test drove and surfed 2014 210 today!

[archcityblues]

Loved it! Not much more to say. It surfed better than the MC x30 in my opinion, nice steep long wave. My dealer did confirm a G21 later this season, but I think that this is really the boat for us. I'd be happy to answer any questions about it.

Have you surfed a 2013 210 before to compare to the 2014? Any pics of the wave? Did he say anything about the specifics of the G21

[archcityblues]

Inside the boat seemed a little deeper than a 2013. Didn't notice too much diff between the surf wave because when we demo a 2013 last week, we added the same ballast weight that was on the 2014 w/sacs. No specifics on the G21, just approx. weight and shape. They told me that it would look exactly like a 23 only two feet shorter, they thought it would be the same width as a 23?? I think I might put a down payment on the 210?? Leaving mastercraft feels weird.. Any last thoughts to pull me over??

Why not wait for the g21? I would be super sure you wont' regret not having the g...

Nautique and MC both make great boats just gotta find the boat from both manufactures that fits you best. I think by Nautique having a surf system you'll see alot of ex-MC owners here.

The surf system is whats pulling me over. as for the G21, I just can't afford the extra $ for the boat and the upgraded lift that I'd need. I really liked the 210. I was very impressed, as I haven't spent much time in a Nautique. I was surfing a MC X1, so it was a big change!

What kind of ballast were you running in the 210?

Nice, glad you got out to test out both. I would wait to check out the G21. You can still get a good deal in the spring with the boat show pricing and that way you will not have a doubt.

I have a 2012 210 with NSS. Absolutely love everything about the boat and the wave it produces. I no longer wakeboard but everyone who rides behind our 210 is crazy about it.

You'll be pleased with a Nautique!

Here is a nice one

How much do you guys think a G21 will cost?
(Coming from someone who has no idea what new boats go for these days!)

[ers906]

Probably about $105K

I think there is a near zero chance of getting a G21 w/ trailer at 105$.

I'd bet you'll be into 115-120 for a low optioned G21 on trailer.

all they are removing is 2ft of fiberglass. Everything else still is in there and costs the same. Maybe more because of the increased r&d for the hull and trying to make it all fit.

the good thing is, that 450 on the 17" prop will be a PERFECT match and great power for that boat. That will help keep the cost down, No 550 needed.

If they could sell a well optioned 450 G21 on trailer under $110k, they'd need to increase their production capability by a huge amount, they'd sell like hotcakes. Malibu VLX, MC 25, and all the other 21ft boats would get hit HARD.

Ordered mine and waiting. Thanks for the review

Probably about $105K

I could see $105. What's the price diff between a 23 and 25? You would think a 21 would fall along those same price spreads. And I've heard of nicely equipped g23s being sold new as low as $115 and that's with the 450. So I could see a g21 getting down to $100k out the door. They need to be there to compete with the x-25 I would think.
