Masters Blue Metal Flake

[pboltonmd]

My order for 2018 GS 22 is in but I am before my change order deadline. I have seen in person or in pictures of completed boats of every new an old color except masters blue metal flake. I am told the GS 20 on the Nautique website is Admiral Blue Metal Flake.

I have searched, olnyinboards, boattrader etc with no luck to find pictures this color. Dealer color samples do not give the real perspective.

Does anyone have a photo of a 2018 with any amount of Masters Blue Metal Flake on it?

Thanx.

That GS20 on the Nautique website looks a little light to be the Admiral Blue??? There is a pic of the Admiral Blue on Wizard Lake Marine website and it looks a bit darker then that GS20. Could that be the Masters Blue on the GS20??

So I talked to my dealer. He says Nautique.com GS20 is Masters Blue. The same day Nautique posted the boat to FB. I replied and asked, "Is that GS20 Admiral Blue or Masters Blue Flake. Nautique replied that it's Admiral Blue. Ughhh. Top to Bottom: Master's Blue, Admiral Blue & Reef Blue

Bingo. That's a good pic to show everyone the difference. Thanks for posting it.

And the thread below is why I am so confused. Look at Nautique's response.
MASTERS BLUE @ top , ADMIRAL BLUE bottom right

Hey Steaknshake....I believe he's talking about the new flake for 2018...not the interior for that was already available for 2017.......

Thanx for your replies. By using the color samples the dealer fedex'ed me I can't see how Nautique is saying the 2018 GS20 promo boat is Admiral Blue. But on a 2018 launch promo and in my exchange with Nautique above they are saying it's Admiral Blue. My dealer says it's Masters Blue, which is what I think, but the discrepancy between Nautique and my dealer makes me uneasy when spending so much $$$.

One boat with a stripe of Master's Blue Metal Flake popped up on Boat Trader this week. It wasn't shown very well because the lighting and angle of the photo was crap. My change order deadline is mid-November. I am just waiting for more 2018s to keep showing up on the sale sites to get a good look.

An email to Nautique has gone unanswered, which is kinda surprising.

Thanx TheJean. That looks to be it. Can't wait to see it in sunlight.

Yeah...I hear ya. Being a blue boat guy I would want to see in person just to lock down my final decision for sure. They've discontinued the color on mine....which was just "Blue Metallic"...but the Master's Blue kinda replaces it. I was thinking Reef Blue Metallic for my next one...but that won't be until another 2 years or so. I think it is good though that Nautique is giving us a light, medium, and dark in the blue metallics.....Keep us posted and i'll also look for more pictures if out there.

By the way, the trailer on that pic was not the same masters blue. The dealer needs to order new checker plate for it as it doesn't match the boat.

I was just at the Nautique factory last week and the 2018 GS20 on the website is the one on display in front entrance to building. It sure looked like Master's Blue metal flake to me and my son who was there also. I did not ask them so I can't be certain.

Any more new boat pics of the new masters blue?

[G_WaTT]

Here's mine (masters blue).

[pboltonmd]

That's real nice. I think I'll be happy with my design with Masters Blue flake dominating like your boat.

Thanx for sharing.
