1996 Ski Nautique Body Glove Edition (68048) (Second Visit)
This rare 1996 Ski Nautique Body Glove Edition is making its second visit to Silver Cove Marine. Shortly after the restoration work we completed earlier this year, this vessel became overly friendly with a shoal and had its underwater gear damaged, and picked up a hole in the gelcoat and fiberglass. She'll need a new prop, shaft, strut, engine alignment, and fiberglass and gelcoat repair. We'll fix it right up!

1993 Ski Nautique Dash Refurbishment
The owner of a 1993 Ski Nautique sent in his dash for a full gauge replacement, along with replacement of the switch panels and switches. This dash is going to look great! Here's how it looked when it arrived: We've been working on it for a couple of days, and it is looking much better now. We still need to get the new hour meter and a blank for where the clock was mounted, fix the peeling vinyl, do some cleaning, and add the screws to the new 12-volt plug, but we're close!

2005 Ski Nautique 196 (50269)
UPDATE (July 13, 2026): We have accepted a deposit on this vessel, and it will no longer be for sale when the restoration is complete. It is quite common for our restoration boats to not even make it to the For Sale page of the site. They often sell before the restorations are even complete! We pulled this Ski Nautique 196 out of Florida, and will be restoring it to great condition. This one is a Signature Edition, so no gateway to worry about, and it has the Excalibur 330

2006 Ski Nautique 206 SE
This Ski Nautique 206 SE belongs to a friend of ours, and is in for a little cleanup work and to be prepped for sale. This boat would be perfect for two types of people. It is great as-is for someone who wants to just jump in and ski/ride without worrying about keeping a boat perfect. It would also be a great restoration candidate. This boat could be made beautiful without too much work. The upholstery on this one needs some love in order to be perfect, and the gelcoat has

1999 Sport Nautique with GT-40
Sort the comments below by OLDEST to see a chronological timeline of the work we have completed so far. A client from Pennsylvania brought this vessel to us in hopes that we could figure out a miss that was occurring in his engine. Another shop had done extensive work on the engine after an unfortunate electrical issue, but the engine still isn't running quite right. We'll do our best to track down the issue, and fix a few other little things along the way.

Sort the comments below by OLDEST to see a chronological timeline of the work we have completed so far. This 2009 SV-211 was in the Hyco Flood of 2025. It was not damaged nearly as badly as some other boats, however the tower needs to be replaced, some gelcoat and fiberglass work is needed, and a few other things need to be addressed.

1992 Ski Nautique
SORT THESE POSTS OLDEST FIRST IN ORDER TO SEE THE CHRONOLOGICAL PROGRESS ON THIS VESSEL. The owner of this 1992 Ski Nautique contacted us and asked us to get his boat running again. It has been sitting on his lift for the last three years without being used, and now it cranks but will not start. We picked it up and brought it into our facility, and we will get it ready to provide fun to his family once again!
