    The 20 ski wake is pretty rough, cannot imagine a bigger heavier version is going to be anything but worse, lol
    From the video the build quality looks fantastic as does the functionality, just can't get past the fact that is one ugly azz boat, lmao

      How is a longer heavier boat going to be a slalom boat?

      Just get a true G series boat I would think.
      Agreed, it won't be a decent slalom boat, no matter how they spin it.

        Interesting opinion on the GS series being ugly. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion. The GS may not look as good as the current 210/230 (which I think might be the best looking boats on the market), but I think the GS line looks a lot better than the G boats.

          Hah, shade perhaps it's likeness to the G is what I don't care for, would be interesting to see one in the water and maybe with a different gel pattern, bow area is what kills it for me.

            That's gotta be one tedious job buffing/waxing that boat with all that sea deck everywhere.

              Ha Ha..............was thinking the same thing.

              Be interested to see what these things go for all dressed up. My guess is that they will be up there which may keep the 210s selling to us guys that like paying less than 100k for a great boat!

                Quinner, I get it man. The bow on a lot of these new boats reminds me of my grandfather's old 1970 trihull! LOL. This is why I think the current 210/230 are such good looking boats...traditional bow and awesome lines IMO. I do like the G and GS bow better than the pickle fork bows that other manufacturers have gone to. I think the GS just looks a little sleeker and sportier than a G, but no where near the great looks of a 210/230. I'm sure others will disagree and say the 210/230 is way too old school.

                    I agree with eveningshade. Although the G series boats are incredible. You can't beat the look of the 210/230.

                      I think the G's and the Gs looks great! I love the traditional bow and lines on the 210/230 also, they all look really nice in my opinion. Although you can see where design team got thier inspiration for the design of the G boats

                        Nailed it. Ha!

                        I actually like the look of the GS over the looks of the G. And I like the driving performance of the GS over the 210, hands down. The NCRS is amazing, as is the power and ride. Admittedly I've only driven the 343hp 210, whereas the GS20 has the 400+hp.

                        The looks of the 210 are hard to beat.

                          Quinner, I'm loving G-pa's yellow tri with the Chrysler outboard! Vintage! Takes me back to my childhood when I thought a 1970 16' trihull with an 80hp Mercury outboard was awesome. Haha. The only gauge we had was a speedo that worked sometimes. We could squeeze out almost 34mph if both of the six gallon gas cans were almost empty. So no footin behind that boat. Maybe if we sacked it out it could've been a baby G surf machine. LOL!

                            This looks just like grandad's boat except his was an outboard! Lol. Those were simple times, but I wouldn't trade the memories of that boat or the lake house for anything. I still love the smell of 2-stroke outboard exhaust.

                              I agree a little with Quinner about the GS20 - GS22....but I don't think the boat is ugly...I just think it is too BUSY...if you can see what I mean. Too many angles, and trim, and come on...you guys honestly like that pattern on the drivers side dashboard?? Agreed....maybe with the right gel combo the outside of the GS can look pretty nice....but my eyes are doing figure 8's every time I look and the back and the interior. KISS.....

                                I get what you are saying about it being busy, especially the helm with the argyle seadek. How are you supposed to clean that? It's not like you can take a pressure washer to the dash. Dust and pine pollen would really be hard to clean out of the groove in dash seadek in the spring here in Georgia. Nevertheless, I will still probably order a GS20 if I can ever get a chance to see one in person.
