prior to collection or delivery. The boat is currently quite a distance away from fresh water in storage so a water test will only be undertaken for a serious buyer.
