feel fortunate our local dealer gives me a call and lets me know of a demo day for the new G23 - all I can say is AWESOME! - pics to follow, by far the largest wake I've ever experienced

Sorry guys - did most of the photography on the Go-pro - here's a couple of the boat and I'll work on some of the wake - perhaps a short vid

Holly crap look a the gunwhale on that boat! Must be 3-4 feet from the water weighted. No wonder it produces a huge wake. Wonder what the draft is?

I have a friend that rode behind one at Wake games. He rides junior pro tour and said he was a bit nervous the first time he hit the wake and it was not weighted other than about 8 silicone mounds on the boat seats Laughing

. He said that this boat really is a game changer. The stock wake is bigger than any loaded boat he has ridden and the shape is amazing.

Huge Nautique fan here but other than a few idiots with more money than sense and the pros who is going to buy the boat. I'm sure the wake is killer and being a Nautique it is top notch fit and finish but who is it being made for. Most people will never be able to afford it. I pretty much suck at wakeboarding and am pretty sure if I had the moola for that thing I wouldn't buy it (disclaimer if I win the Powerball no doubt I would just because I could wipe my arse with 120k). How much bigger do they go on boats before they get too big? Thing looks bad arse though.

slidin_out, ask your local dealer what your delivery date would be if you ordered on today, or a new xstar, or even a Mastercraft x300. You will quickly find out that at this level of boat the demand is more that the manufacturers can really keep up with.

I'm fine with them building bigger boats like this one, that are helping innovate the sport! As long as these big boats are being built for the purpose of being a towboat, and not some p.o.s. like the x80.

i know the demand has to be there or they wouldn't build them, just baffles me there are that many people who will buy a boat that big, maybe it's because i think a new good boat shouldn't cost more than 60-70k for a top of the line wake boat, regardless you build and price per demand and if you can sell it that fast for that much you have a great business, still it's a bad arse boat just seems overkill, i dunno maybe my views of it are weird or skewed

I might be able to afford that when it's like 10 years old...until then I'll rock my little direct drive! I would LOVE to have that mammoth of a boat! I guess if I had the money I would go for that...

Man all I wnated until about 2 months ago was a 210 Supersport/SuperAir. Could have cost me like 15K for a '95 SS. Now there's the G23... and I can add another 100K or so to it. Damn!
