Picking out my G23 Colors

[mikeporter2000]

I've had a black boat since 2003 and have had no problems keeping it clean. I would say the only caveat is if you keep it in the water for extended periods of time (not on a lift). Still, I feel the black hull is easier to keep clean than a white hull. Here is a pic of my boat from last summer. Go black for sure!

I had a black hull 196 for several years (see my 2003 link below). No issues. Spray first 2-3' of the bunks with a silicone spray. This will help it slide on. Don't spray the whole thing or it will slide off. It will still get some scratches where the bunks are, but hard to see them. I'd get another one!

I ve heard that using silicone may cause hull blistering. That a better choice is liquid rollers or just spray on carnuba wax.

I had a black hull 05 211 for 3yrs and never had a problem. people always asked me how i kept it clean, but i never did anything different than what i did for a white hull. I never really looked where the bunks or the beach would hit it because who cares anyway, and when i traded it they never looked either. I take good care of my boats but I dont care if i get a scratch here or there because when it comes time to sell or trade in nobody pays a premium for a boat that is in spectacular condition Vs very good condition.

Hi Jeff,

Do you know if the red one in the picture is a red metal flake color or just the victory red? Struggling to find any pics of a red metal flake g23.

Jeff do you know how many they have built?
Not how many they plan to build, but how many exist today? Right now?

working on a order as well.

Deposit is going in monday for the boat and motor.

We will have a couple of weeks (or months) to get the color and options figured out.

My dealer says DAYS away from ending early buy program. production is almost full.

We just recieved our 5th G23 here in MN and the last two were hull# 104/105. Just for reference.

We have only fully rigged 2 so far, so the speakers, racks, not on yet.
