Nautique Pro Air Nautique 2000 vs Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Nautique Pro Air Nautique 2000 vs Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 2009 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 2009 tops out at 409 hp. Engine specs for the Nautique Pro Air Nautique 2000 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 2009 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Nautique Pro Air Nautique 2000 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Nautique Pro Air Nautique 2000 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
