If I'm not mistaken, Nautica's were made in Florida, primarily aimed for the leisure boat crowd. I believe they were all hypalon boats. Don't really know anything else about them. I don't know anyone who owns one, and have only seen one example, a long time ago.
The quality seemed to vary from boat to boat. A lot of them were real nice. I had a 25' Nautica with a V8 inboard and a Hamilton jet. That boat was a tank but I have seen a number of others that had serious variances in how the hull was built.
At 12 years old the boat will probably need tubes before too long. There are aftermarket tube builders who make new tubes for the Nauticas and do a real nice job.
