ORLANDO, FLA (October 20, 2010) — Today the all-new (v-drive) Sport Nautique 200 was officially approved by USA Water Ski to pull record capable tournaments. The record capable rating is the highest rating available for a ski boat.

Nautique has previously received this rating for the Ski Nautique 200 and the World Slalom Record and a pending World Trick Record were set behind that boat earlier this year. Now the Sport Nautique 200 (v-drive) also carries the record capable rating.

USA Water Ski evaluations are designed to measure and test each towboat in power and acceleration, drivability, handling and maneuverability; engineering, sound level testing and 3-event wakes. The Sport Nautique 200 passed all of these tests to be recognized as a record capable approved tournament towboat.

The new Sport Nautique 200 is very unique to our industry in that it has impressed skiers, wakeboarders, wakesurfers and wakeskaters alike. The Sport Nautique 200 has differentiated itself as the industry best all around watersports boat.

**SPORT NAUTIQUE 200 WINS EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN AWARD 2011

ORLANDO, FLA (December 7, 2010) —Nautique’s newest model, the Sport Nautique 200 is the proud recipient of Trailer Boats’ 2011 Excellence in Design Award for the fourth year in a row. This award recognizes Nautique as reinventing the multi-sport boat in the towboat category.

Excerpts from Trailer Boats’ editorial feature on the Sport Nautique 200 include:

“The Sport 200 will pull like a tournament ski boat yet also produce a nice, steep wake for wakeboarding or a long, open-face wave for wakesurfing.”

“…includes cool design features inside the cockpit…the starboard-side rear trunk storage can be accessed from the sun pad or through an innovative, fold-away rear seat…a perfect place for storing skis, wakeboards and other gear.”

“….the boat looks sporty and stylish on the water, and it’s no wonder Nautique has been recognized with

an Excellence in Design for the fourth consecutive year.”

Bill Yeargin, CEO Nautique.
