After 9 years with the last boat, and at the encouragement of all my wakewhore freinds, its finally time to upgrade!!!
The boat is still in the shop getting the final prep, but should be in my hands for the weekend. Then off to Mead for the week!!!
The pictures really are bad with the lights in the shop! Do all the 2003 SAN's only say Nautique on the rear?

Troy, when you water test it make sure you thoroughly test perfect pass with the ballast full. There have been a ton of problems with PP on 2003 SANs due to the paddle wheel placement. I know of a couple of boats where PP is useless below 23 or 24mph. If you plan on wakesurfing you may want to try PP at 10mph too.

Congrats on the new boat it's a beauty. I know a few people that must be really happy right about now. Tim, Thane, Erica, etc.

Thanks all!!! Should have pics on the water and with the custom trailer next week!

Hey Debbie, you will have to take me out on YOUR boat some time!! I keep running into X-2's on the water and the ramp and no one ever answers to Debbie???? What color is your boat?

Bill,
This boat did not come from the factory with PP and the dealer is aware of the problem people have been having. They say its been resolved for new installs. Thanks to WW, this was one of my first concerns.

That is a beautiful boat!

One question though (just out of curiousity). Why is the fuel fill located so far forward? Is it like that on all the SANs? Maybe I just never noticed before.

Good question Dave, I think the fuel tank is in the middle of the floor about even with the fuel fills (both sides). But now that you mention it, am I going to spill fuel on my fenders every time I fill up now?? Lucky I have chrome fenders coming I guess.

Yes, I believe all 03's say NAUTIQUE on the back...

Hey Troy, who's making your trailer ?

(troyl) · (troyl) **Join Date: Feb 2002** 08-07-2003, 3:32 PM

The trailer is Trialrite tube model with chrome fenders.

Congrat Troy! Tim told me that you were gonna buy that one. I just ordered an 04 from Jeremy, hafta wait 5 more weeks...

I had planned on ordering an 04, but I really wanted a colored top deck, and just really liked this color combo. Just got word I can pick it up tomorrow....woohooo, no sleep tonight!

I really like your color scheme. It seems like you just don't see too many with that layout. I have had my 2003 SANTE for about 2 months now and have had no problems with PP when fully loaded. The Trail rite trailers with chrome fenders look awesome as well- congrats
