This 2004 Air Nautique SV-211 is a boat that we're selling on consignment for a friend. It is finished in the rare color of Wineberry and Silver Cloud, and has the upgraded PCM Excalibur 5.7L 330 HP engine (standard was the 5.0L 275 HP). This boat has a low 840 hours.


This is a local Lake Norman boat that has spent most of its life here. While it is a very nice vessel, it is not perfect. There are some gelcoat blisters below the water line, and the upholstery is starting to show its age in some places.


Mechanically, it is in very nice condition. The steering cable has just been replaced, and the engine has had a full service, so it is ready for the water immediately.


If you're familiar with Nautiques of this era, you may be aware of the common issue of the gauges tending to fail over time. This boat is starting to experience that issue, but some of the gauges still work. There is a repair kit for this issue.


Due to the imperfections that this boat has, the owner is willing to sell it at a great price. This would be a great starter boat, or one that could be restored to excellent condition if desired. If you're looking for an inexpensive boat that can be a good ski/wake/surf boat, this is your vessel!


There is no trailer included with this boat, however if you need a trailer, Silver Cove Marine has one that would hold this boat available at an additional cost.


This boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.


Price for this boat: $16,900.00

This 1998 Ski Nautique Open Bow (SNOB) came to us from Florida, where it spent numerous summers on Compass Lake. It appears that it hasn't been used much over the past few years. The gelcoat is oxidized, and will require a good wet sanding and polishing to bring it back to life, but it should polish out nicely.


Hours are unknown on this boat because the previous owner removed the hour gauge.


This boat is finished in Violet & Charcoal, with silver pinstripes. The dash is in good condition, the windshield is in good shape (could use new paint on the frame), and opens and closes well. The swim platform is unrestored, but would clean up very nicely.


The engine is the HO 351 with 285 HP. It has a new carburetor, according to the previous owner, and it seems to run well.


The trailer is the original 1998 trailer made for this specific boat. It is in fair condition, and has new tires.


We would restore this boat ourselves before selling, but our shop is so busy right now that we just don't have the time. We have decided to offer this one up as-is. Someone will get a very nice restoration project at a good price.


The boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.

The trailer title is still being processed, but we expect a clean and clear North Carolina title soon.


Restored, this boat and trailer would be worth at least $20,000.

We will sell the boat and trailer as-is for $7,000.

This beautiful 2006 Ski Nautique 206 is in excellent condition. It is finished in Midnight Blue and Titanium Grey, with Silver pin striping and a Silver Cloud hull. It has the upgraded PCM Excalibur 330 5.7L engine with 330 horsepower and ONLY 159 hours (base engine is 5.0L 275 HP).


This boat spent the majority of its life in the original owner’s garage, and it shows. The interior vinyl is 100% original, and in BEAUTIFUL shape. This is probably one of the very best original interiors that can be found of a boat this age. The vinyl is soft and flexible, and has many years of life left in it. The ONLY imperfection I have found is a small (probably less than 1”) section where the stitching is starting to open up on the observer’s seat. This would be a very easy repair.


This is a Signature Edition boat (not a Limited Edition or Team Edition). This means that the boat has a standard keyed ignition switch, rocker switches for the accessories, and analog gauges. While this was the lower-cost version of the boat when new, it has become quite desired now, since the Limited and Team boats had Faria gateway systems that ran their gauges, and most of those have failed by now, requiring a repair that reaches into the thousands of dollars, and basically converts those boats to the Signature Edition-style gauges, which this boat already has! This boat will never have gateway issues, keypad issues, or other problems associated with Limited Edition or Team Edition Nautiques of this era.


The trailer that comes with this boat is a 2007 Ram-Lin single-axle trailer that was specifically built for the Ski Nautique 206. Obviously, it fits the boat perfectly. It has brand new tires, the bearings have recently been serviced, and all of the lights work. It has a clean and clear North Carolina title. The trailer is in very solid condition, although there is a little bit of cosmetic rust on the fenders. I have pulled this boat on this trailer from Alabama to North Carolina with absolutely no issues. It tows very nicely.


Over the past few months, it has had a number of improvements completed to bring it to its current condition. Here are a few:


  • Gelcoat freshly wet sanded, polished & buffed

  • New Pinstripes

  • New Factory Exterior Graphics (all of them)

  • New Spark Plugs

  • Fresh Oil Change with PCM Brand Filter

  • Fuel Control Cell Freshly Serviced with PCM Brand Filter

  • Freshly Refinished Teak Swim Platform

  • New Gas Shocks on Trunk Doors, Engine Hatch, Observer's Seat & Glove Box

  • New Wood Throttle Knob

  • Brand New Cover


Everything works as-designed, and the engine runs very nicely.


While this is an extremely nice vessel, there are a few imperfect items. Here are a few:


  • Small (probably less than 1”) section where the stitching is starting to open up on the observer’s seat

  • The rub rail has a few marks in it from normal use.

  • There are a few trailering marks on the bottom of the hull, and a few insignificant gelcoat blemishes near the bow, as any 20-year-old boat would have.

  • The cover, while brand new and very nice, does not perfectly match the blue color of the boat.

  • While some recent work was being completed, a person doing the work stepped in some sealant and tracked a small amount onto the carpet behind the driver's seat.


This is probably one of the nicest Ski Nautique 206 boats available, with an upgraded engine and super-low hours. It will provide the new owner with years of enjoyment.


The boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.

The trailer has a clean and clear North Carolina title.
