G23 Build Pics

[lion90]

About 1.5 months ago, I decided to trade in my 2009 SAN 230 to order a 2013 G23. It was a really tough decision and when the dealer came by to pull my 230 out of the water and take her away, it was a very sad moment. It has been a terrific boat and there are definitely things that I will miss.

However, yesterday, I got my first pics of the G23 just out of the mold. As much as I will miss my 230, I am now excited to see the G23 built and eventually into my dock.

Below is a link to the pictures so far. I will update as I get more for those of you interested in seeing the build process.

My buddies G23 started a few weeks before mine and had it's first water test yesterday. Cool stuff and I am almost as anxious to see his in person as I am mine.

Congratulations and great choice on the colors. We have the same palette on our 2010 201 SANTE and it looks beautiful.

Those are great pics, best I've seen so far on the G23 build process. We were at the factory in late March, and they were just finishing up the prototypes and were working on getting them to the Wake Games, so none of the G's in process. The new stringer system is completely different than the 210/230's etc. and is what allowed them to hide all that ballast under the floor.
Congrats on the new toy, and great colors! Love that Blue/Black combo...

Nice!! when are you expecting it for delivery?

Even more pictures added now of it basically complete.

Not sure on delivery. My buddy, biggator, had his completed about a week or so ago so I imagine they will be on the same truck when they make a delivery up there to Atlanta area.

No huge hurry other than anxiousness to see it in person.

Nice!! when are you expecting it for delivery?

So, to answer your question, I was just told that it will be at my dealer tomorrow along with my buddies. I was not prepared for this but exciting.

Are these two G's going to Marine Max in Buford? Can you leave them there until after Christmas so I can go drool on them? :-) the in-laws are not far from there, and I always get up to "boat dealer row" to get out of their house during the holidays, would be cool to see your new babies!

Yes, they are going to Marine Max in Buford. Mine may still be down there until the first weeks of January since it is going down the street to AVC Marine to get two pairs of WetSounds REV10s installed along with Amp and Equalizer.
