Can anyone help pinpoint an estimation on the year of this boat?

I know that it is a 6.0NA and that is about it.



Thanks guys.

Look on the right rear transom, should be a number stamped in there, the last two numbers are the year.

Problem is that it is 500 miles away. I'm just curious if its like late 80s, early 90s, or what not. Figured someone may be able to tell from the sticker or the rigging?

The red stickers came from the 2002-2003 years, but a sticker is easy to add. I know of a 6.0 that got the red stickers 'cause they looked cool. Only way to know is to get the hull number.

I think the N/A version of the 6.0 came out in 93 or 94. Any earlier ones could be upgraded but not as easy as the 5.8 since you'd have to change spreaders and add intemediate diamond wires (big PIA). As relatively new as the 6.0 design is, I would base any purchase decision on condition of the boat rather than year.

Hey, Lee - I think he's got a newer 6.0NA there. Look at the shadow of the spreaders. Looks like the last iteration to me.

it definitely has the inner diamonds like my (97?) had. That's a pretty small picture but it appears to be rigged nicely and in reasonable shape.

Awesome, thanks guys.

BTW, while this thread is still rolling around can anyone point me towards a cat racing handicap chart? Someone sent me one before, but I lost it.

Nacra 6.0 is an awesome boat. It will go like stink on a stick.

Jakes right. It's a fast mofo. I think with a self tacker/sq top and Tornado chute, it'll give any of the newer boats heads up competition.

And just what is the speed of stink?

It is equal to the speed of smell.

I disagree, respectfully, Mr. Kohl. Nice smells seem to travel slower and linger. Stink hits hard and fast - just like the 6.0. You'd never go downhill on one of those things and say, "man, we're going like smell!"
