G21

[texasgator]

I am struggling to make a decision between the G21 and the G23. Current G21 owners, have you ever had buyers remorse and wish you went with the 23? How about 23 owners, ever wish you had gone with the 21? Our normal crew will be 6-10 people. Our home lake can be pretty rough. Not sure if there is much of a rough water ride difference between the two.

This is a great problem to have but one I must get figured out before I place the order. I would appreciate any advice and input. Getting excited to place the order and will be in Austin on Friday to get a sneak peek at the 2016s.

With 6 to 10 people, G23 all the way.

6 people are easy in a G21, but 10... then i would go for a G23, or G25.

6-10 people. 23 all the way

As one of visions 6-10 individuals, I can also attest that the g23 is a very happy place to be. I can also say that while the 21 can handle a good amount of weight, driving the 23 is actually quite straight forward.

You lose the built-in cooler in the G21. Nice to have that in the floor.

I haven't checked, but what is the price difference between a 21 and a 23?

Of course I'd wait until the 17th to see what the BIG announcement is from Nautique.

Texasgator....I went with the 21 just based on the size of my old 226 and my usual crew/kids. Never drove the 21 or 23 but just "gut" feeling took the 21 and I have no buyer's remorse....that is until I go to Austin this Friday.....LOL. To me...the width of the G21 makes up for loss of length compared to my old boat. Based on the comments in your post...go with the G23 and or wait until the announcement. Maybe see you this Friday.

Hi,
I have got a G21 and come from a 220. It is not size what makes a boat roomier. Itīs seating configuration and G21 is better off because of this
Regarding G21 vs. G23 I do not see big difference if you look at interior (check lifting ring distance). G23 has an extra cooler and is 1,5 feet longer inside. Anyway, none of them are confortable for more than 8 people as width is the same. At the end is how many people you can accommodate looking backwards. You can push to 10 by seating 3 on the bow. 2 driver and passenger and 5 at the rear bench, but itīs too tight..... So go for 2xG21 haha

G23 all day every day!

G23 is going to be the way to go with that size of crew plus rough water at times.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Looks like I need to stay the course and move forward with the 23. Good times!!!
