Hey all,
I am doing some research on getting a new boat, currently not a Nautique owner, but it is on the very short list.
Originally I was thinking of the G21 as we currently have a 21' (2013 Tige Z1) but didn't care for it. My wife agrees that if we are going to trade boats, we need to trade up to a 23'. With our current boat, we have minimal storage as ballast takes up the entire bow area and we upgraded to Enzo style bags for the rear which now eat up underseat storage, however we do have the surf pockets on our bimini and use the heck out of them as we mostly surf. Not a fan of putting the surf boards in the racks.
I am wondering where everyone stores their surfboards. We usually go out with 2-3 wakeboards (depending on the group) and 4 or so surf boards.
So, looking to the Nautique line, there is storage aplenty in the G23, that is more than obvious and I understand there is room for boards in the rear lockers. On the 230, there looks to be alot of storage, but nothing large enough for surfboards when the ballast is full. What does everyone do with their boards. Storage is a concern for us...as you can tell. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know....get the G23, as it does everything, I have heard that the 230 surfs better and I don't know if the extra $30K + it would be worth it.
We really like the Z5 rack other than the fact that I have to duck under it since it is mounted lower than the standard bimini.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated...maybe some day I will own a Nautique as well, but for now I appreciate being welcomed into your "community".
