G23 Bridge Clearance in the Water

[Kflow]

Hi all. I’m new here (please move this post if it’s in the wrong place).

I was curious if anyone knew the bridge clearance of the G23 in the water with the tower both up and down? We’ve been looking into G23’s but live on a canal with a bridge at the end. We don’t mind putting the tower down to drive under it going in or out.

Thank You!

There are many posts of the clearance while a G23 is on a trailer but I have not seen any posts on bridge clearance. I look forward to seeing the responses because I’’m curious myself

Yeah! I’ve done a bunch of searching but was only able to find those. I’ve asked in the Nautique owners Facebook group but haven’t gotten a solid answer. Figured it was time to go official and ask on here!

If you knew total height of boat, you could deduct the draft....if you are looking at one at dealer, sure you could figure it out pretty quick within 6" cause it will somewhat depend on how many people are in boat. You can always fill some ballast to drop it too. I imagine it would be roughly 7ft with tower up, 8ft at most....but that is a guess

I had this saved on my phone of a G21. Not sure how much difference in height it is from a G23. But its a start...

That is awesome! Where did you get this? I'd love to have this for my G23.

Team230. I found it just by an internet search, so I could see if a G21 would fit in my garage. I just searched the same way for a G23 and couldn't find the same chart.

Maybe someone from Nautique is viewing this thread? Nautique could easliy have a link on their website for all the boats in their fleet for owners and/or potential purchasers to pull up and download for their own use

^ X2 on that as I struggled to get a "guess at best" on height of the G23 on a trailer with or without tower folded. Be real nice if factory or boatmate or such would make a chart for all models like @G posted above.

I don't have any specific measurements but it will be quite specific to the model year, at least with the tower up. I see you're probably looking at a 2015 by your bio. This would be on the shorter realm of any model years.

The tower has gotten increasingly taller over the years. In 2017 the light fixture added a few inches (to house a camera I believe) and again in 2018, 6" increase to the actual tower for head clearance.

I can say from my experience on my lake with the water at full capacity there is a bridge I juuuuust barely clear in my 2016 G23. In any newer model I would not make it most of the season.
