2001 super air nautique-wake review

Can someone tell me is the wake behind a 2001 super air nautique going to be the same as behind a 04/05 model? The hull shapes the same but probably doesn't have the HP the newer models have so can't weight it as much? Opinions please...

Yes the wake is the same. Some would argue the Gt40 is a better engine than the excalibur.

Big differences is the interior. 04/05 have thinner gunwalls so you can gave a wider interior. Floor is deeper in 04/05 also

Weighted the same... You will virtually have the same wake from 95-06 in the 210 hull. As long as the 01 has the GT-40 engine power will not be a concern over the Excalibur 330. The Excalibur makes just a bit less torque than the GT-40, plus the 01 and older hulls can run a larger diameter prop than 02-up which helps even more with added weight. You could always find the coveted Python engine option and never worry about power!

You will get a bit more interior space in the new hulls (03-up). Either way you can't really go wrong.

Are they a wider wake or more of a narrow wake?

SAN wakes are narrower than most other boats, and very steep. A lot of people love 'em, and a lot of people don't. You should be able to weight it plenty with either motor and the right prop. We're able to do so at 6000' and the boat runs even better at lower elevations. Do some searching on here and Planetnautique as I know there are threads where they discuss the exact differences in each model year. But, as far as hull and wake go, the wakes should all be basically the same in that year range.

narrow and peaky from what I've seen. *disclaimer.....never owned one***

Just for the record, they opened up the interior of the 210 in '02. Here is a nice rundown from Dragon88...


In 1995 Correct Craft released the Super Sport Nautique. It was a 21' V-drive family cruiser.

In 1999 Correct Craft released the "Super Air Nautique" using the same hull. It has rear flat ballast tanks (LCS) as well as a the first generation flight control tower. (FCT)

In 2000 Correct Craft released their new dash layout "Smart pod" with digital Teleflex gauges, that are extremely prone to burning out along with the second generation FCT. This was also the first year for colored decks. 2000 was also the 75th anniversary of the CC brand. Boats received a diamond sticker on the windshield that noted this. New reverse "N" gelcoat scheme, but the "classic" graphic/3 stripe was still an option.

2001- Correct Craft at some point does away with true wrap around seating for the "stadium seating." It is also the first year of the 3 piece rear hatch.

In 2002 The deck was redesigned to make more room, the sloped transom of the 01 and previous SS now had a more squared off look it. The boat received a new interior vinyl pattern, which disappeared in 2003. This is also the last year that the PCM GT-40 was offered. 2002 also marked the first of the "Team" edition boats, this package included Kicker audio speakers, wedge tanks, and an optional center ballast. 2002 Also brought a new gelcoat pattern. The buyer could now choose: deck, hull, primary, secondary, and third stripe colors.

In 2003, the SAN saw another dash and interior, these two elements would stay with the boat for the rest of it's run. The Super Air Nautique was also renamed the "210" a name which was reverted mid season back to "Super Air 210" due to consumer outcry. 2003 is widely regarded as a favorite year due to the fact that it contains the best of the new model (04-05) boats + a colored deck (2003 was the final year of production for this.) the actuated trunk covers. 2003 was also the final year of the Python 502 motor in the Super Air and the first year that the PCM Excalibur 330 became standard. This year the CD player was also re-located to the glovebox.

2004- brought us the 3rd generation of the FCT, this was the first year since 2000 that one could no longer order a colored deck. The 2004 boats also saw a new latching system on the back hatches to replace the actuated doors. These are referred to as the "knee busters." 2004 also did away with the 3rd stripe. The SAN from this point on only had Hull, Primary, and Secondary color options.

2005- Correct Craft reverts to the second generation FCT tower. The team edition boats are now outfitted with Polk Momo, and for the first time boats come from the factory with exposed speaker grills. In either 2004 or 2005 (or somewhere in-between those years.) CC added more reinforcement to the bow to make the boat less likely to porpoise.

2006- Correct Craft once again names the 210 the "210 Air" The '06 brought many changes, the most drastic being the new PCM- V-drive transfer case. This new V-drive replaced the Walters unit. The PCM V-drive was smaller, but also changed the prop rotation to a clockwise(right hand rotation.) Along with those changes the problematic "Helm control" system was replaced all together, they used Jabsco ballast puppies (auto reversible pumps.) so there is one pump per tank. The new ballast system drains the water under the hull and as a result the ballast overflow/and drain ports on the hull were eliminated. 2006 also brought a new fourth generation flight control tower. Which seemed to be a modified version of the new SAN220 tower. due to the differences in beam width, the new FCT4 for the SAN has additional bracing. They also elongated the windshield...

In 2007 CC killed off the SAN that we all loved and had loved for over a decade.

The hull & thus wake are all the same in that run, assuming you're weighing them the same. Can mellow the wake a bit with nose weight.

Pic of my '03....& seeing the prices of new boats, I feel fortunate to have picked it up 12ish years ago.....
