On the positive side, hopefully it drives the resale value of the current G series down a bit so I can get one in a few years a wee bit cheaper.

Jeff could you please ask - perhaps JD or another rider if the wakeboard wake has changed at all with the hull update?

[sja]

Of course a bit overhyped (for me clamp racks would have been more of a "game changer") but that's not Jeff's fault. Thanks Jeff for all the pics!

I don't get it. Yo don't run a "game changer" campaign and then unveil a few tweaks like a new touch screen, audio upgrades and engines. Very disappointing...

Yes, thank you Jeff for taking the time to post all the pics and updates.

It's a new hull too. Not much will be known until people get this on the water I guess.

The link didn't work so I'm still waiting to see why the game has changed. I did hear it has remote control wake surf control (when the audio in the link worked for 30 seconds) but I've seen that already this week from Malibu. I can't tell the difference from a G23 from the pics posted here. Anti climax for sure

At least for me, the only thing game changing are the motors. 5.3 is now plenty for the 200.

Thanks, Jeff.

Did they do anything about the fact that for decent subwoofer sound you have to do so much modification after it leaves the factory?

You guys are a tough crowd for sure. I am surprised to hear of a new hull. After all, how do you improve on perfection? That could be a gamechanger right there.

The web page specifically mentions 'dry ride'. This boat by far has the wettest ride of any boat I have owned. The vertical sidewalls push the water straight up and if there is a 5 MPH breeze, it blows into the boat. The other boats I have owned send the spray a little farther laterally. I hope that deeper belly helps to solve that.

Touch screen...ugggh. Try getting parts for a 10 year old Ipod. I find my buttons plenty reliable. Too bad that is the way everyone is going. I have gone the rounds on the discussion boards about this before, but there is valid concern that when the screen fails in 10 years, you have a boat that is unusable and unfixable.
