After several months of looking for the RIGHT boat, my wife and I finally pulled the trigger on one the other day, and I'm very stoked about what we got - a 2002 SAN. It's in super clean condition and we can't wait to get it on the water. <BR> <BR>Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to stick to my guns and wait for a V-drive to come on the market...and a VERY big thanks to Bill &amp; Jim at Topside Marine in San Jose for all the additional guidance and boat knowledge. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/744093.jpg" alt="Upload">

Congrats and thanks for doing your part to stimulate the economy.

Beautiful boat, congrat's!

Congrats, post more pics!

SWEET RIDE!!

Beautiful boat, it looks very clean.

very nice! Congrats!

Dope! It's absolutely identical to my buddy's down the street. His has over 900 hours hope yours last just as long.

Yes post more pics!

Tony ~~ What a great choice to hold out for. I ride with my buddie and his 02 SANTE and dream of it every night! The wake has a great punch to send you straight up in the air! Post up more pics when you get a chance to ride behind your new baby. CONGRATS! <BR> <BR>PS <BR>My profile pic is from his 02 SANTE!

Tony, is that the one that has been on craigslist for quite a while. I think it was also on this site. The guys name was Bruce or something? <BR> <BR>Great boat.

Thanks guys...much appreciated. I'll try and take some more pics when we take it out this weekend. <BR> <BR>Brett, yes, I bought the boat from Bruce. He apparently was listing it a few months back, then pulled it because he wasn't sure he wanted to get rid of it, then re-listed it on Craigslist a couple weeks ago. He took really good care of it, always garaged it, and was pretty meticulous about the maintenance. Hopefully I can continue with the same protocol...

Congrats! Awesome choice on a great looking Nautique! Your going to love it.

Great looking boat! Those early 2000s SANs are some of my favorite boats ever.

congrats &amp; welcome to the nautique family!

Great looking boat!!!

Best boat and wake of all-time!

Great boat and great colors. Congrats. You must be stoked!

Damn good boat. I'm looking to upgrade to a SANTE for my next boat.

Sweet man, congrats. You'll love that boat.

Congrats !

nice! congrats!

Nice ride man!

Way to go man. There's nothing like being the captain of your own vessel!! Great looking boat.

Very Nice! Congrats on the new ride!

For a 2002 wakeboard boat, it doesn't get much better. The X-Stars were good back then, but they are now sort of dated. That Natique is pretty timeless.

Love that wake on that boat specific boat. I don't really like the wakes on the new nautiques, but 2002 to 04 or around there were killer...

keith im pretty sure all the hulls were all the same from 95-2006

Just took it out today and I was reminded how big the wake really is...I have to say we're VERY satisfied with our purchase! My friends took some pics...when I get them, I'll post them up.

Great to hear, congrats again!

Nice job Tony. I've got an '02 SAN myself, will keep an eye out for you on the delta. I've had mine since new...great boat.
