    Manufacturing Delays

    Got word today that my early May build date for my GS20 has pushed till June. Dealer cited delays at the factory but not much else. Others hear this news? Major bummer.

      I would bet money the dealer used your spray date for another sale where delivery time was the key to closing the deal. They may also have been paying more.

        Something sounds fishy. The dealer might not have placed order with Nautique right away? Or maybe another dealer pulled some strings? Who knows, but the factory being delayed several weeks would be a pretty big deal, although it is a new model and they could possibly be running into issues...

          That's my worry. Maybe my allocation has gone to someone else....

              They did say it was a specific push on GS20's so perhaps since Nautique builds in batches there is more G23/other model demand, but want to see if another GS20 owner with a May build date is in my same boat.....

                One extra month is a long time for a new boat. It will be worth the wait.

                  My guess is not having enough GS molds vs available build slots, no sales history on a new model.

                    My dealer didn't hear anything on the GS or G..matter of fact putting a couple orders in for 2 new GS this week.

                      I received word 2 days ago that the schedule had pushed out a couple weeks. My original spray date was scheduled first week of April and now its scheduled for April 19th. I will be there for tour on April 21st. I know manufacturing schedules slide once in a while so didn't worry me. However your delay seems to be longer than mine was.

                        You guys had me sweating for a few minutes. Called my dealer and everything is still a go for my G23. No changes for a early-mid May finish..

                          Placed my order for GS20 in December for an early March spray date and finish date this week. Heard today it is shipping tomorrow. Right on schedule.

                            I found out that my G21 has been pushed out from late April, to early May and then found out on Friday that it's now June 1st.

                            This is going to create a lot of issues with our summer travel schedule, so leaning towards canceling my order. I owned a Mastercraft before this, so I may end up never being part of the Nautique family. But I will have a nice Pebble watch as a keepsake!

                              Hey GS77494 Can I have your build slot? I went and looked at a '17 G21 yesterday, and wife and I are leaning towards building our own. We have a lot going on the next few months, so waiting a bit may not be that big of a deal.
