    I would guess that dealers have already ordered a good portion of their 2020 inventory.

        Anyone know when the dealer's meeting is scheduled? Seems like there are usually some details by this point in the year and I'm already seeing photos of the new Malibus. Makes me think there are big changes coming.

          Remember when they introduced the G? They had a private plane and a huge launch event, it was next level.

          I feel like if they are dropping a new boat, it will be a spectical, and it’ll probably be after this season, getting orders pumped for the winter production months. October.

          I agree with the theory there will be lots of leftover G’s this year. Just means more people getting good deals!

            Someone posted a "design your Nautique" print screen or something similar on Facebook for a G25 2020 (deleted since then) confirming what seems to be the optional 2018 manual tower and the transom back seats.
            Have for a good day.

                Great tip . Appears to be rear facing transom seats and side stern vents. The hull does not appear to be redesigned .

                  Listings showing up on boattrader as well for G23 and G25. Though most of the pics appear to be 2019s

                    Most dealers (at least in high demand areas) are usually about out of G's by July and can't get any more, so I don't think that is a problem. July is when any leftover boats that are around start crisscrossing the country. There are a lot of people that just want a boat right now and don't really care if something a little different is showing up in a year or two.

                    I think sometimes we get a little false sense of reality here in the PN bubble - meant in a good way. We love our boats, we are into them, we take care of them, we obsess and talk about them and we keep them for a few years. When talking high dollar G boats, there are a surprisingly high number of people that want "the best" boat today or for their vacation next week, write a check, use the boat for a bit and then move on to the next boat or thing. For every person with a great day job who works for their boat, there is at least one other that could consider this type of purchase inconsequential. This is the reality across the entire powersports industry.

                    My G23 was purchased by someone who wanted a boat for a Powell trip, put 30 hours on it and then ordered a new one a couple months later. It was a late model boat that came off the assembly line in mid-July and was in storage by the end of August.

                      Brass or gold chromax option? Hmm. I know brass is making a comeback in homes now.

                        Thats a great perspective!

                          I like the gold chromax. The black and gold anniversary edition x stars looked awesome.

                            My local dealer (Sun Country) has 2020 listings for G25 and GS 20. They have inventory numbers, which in the past meant that they had been ordered, but the G25 rendering is generic so I have no idea...

                              I can confirm two things for sure, the above mentioned rear facing transom seats, and no more “stickers”... By “stickers”, I mean the graphics that have been an option from the outset, but that have shown up less and less on boats over the evolution of the G. These stickers cause owners and dealers fits. Scratched sticker? Get out your wallet. Scratched gel coat? Buff or color sand it out (or both).
