Ok guys 1. The trucks gear indicator was stuck as seen while I’m driving 65. 2. This boat is a super boat it’s in the name SUPER Air Nautique 3. Thank you watching I love reading all your comments :)

arnt these typically called Nautique's though, the model boat is the Super Air

[@rickjones2534]

[@MovieMuscle]

@Scott S With a truck that is not running right. Only the winch strap on the bow eye of the boat. No safety chain in the bow eye encase of winch failure or strap breakage which happens more often than people think. To top it off there were no transom straps either.

[@TheATVboy17]

The axles on the trailer aren't bent in the way you think they are, they are suppose to have an upward bow to them so when you but the load on them the straighten out a little.

[@chadgeetter308]

Amazing, I cant wait to see the progress. I am so MAD for you that they did not disclose that fiberglass damage by the tower, they are good at hiding shit apparently but sounds like you know what you are doing. Best of luck, she will clean up good!

[@TexansForChrist]

Glad you're excited, at least. Good luck.

[@CrankAddict]

At the 2:00 mark I realized you were here in Austin. That boat was likely ROLLED when lake Austin flooded last october. Boats would rise with the water levels until they hit the roof of the boat dock, then they would fill with water, sink, and the current would roll them downstream until they piled up at the dam. That's why the tower and windshield are all crushed. Good luck with that build. I looked at these myself for about 4 months, but couldn't pull the trigger on any of these.

[@cooperinderman6246]

mcgyverdude mainly lake lbj.

[@CrankAddict]

I live on Lake travis, and I am not aware of any boat being sunk due to the flood. Lake travis 's water level varies greatly, so all docks are floating-not piered like they are on Lake Austin or Lake Marble Falls. I believe the water level on Lake LBJ is also allowed to fluctuate, so I would be surprised if anyone had a piered boat dock.

[@cooperinderman6246]

mcgyverdude and I lost 2 boats and 2 jet skis on lbj. See my profile pic wirtz dam. I’m a full time resident

[@cooperinderman6246]

mcgyverdude lbj is constant level all docks are stationary, my 30 ft Chapparal is in the bottom somewhere.

[@Eric-zs6rd]

When the crane was lifting the bow of the boat water was pouring out of the bottom of the hull midship, around the keel. Drain plugs aren't installed along the keel. Check for a crack or hole that goes through the hull.

[@ksccts]

Hmm...that isn't true. Direct drive and V-drive boats have drains in that location.

[@spencerady5007]

We found out the hard way what the extra plug was for in our boat. There is a second plug right by the keel...

Super Air Nautiques are great boats. We have a Cobalt 27 footer which is similar but I used to use these boats all the time at the camp I went to in Muskoka

I don’t know what he payed for it but even at 22k and him dropping another 20k in it he would still not even be at half of what a brand new one of them cost

[@keviningraham8611]

[@2fast2nick]

Dang, looks like someone took that Nautique under a low bridge

[@stevenp1892]

Boat trailer axles are supposed to be "bent" so that the boat can sit lower allowing it to launch in less water.

[@lb4133]

Steven P mostly preload and sway control

[@hardrockminer-50]

I learned something new today. Thanks!

[@herbhall3830]

Those axles are bent at the factory on purpose so that a very heavy boat will actually just flatten it out without bending it the other way! Kinda the same reason new heavy flat bed trailers are arched

[@boosted_burt2123]

Actually never seen a boat motor like that. Very cool

[@boominS10]

You should be able to move the tie down on the front of the trailer farther forward on the neck to give you the space needed to get the boat completely on the trailer.

A $120 engine hoist from harbor freight could have done same thing as that wrecker did. I just switched my boat from one trailer to another in my front yard using the engine hoist.

That boat goes used for 80k so figure 23k to buy and then dumping another 20 grand in repairs and man power and he's still has plenty a room to make a profit if selling. If he's keeping it than he saved himself 40k.

[@claybankhomestead375]

Nice video I'm a boat builder myself but you make it look easy

[@NASCARacer2]

Very good price for that Nautique 230? Very important that you get a proper Nautique trailer, they're wider than Malibu boats from my knowledge and they're designed to sit higher and over the trailer arches. That's part of the reason your guides scraped along the side. Best bet for parts is to contact the Nautique factory?

[@LJT7907]

The reason the trailer was not included with it is because those trailers are usually worth at least several thousand dollars for their custom fit. And they’re not going to just put that in with the boat that flooded. Best advice I could give you is to try and see if you can look up the previous owners of the boat and see if by chance they still have a boat trailer they’re trying to sell because they’re trying to make some money off of it.

[@jasonholmes6137]

[@Manuel_Z_Kayaks]

The boat is registered to Geico Marine Insurance Co. 8725 IH 35 N New Braunfels TX. 78130 They might have the code you need. Try also laying on your back and looking under the dash and see if it's written in there somewhere.

[@mindtouchone]

I used to do engine failure analysis for a large production engine re-builder and found that just one small rust pit on a valve spring can cause it to break at that point.

[@lax4321]

Tower damage is probably because the boat was in a lift. When the water level went up the boat gets jacked up into the lift or boat house crushing the tower/windshield.

[@camburton4109]

I think you are 100% correct . That explains the damage for sure !

[@coreydark8795]

Also if the engine is rooted put the new PCM 350hp in I think it's called the High Five or something. They're only $10,000-20,000 new depending on who you buy it from. PCMs are also chevy/GM based engines and Indimar are new Ford based. Mercruiser are also GM based engines.
