I am in the process ... going to finalize order next weekend, however due to demand looks like I wont be boating until September ... Worth the wait I think though.

Pulling it behind my Duramax, no problem

I'd love to retrofit a Duramax in my Yukon.

Picture that - a Silver Birch Yukon Duramax sleeper pulling a G23 silver cloud/onyx black with black tandom trailer dual disc brakes.

Jd already has one. Not sure which color/engine though

Which engine did you go with? I talked to a dealer and it looks like they are slated for August. I'm debating whether or not to just wait and order one so it will arrive in March.

XS550 ... and yes my dealer is saying not until September. I am up in Canada however, so would take time to ship. September is not a bad month for being on the water tho, usually a lot nicer than July, it will just suck to lose out on all of August.

I spec'ed it out with the ZR450, but I'm seriously thinking about the XS550. That engine has to be a monster!

I have been in these boats with both engines. The 450 does great. The XS550 is awesome though. It sounds like an airplane taking off, and has crazy power.

So, the 450 is plenty and the 550 is just icing on the cake. Top speed isn't all that important to me, but what kind of speeds did you see with these engines? And was the supercharger whine annoying on the 550?

Does anybody know where the stereo amps are located on this boat? On the 230 they are on the hull side of the passenger seat storage, however I have not seen them in any of the photos .... ?

We did not check top speed whie we were out. Probably should have. I was concerned more with acceleration. The 550 did have a whine to it, but once up to speed you don't even hear it. It actually sounds really cool taking off. Not overly loud, but different from the 450.

In fact, here's a video I shot one day when Greg Meloon and I were playing around with a 230 with an XS-550. This may give you some idea of the sound. Obviously the sound from behind the boat where this was shot is way different than the sound inside the boat.

I forgot that you knew him - does he have a Yukon or a Suburban? Did he get the Duramax put in at that place in Florida?

Is he going to get a G23?

Sorry about all the questions, just curious.

[schaabj]

In August Nautique is going to release the G25 .... which is a 25 foot edition of the G23, how many people on here are waiting for that?

What makes you think this?

[gride]

My stating that was simply that he already got one so when production starts I'd imagine they'll start going to dealers and customers quicker. And as far as I know he still has a 2wd 1500 on 24's

[schaabj]

What makes you think this?

I have been told by my dealer as they want to make sure we do not want to wait for the 25 .. I am thinking the G25 will be better suited for ocean usage as the G23 is plenty big for my lake adventures
