    The Tige tower is a bit shorter, if you are vertically challenged like I am.

    I like that on my Nauti, the tower sits towards the rear of the boat, so my speakers do not blast the interior occupants when playing for the surfer or boarder.

      You will love the G23 and never think you settled for less if you stick to your plan. If it were me I'd start scanning onlyinboards and the post something on PN in the boat section. No need to wait until next year if the right boat comes along for the right price.

      Do you have any pictures from the test ride?
      The wife originally wanted to wait to til spring but I told her we may get a better deal in the fall so she's now ok with that. But if the right boat and price does show up then hopefully she be willing to drain our checking acct sooner 😀 Now we have to list our boat

        Don't sweat the extr coin over other makers... You'll get it back from a nautique when you sell it.

          There is no dispute the G is the ultimate boat right now. But it's a huge beast!
          Do u plan on towing? Where do u boat in ND? Basically a tiny market up there for Inboards. How far is the drive? Where u gonna store it? How are the launches? All questions u need to answer I think before committing to such a huge boat.

            My hemi Durango is 7400#s so I should be ok there. Our ramps are ok, were in the process of building a new house so I plan to have a 10'x14' door for the boat

              A big enough beast that my wife hates backing it into the water and my oldest son, the best boat driver in the family, is off to college before the season ends. It's a little more work for me when we go to the lake but not enough to keep me out of the G. We love it, wake, surf and storage! Just don't ski behind it.

                G23s weigh 8000lbs+ with trailer loaded down and headed for the lake. you are not OK. and you only need a 11'3" - 11'7" high opening garage door depending on which trailer you choose.
