Nautique Releases G23 Paragon

[ST3]

Wow! Very nice. Can’t wait to hear more about the wake.

Also, I hope the strategy moving forward is to have a range topping boat where key features trickle down each year to the rest of the line.

I really wanted to see mahogany top decks and teak floors!

That would have been so awesome!

He just said, in the video "the amount of detail is like nothing that has even been seen before."

Not to be a douche, but how do they decide what to upgrade and what not to? Cause for $265k it is the same steering wheel in my 2014 g21.

Watching this walk thru video makes me feel like i am watching a sci-fi movie. Very entertaining.

I was kinda thinking the same thing with the been around forever led cup holder rings.

I wish they would have given more detail on the hull changes. Curious to know if the surf wave improvements are due to changes in the running surfaces or just to the boat being a floating tank.

Congrats to Nautique and its engineers for getting creative and innovative in many aspects of the design on this boat. I’ll leave it there as there are sure there are things that I really love about this boat, and Then there are things I kinda scratch my head about, but overall, it’s awesome to see amazing new designs, hulls, tech, etc... in this industry I love so much (many of which will likely trickle down to the other Nautique boats in the future).

Surprised that tower is not getting high praise right out of the gate. That’s pretty money.

The boat looks undeniably awesome, but I just can’t see how it is base priced 100k more than a G23. The value just isn’t there. I also watch the video and can’t help but think how many things there are to break or malfunction.

Absolutely love the design and look of this boat but echoing the sentiment above, where is the extra 100k over a fairly well equipped g23. Also not sure how steer assist and upgraded stereo are not standard for 265k

I'll be inside one of these this afternoon. Anything in particular you guys want to see?

Similar to the Chris Craft Corsair

Let’s see some pictures and hear some info about the running surface!

I guess there's the StanCraft route, they did an all (?) mahogany MasterCraft and it looks like they made a Malibu design too. I'm sure they'd make me a mahogany OG 210 if I showed up with a truckload of cash.

Jeff, I'd really like to know what this exhaust port for?



How many of these design aspects will eventually make it to a new G23? Seems silly to have all the tooling for just a limited run hull... I bet we see a new G-series hull line eventually make it to the market based on this design.

The new Linc dual displays are a win for me! I never liked switching away from the engine data screen just to do ballast or some other control. Having 2 screens is money IMHO! I also like they ditched the Seadek on the dash for vinyl... never really liked the look of it.

I'd also like to see more or the overall hull design including inside compartments. Looks to be an entirely new top deck as well because the few storage spaces they show are different shapes. The batteries have been moved making for a cool space in the floor as well. That tiny cooler is a joke though!

I'm guessing the tower will not fold at all based on the design and they didn't show it.

Core....I'm betting the tower won't fold.....that's the whole idea behind the "telescoping" idea. My question would be...how 'Low' does it telescope? Will it go low enough with the bimini in place to fit in my garage? Not sure I like the look of the tower and bimini combo...but it is pretty cool to be able to adjust the height of the bimini with the push of a button.

Based on the pics/video I've seen it's still at least 1' above the windshield. That along with the higher overall height of the boat makes me think this boat will be a decent amount taller on the trailer than the 2020 G23 and all it's predecessors.

Jeff,
Here are a couple of questions if you get a chance.
Does it require premium fuel?
How does the transom storage compare to a G23, especially 2019 and back? I can probably comfortably fit 5+ surfboards in my 2018.
And, most importantly, how’s the surf wave compare?
