People.
Who you talk to — and who still knows your boat in year four.
The Elevated Difference
Better boats.
Better people.
Better ownership.
Buying the boat is only the beginning. Choose exceptional products. Surround them with exceptional people. Create an ownership experience that lasts long after delivery.
Anyone can sell you a boat.
What happens after that is what separates a dealer.
- The first demo.
- The delivery.
- The first question.
- The first service appointment.
- The first time something doesn’t work perfectly.
- The first upgrade.
- The first owner event.
- The next boat.
That’s the relationship we care about. We are not trying to win one transaction. We’re trying to become your boat dealer.
We’d rather win the relationship
than win the transaction.
Everything flows into the customer experience.
Process.
How the relationship actually runs, from first demo to the next boat.
Product.
What we’re willing to put our name on after the sale.
Service.
What happens when the boat needs us, not just when it needs a closer.
Ownership.
The years after delivery. Events. Clinics. Reasons to use it.
Experience.
Not a department. The whole thing, measured in days on the water.
The customer experience.
The right people change the entire experience.
Knowledgeable sales. Watersports knowledge. Service advisors. Technicians who stay in training because the boats keep changing. Diagnostics. Parts. Delivery education. Gear experts. The philosophy is simple.
Educate. Don’t pressure.
We would rather help someone buy the right boat than pressure them into the wrong one.

The sale lives here. Everything else is the relationship.
We sell it. We make time to service it.
Buying here should mean something when the boat needs the shop. The argument is simple. The full shop lives on the Service page.
- Technicians who stay in training because the boats keep changing
- Diagnostics that find the actual problem
- Extensive parts inventory for the boats we actually service
- In-house fabrication and detailing
- Pickup and drop-off in our service area
- Mobile service when the job doesn’t need a bay
- Nautique and PCM warranty work we currently perform
- Communication that does not disappear into a black hole
The boat is just the beginning.
Most dealerships spend their energy getting you to buy the boat. We’d rather spend the next several years giving you reasons to use it.
Owner events, clinics, priority registration, owner-only sessions, VIP weekend access, tie-ups, and the people you already boat with — the Elevated owner calendar, not a brochure club.
The right decision isn’t always
the most profitable one today.
Sometimes taking care of a customer costs us a little money. Sometimes it requires extra time. Sometimes it means doing more than the easiest answer requires. That’s okay. We’re building relationships measured in years, not repair orders.
Do the right thing.
Take care of the customer.
Play the long game.
A better way to buy a boat.
On-water demos
Don’t buy a boat in a parking lot. Drive it. Surf it. Bring your family. The showroom isn’t where a boat should prove itself.
Delivery is training
Delivery isn’t a handoff. Cole and the crew teach you how to use the boat — locally, at your lake, and on the road. Not a two-day program we invented for this page. A real delivery.
In-house F&I
Financing and protection products live with this team. One conversation. Not a stranger at a folding table.
Indoor showroom
Shop in Arvada year-round. Then get on the water, which is the part that actually matters.
Pickup / delivery
We remove friction where we can — boat movement, service pickup, the logistics that keep a Colorado season usable.
Service after the sale
Buying here should mean something when you need the shop. The people who sold it already know the boat.
Pre-owned shouldn’t mean unknown.
If it doesn’t meet our standard, we don’t want our name on it.
Elevated inspected. Elevated backed. We are not listing a 100-point sheet or a powertrain-year we cannot defend on this page. The certified program is real. The standard is ours. Ask us what the inspection actually covered on the boat you want.
A dealership can only be
as good as the products
it’s willing to stand behind.
We don’t want every brand.
We want the right ones.
We represent manufacturers whose products, engineering, support, and ownership philosophy align with ours. And one brand sits at the center of Elevated Marine.
Nautique.
Why Nautique?
Not all wake boats are built the same.
There are less expensive wake boats.
There are boats with bigger screens.
There are boats with more speakers.
There are boats with aggressive marketing.
When we choose the product we intend to support for years after the sale, we care about what exists underneath all of that.
The hull. The structure. The engineering. The drivetrain. The systems. The craftsmanship. The heritage. The warranty. The people standing behind it.
That’s why Nautique is at the center of Elevated Marine.
1925 → today
A century isn’t a marketing campaign.
Nautique / Correct Craft traces its boatbuilding history to 1925. Marine brands and ownership groups come and go. Continuity matters when the product is expensive and the relationship is supposed to last.
1925
Boatbuilding begins
The lineage that becomes Nautique starts here — institutional knowledge measured in generations, not product cycles.
1997
Air Nautique
Nautique credits the Air Nautique as the first wakeboard-specific boat, with the Flight Control Tower and internal ballast.
2012
G23
The Super Air Nautique G23, developed with elite athletes. Nautique presents it as a new approach to wakeboat design and the foundation of the G-Series.
2013
NSS
Nautique Surf System with WAVEPLATE. Integrated surf control and rapid side switching — the boat changed with the sport.
The wave starts with the boat.
Surf systems matter.
They work best when the boat underneath them was built for the job.
Nautique does not begin with a generic hull and rely only on bolt-on surf devices. Hull geometry, weight distribution, ballast, running surface, NSS, and NCRS are designed to work together. The WAVEPLATE is not a sticker. It is part of a system.
Shape the wave.
On applicable current models, the Nautique Surf System with WAVEPLATE extends from the transom to redirect water. The driver can change surf side and wave character from the LINC interface without moving people around the boat just to switch sides. Settings and automation are not identical on every historical model — we spec and demo the boat in front of you.
WAVEPLATE · conceptual
6
This slider is conceptual. It is not a simulation of a specific hull. Drive one.
NCRS · conceptual
Five-second idea, not a CAD file. The plate moves. The boat’s attitude changes. What you feel behind it changes with it.
The running surface isn’t always the same.
Nautique Configurable Running Surface is an extension of the hull. Nautique describes it affecting running attitude, planing, wake and wave shape, and driver visibility — and performing differently depending on the activity. Hard to see in a parking lot. Easier once you watch the boat sit down and go.
What you don’t see matters as much as what you do.
Nautique integrates ballast tanks into the stringer grid so the tanks sit under the floor, carry load, stiffen the hull, and leave storage where people actually put gear. You are not just looking at upholstery. You are looking at how the boat is held together.
Cutaway · conceptual
Built by people. Engineered to last.
Hand-built elements, fit, upholstery, hardware, tower, windshield, storage, helm, speaker integration, surf hardware, ergonomics. We would rather show stitching, hinges, and gelcoat than say “premium materials.”
Watersports aren’t a feature.
They’re the reason the boat exists.
Nautique’s product development has centered on waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing — not treating them as an accessory package on a generic recreational boat.
Performance has been measured one buoy at a time.
Ski Nautique competition heritage predates the wake-surf boom. HydroGate and MicroTuner exist because course work is unforgiving. Nautique states that the Ski Nautique’s record of personal bests and world records is unmatched. That is their claim. The point for us is simpler: this company was building performance boats before wakesurfing had a product category.
Nautique — Ski Nautique overview
1997
Before wake boats were everywhere, Nautique was building one.
Air Nautique
Nautique credits the Air Nautique as the first wakeboard-specific boat — Flight Control Tower and internal ballast, not a runabout with a tower bolted on later. Wakeboat engineering is not a recent product category for this manufacturer. That history is why the G-Series exists on a foundation instead of a trend.
Nautique — Our History
2012
The boat that changed the category.
Super Air Nautique G23
Developed with elite athletes. A new approach to wakeboat design. Nautique describes it as foundational to the G-Series. We will not claim competitors copied it. We will say this: the modern conversation about wake and surf boats still runs through that hull.
2012 G23 → Modern G23 → Paragon
2013
When wakesurfing changed, Nautique changed the boat with it.
Nautique Surf System
NSS introduced integrated WAVEPLATE surf control and rapid side switching. The point is not a feature sticker. It is a different way of making the wave than asking the crew to become movable ballast.
Ballast-only thinking
Change the wave by moving people and shifting weight. Slow. Socially awkward. Easy to get wrong on a family boat.
Integrated surf control
On applicable models, WAVEPLATE deploys from the transom. Switch sides and shape from the helm. Confirm the exact LINC behavior on the boat in front of you.
The engine matters. Especially up here.
Nautique partners with PCM. Direct injection, torque, integration, and a powertrain Elevated already warrants and services. Then Colorado: lakes sit thousands of feet above sea level. Naturally aspirated engines make less power as elevation rises. We will not invent a percentage. We will help you pick an engine for the lake you actually boat.
Lower elevation
Standard power conversations still apply. Spec the boat for how you ride, not a brochure.
Denver / Front Range
Elevation is already in the room. Engine and prop choice start to matter for how the boat actually feels loaded.
Mountain lakes
Engine choice matters even more. Tell us the lake. We’ll talk power, prop, and whether the boat will do what you want at that altitude.
The systems are useless if the driver can’t use them.
LINC is where NSS, NCRS, ballast, and the rest of the boat meet the person actually driving. Not a bigger screen for its own sake — the control surface for systems that change the water. Settings and automation are model-year specific. We spec it and then we put you on it.
Docking shouldn’t be the most stressful part of the day.
Nautique Steering Assist is available on applicable G-Series and Paragon models — a stern-mounted assist for slow-speed work. Marinas, wind, tight docks, trailering, newer operators, large boats. Not on every Nautique. We’ll show you on the ones that have it.
Steering Assist · applicable models
Your boat. Even when you’re not with it.
On supported connected boats, MyNautique can show location, fuel, battery voltage, and other owner information from your phone. Compatibility is model-year specific — Nautique notes 2020 and newer for the app. Confirm on the boat you are buying.
Luxury is easy.
Luxury without compromising the boat underneath it is harder.
Paragon is not expensive upholstery, screens, and speakers sitting on a generic hull. The luxury is layered on watersports engineering. The luxury doesn’t replace the performance. It sits on top of it.
Not added. Integrated.
Tower, windshield, helm, seating, storage, speakers, lighting, surf hardware, running surface — designed as parts of one boat, not a pile of accessories that happened to share a hull.

Manufacturer warranty
Standing behind a boat is part of building one.
New-boat coverage is Nautique’s contract for that model year. We are not printing the years or hours on this page. Pre-owned boats follow whatever coverage remains on that hull. Ask us to look it up.
The boat comes with a community.

Nautique vs. the competition
A sourced, model-year-specific comparison belongs here when every row has a source, a date, and a model — not dealer trash-talk. Architecture is ready. The public tool is not live until the facts are.
Nautique is the heart of Elevated.
But not every great day on the water looks the same.
Some families want performance pontoon space. Some want the refinement of a traditional premium pontoon. Some want an unmistakable luxury runabout. That’s why the collection includes three additional manufacturers we believe meet the Elevated standard.
Performance pontoon
The pontoon for people who don’t want a typical pontoon.
Pontoon space. Sport-boat attitude.
Revel is a newer name. The organization behind it is not. It is a Correct Craft brand — the same family as Nautique.
Elevated represents Revel because it solves a customer need traditional pontoon designs do not always address: space and social use without giving up handling that actually feels alive.
Steptoon hull. Revel Tracking System. Modern technology. Mercury power. Elevated is an authorized Revel dealer in Colorado — RS25 and RS25L, including on-water demos when they’re on the calendar.
Premium pontoon
Luxury that’s built to last.
Refinement, comfort, construction, craftsmanship, model breadth, premium interiors, and cruising.
We are not publishing a Bennington warranty claim on this page until current model-year terms are verified for the boat in front of you.
Iconic luxury day boat
Some boats follow trends. Chris-Craft looks like Chris-Craft.
Design, craftsmanship, heritage, materials, presence. On applicable models, deep-V running. Premium hardware. Fit and finish you notice when you look back at the dock.
Some customers want the best surf boat. Some want the best pontoon for entertaining. And some want to look back at the dock after parking the boat. That’s where Chris-Craft lives.
We are not publishing a global Chris-Craft warranty claim on this page until current model-year terms are verified for the boat in front of you.
Different boats. Same question.
Would we be proud to sell this to someone we expect to see for the next ten years?
If yes, it can belong at Elevated. If no, we don’t need the line.

A great warranty still needs a great dealer.
When something happens, you don’t want a PDF. You want someone to answer the phone, diagnose it, submit the claim, order the part, schedule the repair, communicate, and get the boat back on the water.
The manufacturer stands behind the boat.
We stand beside the owner.
Manufacturer → Elevated → You
A great boat deserves a dealer built around it.
Nautique spends enormous effort engineering the boat. Our responsibility begins where the factory’s job ends.
Help you choose it. Spec it. Power it for Colorado. Teach you how to use it. Service it. Keep parts available. Create places to ride it. Help your family get better behind it. And eventually help you into the next one.
This is where Nautique’s product philosophy meets the Elevated Difference.

This is what you’re really buying. Not merely the physical boat.
Boats don’t live on spec sheets.
They live on your lake.
Altitude. Mountain water. Front Range reservoirs. Trailering. Weather. A short season. Winterization. Engine and prop. Storage. Service timing. Lake access. For Nautique especially: we help you choose engine, prop, model, ballast expectations, and riding setup based on where you actually boat.

Any dealer looks good when everything goes right.
The difference shows up when something doesn’t.
We answer. We communicate. We diagnose. We involve the manufacturer when necessary. We find parts. We make a plan. And when taking care of the customer requires doing a little more than the easy answer — we do our best to do the right thing.

We’re not trying to be the place you buy a boat.
We’re trying to be your boat dealer.
The boat isn’t the experience.
It’s what the boat makes possible.
Saturday mornings. Teaching your kid to surf. That perfect ski set. A sunset cruise. Friends packed in. The first 360. The first time somebody lets go of the rope. The places you go. The people you’re with. Our job is to help make more of those days happen.
Better boats. Better people. Better ownership.
That’s the Elevated Difference.
