New boat decision input

[Chuck]

That is some freakin gorgeous water right there! WOW! Is that Tahoe?

Yep, that’s the owner of the local Nautique dealer in Sacramento- Superior Boat’s Bob Bense. Lake Tahoe is a blast! (When it’s not super windy!)

I would keep your G. Not enough has changed. Funny. I own a 200 and a G23 and I am always impressed how the G drives and handles.

Why not keep the 2014 G23? Here is our 2014 G23 wave...on Tahoe.

That wave looks pretty awesome. The g21 is not at all fun to drive as compared to my 2008 210. And being fun to drive is an important factor. But not the only factor in the decision. If it was me I would keep the g23. But as the saying goes, it is a free country.

Not sure what the problems are that people are having that makes them say the G drives bad. I went from a 230 to a G23 and love the way the G drives compared to the 230. I find it easier to dock and awesome in the chops and other than adjusting to the momentum it carries when circling back for a rider, I have found it to be an easy transition.

Build quality isn't there on a Tige or Centurion.

I’ve been through Tige and Nautique factories and both make a very solid boat. Tige handles chop great, tower is solid as heck. Nautique might have a more luxury feel on interior, but overall I prefer Tige wave shape.

I'm no help but am interested that you have a 2014 and are 'finally' getting a new boat. I traded a 20 year old boat (bought new) on a 2010 SNOB 200 and still consider it a nearly new boat. How often are you guys trading boats?

Like you I had had a Sport Nautique which I bought new in 2001 which was 16 years old before I trading on the 2017 G23 . But to answer your question, I think there are many folks on the forum who trade boats every other year or so.

If you need more interior space than you currently get in your G23, go with a G25. If not, I'd get another G23. Would only get a GS if you plan to ski regularly.

You must not get out much if you think this. Nautique is an top knotch boat, no doubt about that. Tige is also a high quality boat and actually has a pretty impressive interior, I have always like the diamond stitching on the vinyl. Centurion has vacuum infusion on their hull that doesnt get an "higher quality" and nothing about them is cheap. Even the "budget boats" are pretty nice these days....the "top 5" brands are expensive for a reason. You need to get out more often and take your blinders off.

After testing a bunch of brands , the fit and finish was pretty close on them all, I thought the dash finishing on centurion was maybe a little behind,but other than that they all where really nice. I really liked the finishing in the supra ( we settled on the Sl). We had a 210 which we loved , but the 50k difference(cad) for a g23 was just to much.

[Infinity]

The new Supra SL is pretty nice and would be on my shortlist when I upgrade. The "autowake" feature is worthless for people who know how to set up their own boat, but good for noobs. Centurion, Nautique and Supra would be the 3 I would chose from, all the new boats are pretty sweet. All have pros and cons, just gotta pick what is best for you.
