I have seen a number of videos about these supposedly old boats. As a 53 year old rider I have a blast behind my 97 Malibu, and we have fun slalom skiing too.. A $100-200K boat is nice, but a solid, older boat is perfectly fine too.
I used to work at California Correct Craft, I met you years back at Blue Water Casino in parker Az. at one of our owner's reunion. You were always such the consummate pro; friendly, approachable and always ready to teach. Thanks for the decades of great riding and fun times! Rode with Greg Nelson, Luke Wolf and Colin Wright and a few other Nautique team riders back in the day. I still own/ride behind a 1999 Pro Air Nautique. Nothing handles better than a direct drive!
Sweet! My first one was also a 91 from CCC, a red/black/white closed bow. :) Then I ordered from CCC 2004 Team 210 silver/black/white. Now the 1999 Pro Air Dark gray/forest green/white was also originally sold by CCC. Good times!
I have a 1992 supra marauder. My father was the first owner and now I am having fun with it each summer. Its in great condition (1200 hours). So its all good! That riding was amazing🥸
Oh Doctor ! You guys are taking me back to my VCR days when i watched all of you guys grow up on wakeboard videos . Darin Shapiro was the guy that got me into wakeboarding BUT there was no one as smooth and effortless than Shaun Murray back in the day ! Hyperlight Shawn Murray board with the sun on it was my favorite board and I wore that thing out . Good to see you guys are giving back to the sport , we need more ambassadors of the sport.
i have a 1997 sport nautique which is the boat that you rode behind last year which was a fun video to watch. My uncle has a 95 ski nautique so thank you for the awesome video
Thanks for putting together Shaun! I really enjoy seeing collaborations of old school tech with new school skill. We still sport a fly-high on one of the comp boats we ride since 98'. For a continuation of this - it would be exciting and fun to see a 'comparative' ==> performing an old school trick run (96'-98' **going big-landing out in flats**) on 'same era boat' - while using both old board/binding setup (95'-98') vs latest new board/binding setup (2022). But don't stop there... grab a handful of riders from both generations (95'-98') and (current)....It would be great to see how similar/different both the board-setups react to the smaller wakes, and how different/difficult the riding is between the generations. If there was anyone who knew how to properly put this together...Shaun would be the man to do it ... and do it the right way.
@@Shaun.Murray Understandable. Maybe only go back to 1999 for bindings - the year of HL highbacks and LF Ultras- those were some game changers and pretty secure. Though if the wildcard-Shapiro-shows, may have to bust out some Sandles 🙂.
What a great video! When I was thirty three I bought a 1995 Sport Nautique very similar in color to this but had teal where the black is. I took it to a guy who made custom towers for fishing boats with a pic of the 2000 SAN tower. He did a great job with an attached bimini. Met my ex-wife on that boat and had plenty of great memories. That was 20 years ago. I always wanted to be a great rider but only riding twice a week doesn't cut it. Now I have a 2008 SAN which we mostly surf but if the water is smooth I will still strap my board on.
Cory is still one of my favorite pros just for how humble he is , meet him in. Indianapolis. He introduced himself to me. Instead of just assuming I knew who he was…. That really stuck with me
Learned kneeboard on a mid 90s Cheeta(h?) I/O in the 90s as a little kid and wakeboard behind a 2008 SeaDoo Wake Pro 215 :-D Now mostly ride WakeParks in Germany. Sadly missed all the watersport fun in all my teen years and really started in my late 20s. Enjoy it now really much but wakeboats in Germany are expensive to buy and run (fuel prices suck). Such 90s SkiNautiques are often in great shape and reasonably priced because everyone wants the boats with the good wakeboard wakes. Love your vids, thank you for taking your time editing and sharing your experiences :-)
I first wakeboarded in 1995. First wakeboard had seatbelt straps on the bindings with two inch epoxy fins. Still ride behind a 1989 Ski Nautique. Things have changed a lot since then.
If the owner of the boat is on here would love to know what the dimensions of your bimini. Awesome video Shaun and Cory. I ride behind a 88 Malibu Skier with a skylon.
Love the video Shaun! Me and the fam had an awesome time hanging out and meeting you at the Regatta. We are definitely looking forward to the next! I passed y'all when you were heading out, that had to be a wild ride getting to the other side of the bridge. It was rough in the G so I can only imagine in the '95 haha.
This video is sick! I'm starting to jump the wake those recent days with kinda exactly the same boat 😁 Thank you so much for the share of your detention serie and all the great things we can see on this channel! Greetings from a small crew here in France! ✌️
Cool to see you at my home town lake. I grew up riding the board you have hanging in your room at the beginning of the video. Think I still have it somewhere.
I remember companies like Air Boom & Joy Stick. I know there's more in addition to Skylon & Ten Foot Pole too. Great video, Shaun! And great riding, Cory!
Back in the day I had a Stratosphere extended pylon. It was actually dual purpose,\; you could mount is out to the side and use it as a barefoot boom or slip it over the pylon and use it as an extended pylon. I used it on an 87 Mastercraft Prostar 190 - great for slaloming or barefooting not so much for wakeboarding but we made it work :).
Cannot believe you were in Dallas and I missed it/you! Would have loved to come out...Perhaps I missed you mentioning it in a previous video? Give use a heads up a month ahead when you are going places (if you can)!
I can't believe we missed this Regatta! We have a 1999 Pro Air Nautique with the original perfect pass (gen 1, buttons only, no screen) and first Nautique tower (FCT1). Amazing wakeboard wake for us old folks. Come join us for a ride in OKC, Shaun!
I’m commenting first. Good to see guys behind the boats mortals can afford, I was hunting for an 89 Nautique 2001. I figured it had a great wakeboard wake because I was scared of it as a JR 3 event skier but knew it had a great trick wake. I did find a sweet sub 15k boat it does well with 65 line length, I shorten to 60 to work on toe side jumps.
I started out behind a Sea Doo PWC... You had to cut really hard and work the wake to get air. The first time I got behind a proper wake boat with ballast and everything I totally overdid it, face-planted way out in the flat, and knocked myself out cold. My sternum hurts to this day.
First towboat I rode behind a lot was a 1996 sport with skylon, board racks, Bimini, and we later put 4 fat sacks in it. Spend literally hundreds of hours behind the wheel and the boat. This boat had same vibes. Yew!
Oh man the days of constant throttle control, boat being pulled side to side, and if you could do any inverts, you were a magician on the water. Also, 4-5 people in those tiny boats with 4-5 wakeboards stacked up in the floor.
Was the speedo in kilometers, how fast was did he end up? I remember that boat as being the boat we wanted for M3 jumping. Cory seems like a very cool, laid back dude.
Had to slum it riding behind an old Nautique? Back in my day when we used to ski uphill both ways in the cold we would hurt someone to be able to ski behind a Nautique...LOL
Not that I wouldn't love a brand new boat with all the new tech gadgets and gizmos... the boats that were around when I started back in 2004.... are plenty sufficient for my skill level and much more affordable!
Shaun, not even close to first. BUT I learned on an 86 Supra Comp closed bow. I didn't have skylon or anything. But I did have a Home Depot...... Nice 10' fence post plus ratchet strap to the bow lift eye! HAHHA Machined a plug out of alum for the top to attach the rope to. Good times. ~Ryan
@@vegastyle84 Added water! hahaha. I had 2 150-175lb bags I put on either side of the engine. And 2 75lbs "cubes" I would put behind the engine. Wasn't terrible. It wasn't my WakeSetter, but it was still fun!
@@Shaun.Murray I once had a pair of white Revo's with pink/orange lens. Frame was called cat eye in the 80's. I was super fly!!! Carrera's were always my fav though. In the 70's I was a kid but the cool grown ups had them in Red white and blue, they were pushed as skiing glasses. Went perfect with a CB parkah! The Revo's went with my one piece hot pink ski suit LOL Snow bunny time LOL Do they still use that reference? You were allowed to whistle back then!!!! whew hew
@Shaun.Murray used to have the old stars and stripe Mastercraft.. sold to a buddy back in 2000. But that boat still is in great condition for being 40 years old.
So no more excuses for me after watching that, incredible! I converted my 1986 Sterndrive for riding and have about the same wake (or maybe a little better). Humbling for sure. Oh, and I got the postcard, you the man Shaun, thanks!

Nice riding! Why are they holding these events on Lake Ray Hubbard of all the Tx lakes? Might as well been out in the Gulf of Mexico! LoL
Haha! Lots of things to consider w the regattas. Big enough to hold all the boats, and place to stay are the biggest hurdles.
So MANY thanks for that raw edit.! That makes me feel so much better about my own riding
I have a 1992 supra marauder. My father was the first owner and now I am having fun with it each summer. Its in great condition (1200 hours). So its all good! That riding was amazing🥸

Smiley! Set the VCR to about 1am for Hot Summer Nights! I can hear the song now!
Fox’s Air Raid (1996) with Shaun busting a massive Raley and Byerly’s VW rail slides and dock slides was the one that did it for me.
That's awesome! I'm rocking around in a 95 ski nautique down under, you don't need a big $$$ boat to go out and have fun with your mates.
Agreed Sean! Good on ya mate!
enjoyed this video so much... those boats made my youth years so fun !!!
i have a 1997 sport nautique which is the boat that you rode behind last year which was a fun video to watch. My uncle has a 95 ski nautique so thank you for the awesome video
Cory you absolutely shredded!! Shaun you are still the goat 🐐
Too kind Rumtum

Not some bad ideas w the throwback stuff but the part that scares me is using old bindings bc they can blow apart
@@Shaun.Murray Understandable. Maybe only go back to 1999 for bindings - the year of HL highbacks and LF Ultras- those were some game changers and pretty secure. Though if the wildcard-Shapiro-shows, may have to bust out some Sandles 🙂.
That was awesome! Enjoyed the clip a lot! Thanks Shaun
Fly High stainless pylon + 1982 Ski Nautique 2001 = fire emoji
🔥
Complete madness and sick!!!!! Love it!!!!!
That was amazing!!! Thanks for the video Shaun!

He is so good at wakeboarding.
Love this keep them coming
I ride on a 1995 Sport Nautique, love that boat
Getting back to the roots...awesome! 👍

Wake parks all over Germany! Great places to rip for sure
I first wakeboarded in 1995. First wakeboard had seatbelt straps on the bindings with two inch epoxy fins. Still ride behind a 1989 Ski Nautique. Things have changed a lot since then.
But that 89 still has lots of fun left in it!

Merci Inartus!
39th!! Wooohooo!! What did I win? A Paragon?! Oh, you shouldn’t have. You’re so generous. I’ll keep an eye out for that.
Just need the mailing address 😉
Cool to see you at my home town lake. I grew up riding the board you have hanging in your room at the beginning of the video. Think I still have it somewhere.
Which one?
You guys ate Awesome.
I remember companies like Air Boom & Joy Stick. I know there's more in addition to Skylon & Ten Foot Pole too. Great video, Shaun! And great riding, Cory!
I knew you'd pull through Shima! Good ones!
How am I not first? The system must have glitched. Ha Ha
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Just wakeboarded yesterday on an Insanity Pylon behind a 96’ Ultimate Warlock ski boat! Pretty cool!
Yesssss!
So good !!!
LOVE THE DUCT TAPE ON THE SEATS!!!
Custom
Awesome as Cory doing Australia 🇦🇺 proud mate! So wish I was in the states :)
Lots of your mates doin Aus proud these days! Rippers!
Looks like a lot of fun!

I try to give folks a heads up in my insta so make sure to follow me there to be on the up and up @shaunmurray
I can't believe we missed this Regatta! We have a 1999 Pro Air Nautique with the original perfect pass (gen 1, buttons only, no screen) and first Nautique tower (FCT1). Amazing wakeboard wake for us old folks. Come join us for a ride in OKC, Shaun!
Maybe next lap!
Same boat here, same set up. The EFI Pro Boss GT-40 has been perfect for all these years. :)

I have an 89 Ski Nautique 2001. It’s my favorite boat ever. Love the wakeboard wake on it and is a awesome slalom wake too. 🤙
10 foot pole on a 89 ski centurion never had more fun in my life!
Yess!
1996 ski nautique boat I grew up on and still using to this day
i got a 1990 ski nautique absolute beast of a boat
Sick ride!
😂😂😂 good show !

sweet, I still ride my 89 ski brendella pro comp and use a skyline every time we go. Thanks for the Props.
Yesssss!
Good content Shaun! Thanks for sharing!
Im 10 months late, but thanks for all the content. Really appreciate it and the explanations and guides are great too.
Love the videos Shaun! Keep rocking it and being an awesome family man.
Thanks Chris 👊🏼

Pack em and stack em!
I’ve still got my 1995 Sport Nautique.
Keep it!
the joy stick!!!
Yessss!!!
Oh, memories... One thing that I don't miss about those days is hitting my forehead on the bimini!
Was the speedo in kilometers, how fast was did he end up? I remember that boat as being the boat we wanted for M3 jumping. Cory seems like a very cool, laid back dude.
I think around 21 mph. Cory's a great dude
Would love to see someone boarding behind a Pavati. I am still saving to get mine!
Have only seen one out in the wild
Hey Shaun, just wondering what speed he was going approximately as I have a similar boat and wouldn't mind trying to emulate some of this haha. Cheers
Honestly don't recall exactly but I think around 21. Send it!
@corey you forgot the snakebite 😉
But for real this was the sickest thing!!
Thanks Johno!
My first boat in 1998 I added an 8' steel pipe with a tow ball welded to the top. We did what we had to do.
That'll do!
Fly High pole!
Had to slum it riding behind an old Nautique? Back in my day when we used to ski uphill both ways in the cold we would hurt someone to be able to ski behind a Nautique...LOL
Fly High! I had a 1994 Nautique with it…
Big Air Pylons. Just sold a Skylon Bat Rack and a Big Air Boom pylon.
Dang ittttt just missed it
Better luck next time man! ~ ✌🏽
Thanks for making this! Watched the whole video - board control matters
Thanks for watching to the end Brian! 🙌
Not that I wouldn't love a brand new boat with all the new tech gadgets and gizmos... the boats that were around when I started back in 2004.... are plenty sufficient for my skill level and much more affordable!
They def can do the job of puttin smiles on people's faces
Missed first comment to watch it all first💯
Fly High
Absolutely was a good'n. And pretty sure I had one
Ten foot pole and i still have the shorter Byerly series pole. Still use it and works great.
Now that's sick! 👊🏼 Still runnin it!
Pay 1K for a stargazer aka perfect pass, and some ballast bag with a 12V pump and you got a solid setup for fraction of the price of the new boat
Shaun, not even close to first.
BUT I learned on an 86 Supra Comp closed bow.
I didn't have skylon or anything.
But I did have a Home Depot......
Nice 10' fence post plus ratchet strap to the bow lift eye! HAHHA
Machined a plug out of alum for the top to attach the rope to.
Good times.
~Ryan
I had an 89 Supra Comp TS6M and the wake was terrible for wakeboarding. There was no pop at all. What was your experience?
@@vegastyle84 Added water! hahaha. I had 2 150-175lb bags I put on either side of the engine. And 2 75lbs "cubes" I would put behind the engine.
Wasn't terrible. It wasn't my WakeSetter, but it was still fun!
Rad!
Fly high pylon
Yes!
How about with a old wake tech board with Sand wraps??
#NoRocker but still awesome
So many paragons
I watched Cory at the pro wake tour a week ago
I run a fly high pole on our 91 MC barefoot 200. Monster tower rack and phat sac... old skool. Can bring it to murray x murray if you want to ride
nice videos Shaun can you make some more how to do a flip videos
Turns out you don’t need a 250k boat to have a blast on the lake
We use to have one on our first malibu.
Airboom for the win
By Ron Stack. He's the one who made the Airboom
I’ll stop blaming my ski boat for me not being able to get much air time
Check my latest live video where I answered your question and gave you a shoutout!
Do you remember my dad billy he pulled you in a 1996 sport nautique
Gonna need a little more info Will. When and where?
I remember your sunglasses look like 80's Carrera Sunnies
Nice ref Chrissy! Bummer part is that I lost em at Lake Powell last week. 😔

@@chrissy1310 Mind blowing one after another references! Love this Chrissy!
I got the original prototype board racks on my 91' ski supreme
65’ 🤙🏼
Air Boom!
Wasn’t there a pylon named “fly high” or something like that…?
I'll take those shades
We have a 2000 Malibu.. high fly bar.. a wedge... paid 32k back in 2000..
Enjoy it! 👊🏼
@Shaun.Murray used to have the old stars and stripe Mastercraft.. sold to a buddy back in 2000. But that boat still is in great condition for being 40 years old.
Hi Shaun!
So no more excuses for me after watching that, incredible! I converted my 1986 Sterndrive for riding and have about the same wake (or maybe a little better). Humbling for sure. Oh, and I got the postcard, you the man Shaun, thanks!
@@jsatherusa and now looks like you'll be gettin some GOLD SUNNIES JERR! Comin atcha soon!
What could he do without the pole or a tower???
Have had some real fun butter sets and challenges to do flips on a pontoon after being spoiled with new G's and Malibu's
Yo yo yo
is that in aus
Texas
the original high pole
Was he riding at 33 mph? I thought that’s what I saw on the speedo…
it was called "homemade" pole haha no idea what height it was :)
It was high and that's all that mattered
