Changes for 2016

Wonder if they will ever do a gravity ballast? How cool would it be to fill/drain in 50-60 seconds......

That's a big change but it would be nice to see higher capacity pumps or double up the pumps.

How bout a flexible balast gauge system than can be easily adjusted no matter what kind of set up you have. Perhaps some kind of remote float that work off pressure head.

Good idea.

Well now that CC owns Centurion, they can adopt RamFill without getting sued!!!

Is Ram fill a popular option? I heard it was rarely selected but I do not know why.

New Direct Injection engines. For you 200 enthusiasts, the new 5.3DI will provide more power and efficiency than the 5.7, eliminating the need to go with the new 6.2. Jumpers will still opt for the larger engine though.

I think it is Hit & Miss. The biggest issue is that RamFill being hard tanks takes up pretty much all the storage under the seats and about 1/2 way up in the lockers. If it was on a G boat, it could be done without loss of storage. They have had some issues with the RamFill valves but seem to be improving on that. If RF is added to the G boats, they need to make sure the valves are easily accessible as they tend to need some maintenance.

Any updates on the 2016 changes? I know they should start building them next month, but when do they go public with the info? I am likely in the market to order a 2016 G23 but may be open to picking up a leftover/demo/used if I can get a great deal and the colors work, assuming there are no huge changes. I am in no rush to order the 2016 as my real target is to be on the water next season, but I am just getting very curious/excited.

I heard we won't know until July 20-something

There is a member on here that has a spray date for a 2016 G23 the first week in July. He just sold his 2015 last week and says the changes for 2016 was why he ordered a new boat. I'd say if you were a serious buyer then Nautique would inform you of the changes for 2016.

September/October is a great time of year to pick up a used or demo boat for a sweet deal. I saw a leftover 2014 G23 at the dealer loaded up with options and PCM450 for $109K last September. It was a demo boat with 20 hours but that's a nice deal.

Interesting the news ive herd suggests no massive changes.....

You'll see

Any rumors on adding an NSS or a similar system to the Sport Nautique? With the rise in the popularity of surfing, I would think 200V sales are much slower since the VTX has Surfgate. This seems like such a no-brainer for Nautique but maybe this boat is the "red-headed" stepchild of the line simply due to volume. Obviously, margins on a G23 have to be huge in comparison. It's just sort of shocking that Nautique would cede market share because they don't offer a state of the art product.
