Design Your Nautique
Your current boat got you here.
Let's talk about what comes next.
A private 60-minute Google Meet with Bill Boston. No configurator. No brochure. A real conversation about your family, your lake, and the Nautique that was built for both.

Does this sound familiar?
Where you are right now
You own a boat. It works fine. But it is not delivering the wake your kids want anymore.
You have ridden behind a Nautique at a friend's place or a rental and you know the difference.
Every spring you say this is the year. Then life happens and the old boat stays.
You have spent time on manufacturer websites and left more confused than when you arrived.
One of you is ready. The other has questions nobody has answered clearly yet.
The kids are at the exact age where these summers matter most and you know it.
Where the Design Session takes you
A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING
You know the one or two Nautique models that actually fit how your family boats, not just the most popular.
You understand what your current boat is likely worth and what the real out-of-pocket on an upgrade looks like.
Both of you walked through it together and you are aligned, not one person dragging the other.
You have an honest number on purchase, storage, maintenance, and insurance. No surprises after.
You know your next step, whether that is ordering this season or exactly what would make it a yes.
I have watched too many families delay the summer they deserved.
I have been on Sister Lakes long enough to know the families who put it off.
They come back two summers later and say the same thing every time:
I wish we had done this sooner.
They were not waiting because they could not afford it.
They were waiting because nobody helped them think it through.
They went to boat shows.
They read forums.
They used the manufacturer configurators and built beautiful boats on a screen and then sat on it for another twelve months because they still did not know which model, what the trade was worth, or how to get their spouse on the same page.
"What if buying a Nautique felt less like a dealership transaction and more like a planning conversation with someone who actually lives in The Sister Lakes?"
That is what I built the Design Session around.
Not a presentation. Not a pitch.
60 minutes where we figure out together what makes sense for your family, your lake, your budget, and how old your kids are right now. No pressure to decide that day. No scripts.
The families who have done it all say the same thing: why did we wait so long to have this conversation?
Book one. Worst case you spend an hour getting completely clear on where you stand. Best case you stop spending summers on the wrong boat.

What the Design Session actually covers
The three conversations nobody else is having with you
This is not a presentation. It is a focused conversation built around your lake, your lift, and your life on the water. Bill asks the questions most buyers never think to ask until after delivery.
Trade-in reality
What is your current boat actually worth?
Bill gives you an honest read on what your boat is likely worth today, trade versus private sale, and how that gap changes the real number on an upgrade. Most upgraders are closer than they thought. This is the conversation dealer websites do not have because it requires knowing your situation specifically.
Model match
Which Nautique is built for how your family actually boats?
Your kids' ages, your lake, your wake goals, how many people typically ride. These answers change the model. Bill narrows the lineup to one or two that genuinely fit. Not "here is our full range." One or two boats, and the reason why the others do not apply to you.
Full ownership picture
What does owning this actually cost over time?
Purchase, financing, storage, winterizing, insurance, routine service. Bill walks through all of it. No number is off the table. You leave with the complete financial picture, not a monthly payment stripped of context. This is where the decision actually becomes clear.
The things holding you back
What you are probably telling yourself
and what is actually true
-
You can most likely afford it. What you cannot afford is making the wrong call at this price point. That is not a price problem, it is a confidence problem. The Design Session exists to solve that. Bill will not pretend a Nautique is cheap. He will help you see what you are getting for the money and whether the math makes sense for your family specifically.
-
Bring them to the call. This works best with both of you on it because the decision sticks when you both walked through it together rather than one person being told about it afterward. Bill has this conversation regularly. It is one of the most common ones he has, and it tends to go differently than people expect.
-
Rates move. Your kids do not. The summers between twelve and eighteen are not recoverable. That is not pressure, it is arithmetic. And the Design Session is not asking you to decide today. It is a conversation. If the timing is not right, Bill will tell you exactly what would make it a yes and you leave with a roadmap, not a regret.
-
The people who research the most before this call are often the most confused when they arrive. The internet was not organized around your specific family, lake, and situation. Bill will cut through six months of forum threads in sixty minutes. The call is the research.
From families who have done it
What changes after one conversation
“I had been going to boat shows for three years. Walked out every time with brochures and no boat. One hour with Bill and I understood exactly what I needed and why the two models I had been obsessing over were both wrong for how we actually use the water. Ordered the right one that week.”
— T.M. · Sister Lakes homeowner“My wife joined the call skeptical. She thought it would be a pitch. By the end she was the one asking about delivery timelines. That is how different this felt from every other dealer conversation we had. We left aligned. That alone was worth the hour.”
— D. and K.H. · Southwest Michigan“The trade-in conversation alone was worth booking. I thought I was looking at a huge loss on my old boat. Bill walked me through what I could get private sale versus trade and the real gap on the upgrade was about eighteen thousand less than I had been assuming. We closed within a month.”
— R.P. · Michigan CityThe 2026 Nautique lineup

Your guide on the call
Meet Bill Boston
Bill did not end up in the boat business by accident. He built The Boarder Line because he believed there was a better way to buy a Nautique, one that started with the family's life on the water and not with the dealer's sales target.
He has spent years on Sister Lakes. He knows these boats the way you know your neighborhood, not from reading specs but from time on the water. He can tell you which hull handles rough chop differently and why, which tower actually holds up over five seasons, and what he would buy personally if he were in your position today.
The Design Session is built entirely around his knowledge and his directness. You will get an honest answer, not a managed one.
One last thing

on the wrong boat.
