General Color Discussion but G23 on order!

[wakeslasher69]

Ok so I just placed my order for a G23 and man am I excited! (even if my delivery date is mid June ) I'm coming out of a 2009 Malibu LSV 247. Yes the NSS got me! Just like the design better than the Surf Gate. So any general option feedback on G23 is appreciated but I'm more curious on colors.

I have seriously been researching color combos for two weeks now (getting a headache trying to decide!) though I do have quite a bit of time before I have to select. ANYWAY, my general color question is this; those that have purchase "colorful" boats with a majority of the gel coat an orange, yellow, green, red etc; do you get tired of the color after awhile? I have been gently leaning towards the Sublime Green as an forward, accent and tower color but I'm worried that I'll get tired of the color over time. My current boat is mostly black with Vapor Blue accents so its not "mostly" colored. I do LOVE the brochure G23 with the metallic blue and black hull and it seems like a more classic color combo that will hold up to time and good resale. Of course the white, black and grey combos are classic as well. I do want the boat to "pop" on the water but I don't want the color to get tired or out of date.

So those that have mostly colored hulls and sides do you still like them as much a year or more later? TIA!

I don't have my G23 yet but we are going with the red boat in the photo. My local dealer has the yellow boat that looks pretty amazing in person.

lion90 just got one like you're describing.. like the brocure one, but without the design package (so windshield/tower/accents are all black). It's a great combo (I like the black accents better than the white, personally)

Maybe this will answer your question:
My 2006 X-Star feature color: Yellow
My 2010 X-Star feature color: Green
My 2013 G-23 feature color: Sublime Green (with Crush Orange a very close 2nd)

Best of luck, and man that's a LONG delivery time! I just signed the paperwork 2 weeks ago and my ETA is March 25th.

Cheers,

Dusty

Man, I signed mine about a week ago I wonder why mine is so far off? Did you dealership already have some build "slots" and you basically took one over? Thanks!

I'm sure the dealer had some slots...mandatory or spec.

I think its personal preference honestly. I had a white hull and a red main strip, a black hull, orange main stripe, and black top deck strip, and I my g is going to be orange again. So for me I love the color on the boats they just pop off the water more and I never get tired of it. I just dropped my 230 off yesterday at the dealer and since it had been in storage I for got how much I like the orange. I was in the same boat as you just couldn't decide on what color to get I literally drove my self crazy looking at colors and making different combos. Its so hard with out seeing the actually boat its self but after seeing my boat yesterday it is a no brainer to get orange again for me. I love the classic looks but to me its a toy it should be something that pops and that you like plus im in my twenties so I still like the loud colors haha. As far as the June delivery date that seems really long. I ordered mine early Feb and its sprays on 4/12/2013 should be here 4/27/2012 !! Ill post some pictures I have for you to see the green hopefully it will help ! Good luck either way you will have a badass boat !

Hey gate what color combo with green are you going with?

[Nautiquehunter]

Love the green. Forth season with the orange not tired of it yet.

[SnakeDoc]

Sigh, Nautiquehunter truly has the best setup. Orange for life!

Hey gate what color combo with green are you going with?

I originally wanted to go with the first picture I put up but.... I couldn't steer away from the orange its kind of my signature color haha plus all my equipment matches ropes, jackets, and boards. After 3 years with the orange everything kind of goes with it now. I really like the first pics I think its enough black to not let the green over take the boat and its unique. Im all about having a things no one else has nothing worse than spending the money these boats cost and seeing the exact same boat all the time IMO. I also liked the all black with the green accents, it doesn't pop but all black looks really good. The murdered out thing is kind of in right now so that wouldn't be back either !

That is the Victory Red.

Yeah that had a slot available I was able to customize. They (Buxtom Marine) are one of the largest (I've heard "THE" largest but I don't know that for a fact) Nautique dealers in the world. Which means either I'm really surprised they had an open slot given how many boats they sell, OR I'm not the least bit surprised since they buy so many boats that they get so many slots.

Regardless though, June is a long, long time away. I could see a 6-8 week build time but you're sitting at 12 weeks+. I feel for ya!

my dealer had a slot open up, I had 72 hrs to pick colors and options! got the boat in 3 weeks!!
