Nautique Releases G23 Paragon

Wow! I have to admit I was reading along and all the sudden bam!!!!!!!!!!! "I placed an order". Wow. I didn't see that coming. Good for you. Enjoy the heck out of it...

Can anyone speak to the surf wave? For me, the only reason to upgrade to the Paragon is a next level wave, not a marginal one, but next level. I don't need all of the luxury performance items necessarily, but if the wave is like nothing we have seen, then I am in. Mainly because I am ready for new having a 2015 G23', but the justification for me to spend the extra $100k, is predicated on the wave being superior, the rest is ancillary for me. If anyone can comment on that from experience over your current G that would be appreciated.....thanks in advance!

First off, my hat's off to anyone that can afford one of these beasts. Good to see capitalism working as it should.

That said there must be some mindset that I can't even begin to comprehend that would make you want to buy a $265K G23. I get that I don't understand that income level mindset but even if I won the lottery I'd be looking at doing a Nautique for the mornings/evenings and a G23 for the afternoons rather than spending that kind of jack on a surf boat. I get the premise of the boat but I'm sorry it just doesn't work for me as I just can't get past the price and use case. Then again if you have a blank check type of bank account I guess what does it matter.

For those of you who can, have or will purchase one congratulations. It is truly the current pinnacle of the market sector.

RDT-G23 - Love that you ordered one, and love the Ferris Bueller quote! Let us know more when you get to play with it more.

RDT-G23 Very cool. How organized are they around these boats? You have a build date slot and approximate ETA or just "on the list"?

I’d say “they are working on getting organized”. I don’t want or need it until March or so. I should have more of the information you are asking in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime-I’m having a good time “jacking” with our mutual friend! He loves it, but just bought a G25. He wants the Paragon to come out in a 25, which I’ve been told will happen.

Check out Murray behind this boat. I talked to him about this boat last week. I think he likes it!

That Raley was HUGE even by Murray standards.

Watched that yesterday. It’s sick how he effortlessly he seems to ride

Paragon spotted Orlando Florida on 528

Dont see these everyday trailered down the highways

[mooneywa]

Appears to be a half ton too, although it's hard to tell for sure

[NautiqueJeff]

What is surprising to me is the dual-axle trailer. That's the first Paragon I have seen that wasn't on a triple.

EDIT: The trailering discussion has been moved to its own thread here:

Dual-axle trailer, not using transom straps, and yeah I'm guessing that's a 1/2 ton truck based on it's squatted stance. Is that the pres release boat? Based on the interior it looks green, but hard to tell about the hull.

I just talked with a friend of mine who surfed behind the Paragon yesterday in Austin. He has a 2018 G23-and had initially told me that there was no way he'd do this (upgrade)... While I can't say he will not for sure, after surfing/"demoing" it-he is seriously "conflicted"/thinking about it. I say this because I think they are selling many more than folks might assume...
