Nautique Releases G23 Paragon

[NautiqueJeff]

Nautique announced the Paragon is pulling the Nautique surf comps for 2020. No word what is pulling the Nautique wake series.

For now, the wakeboarding events are still going to be pulled with the G23 (non-Paragon).

This is getting ridiculous. $100K price jump? The value is just not there. Look at what you can get in the automotive world for $250K. Heck even if you do have the disposable income to purchase this boat your money would be better spent purchasing a home for cash and renting it out. Then you would have an appreciating asset that provides positive cash flow. And seriously, how many people can take advantage of the performance this boat is capable of? Maybe a handfull of pro riders? But people will buy them because the rule that a fool and his money will soon be parted will not be broken.

Big Nautique fan, G23 owner, will likely always buy Nautique. Not impressed by the feature set relative to cost of Paragon. Many of the features should be features of the new G w/o a drastic price jump. Nautique putting their time and resources into designing and building a luxury offering for very few exclusive buyers feels a little off brand and discouraging.

Cooler
Two positions for rear facing middle seat

Not sure if I missed it in the videos / info but did they say anything about faster tank filling = enhanced pumps?

Thought everyone was probably bored of the green one so here is red.

The configurator is clocking for me on Nautique site. After just seeing the Red...how many other colors will it be available in? I thought it would be more exclusive if they just made the green...but of course...not eveyone wants a green boat. I like green...but would like to see how it looks in blue.

Haven’t heard anything about that but it would be nice. Another change that would be welcome

its a little easier to see the bottom hull lines on the red boat it doesn’t appear from the side that the shape of the running surface is significantly changed, definitely want to hear more about that.

At the end of the day I wonder if we have reached significant diminishing returns in terms of wave. I’m no physicist but I’m guessing you can model all variations of fluid dynamics for a 10k lb 23ft boat producing a wave ♂️

But I digress, more pictures and details please has to be the best looking and engineered wake boat! Now I’m wondering does Nautique keep producing the regular G or do they phase it out or differentiate further in some way?

I really like the design of the Paragon. This red boat looks WAAAAY better than the green one. The red/grey/white really shows the geometric details much better than the green boat.

Where is this photo taken? Factory? I remember seeing shots of the 2019 G23 when it came out in a similar location.

Shape of the boat looks awesome, Inlike the red though I kind of miss the Super Air Nautique Chromax on the side. Wakes look awesome too but I would have a hard time seeing what would justify the price increase over the G23. I am not the target market for this though

This hits it on the head precisely.
Spending 150 to 200 on a "Normal" G23 isn't good enough to get a cooler in the back and a 2 position rear facing seat?
This boat isn't next level, it's just the level the normal G should be after 8 years on the market.

Yes, Boat looks naked without the chromax. It needs something! Other than that it is awesome!

[Mfish7]

With the paragon being so much more than pretty much anything else nautique has done would one expect it to depreciate more less or about the same as a loaded G23?

The configurator online lets you view the underside of the boat (running surface) from any angle you desire.
