Nautique Production 2020

[RDT-G23]

I can say for sure that all 2020 Paragon sales/order slots are full. (I'm not sure of production schedule changes or delays, given what is going on) It has been at least a month that a person could not order a 2020 Paragon. Dealers were told that any Paragon order from that point would be for the 2021 model year with a decent (yet undisclosed at the time- maybe now available...price increase!)

I have a 2020 Nautique 200 on order. The original delivery date was the first week of May. I was updated last week that the delivery would likely be May 15. I am not sure if that will happen now.

Did you hear back from your dealer? Mine said they wouldn't know until Monday which custom order boats will be built before 4/13.

Just heard from my dealer that my G23 ordered 22 February did get finished. The factory is still trying to figure out the logistics of shipping it, but at least it got built. The trailer manufacturer is apparently also having issues, so the jury is still out as to whether their will be a trailer to set the boat onto once it eventually gets shipped. Will deal with one problem at a time I guess.

Good luck. Keep us posted. Hope you get your new boat.

The dealer called about my 200. End of May/beginning of June. Factory is slowed down.

Sorry to hear that.

Apparently transportation from FL must not be too much of an issue since I am told my G23 will be at the dealer tomorrow. Issue now is that Boatmate trailer production is still shutdown and have roughly a 6 week back order from restarting production before they get to my trailer. Not real sure what to do about it, but if anyone has a G23 trailer they would be willing to lend me within 200 miles of the Richmond VA area please let me know. I am sure we could come to some sort of agreement.

OH man.... I haven't even thought to ask about the trailer. Hopefully the dealer can give me a loaner to at least get the boat launched. Crazy times we are living in.

I have a 2019 G23 trailer not being used in Gainesville, GA. Farther than 200 miles but if that would be helpful I am happy to work something out (not selling, just can borrow it).

No confirmation, but heard Nautique is shut down or is shutting down and that 2020 models will be limited.

Anyone else heard something similar?

Production still ongoing with a slight shift in product mix.Good job guys!

"Once we can get those masks out to people, we'll be ready to refocus when the world is ready to get back on boats."

Where did you hear production is ongoing? The person I talked to today said they are shutting down boat production, but until I hear it from two places I don't count on it.

Mask production is ongoing. I'm not saying anything about the boats.

Sounds like it's going to be like I predicted in this thread two weeks ago...a real mess. Boats will be delayed (and I predict much much more than a few days), still time to think about a plan B and remember...if it's just a new boat that you have to worry about right now than life is pretty good!!

My dealer in Austin told me yesterday that production in still on track - expected completion on April 2nd, which is a week earlier than first projected. FL hasn't ordered any businesses to shut down yet, but I'm not sure how long that will last. Not sure how dealer installs and delivery will go, but so far, so good. Nautique 200 almost done! Fingers crossed!!

Sail and Ski? I thought they were closed for the time being.

Let me know if you ever need a hand with Stereo related work! Ken, service manager at S&S, send a lot of their clients my way.

Well, it looks like boat manufacturing may be on hold. I saw this posted to Facebook from SeaArk (one of Correct Craft's other companies) today.

SeaArk Boats - COVID-19 update

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Correct Craft has made the decision to, temporarily, close all its manufacturing facilities including SeaArk Boats Wednesday April 8th. Our number one goal is to protect our employees, customers, and suppliers. We want to arrive on the other side of this tragic situation as healthy as possible. Although, we are not positive when we will be able to return, we are hoping for the first of May. There will be a small customer service team here to answer phones and emails. We are continuing to pray for all of the victims, our team, and the entire country and hope to get back to our normal lives soon

Sincerely
Steve Henderson
