Correct Craft Super Air Nautique 230 Inbound

Following on a very warm reception of the Correct Craft Crossover 236, Correct Craft will soon be officially announcing a 236-based Air model - dubbed the "Super Air Nautique 230", or "Correct Craft 230".

At the Masters Tournament in May, one of the 236's that was pulling riders was wearing full Correct Craft wakeboard branding elements - which came as a surprise to some but not to me personally (some felt that the 210 should have been doing this job). The boat that many are now calling Correct Craft's flagship from a wake athlete's standpoint has always seemed to be a wakeboard boat, but it looks like 2008 will officially push a version of it to Correct Craft's "Air" lineup. The 236 Crossover has been available in an Air model since its release, but it still officially falls under their Crossover category. We're still not sure if the 230 is exactly a rebranded and rebadged 236, but we expect the two boats to be very similar, and we don't expect the 236 Crossover to disappear from Correct Craft's lineup.

Of course, pictures are coming soon. Correct Craft has been very careful about how they communicate this sort of thing - and the images associated with the announcements. When the Correct Craft 236 Crossover was released, the photos were not spy shots or candid boat show images - they were high quality shots taken in what appeared to have been an official photo shoot. We expect the same process to be followed for the 230.

Additionally, new graphics have been leaked and Correct Craft has appeared to have stepped back from the tribal, buzzsaw blade graphic (Yay! - Ed.).They'll be employing this as the new Super Air Nautique logo and this as the option for crossover models that are ordered in an Air packages.

Please stay tuned for more updates about this boat.
