    Yeah, the wave was pretty dialed and that was my dealers first trip out on the water with it. The sad part is that wasn’t fog but rather smoke chasing me lol! The whole PNW has been on fire. I couldn’t take staying inside anymore and was dying to demo this beauty! It was actually quite eerie on the water and it was one of the only places there wasn’t a smoke smell at all. The closest fire is actually about 90 miles away but the smoke get’s blown down and stuck in our valley. The new G wave all the way around is the best I’ve ever ridden, keeping mind this is purely a subjective measure. The length improvement is truly fantastic and I prefer the shape!

      Fire.....Boat looks Awesome!! Love the colors. Yeah...years back..maybe 2002 or 2003 my ex-wife and I took a trip to Denver to see some friends. We were in and out of the smoke from several big fires that week and that smell is STRONG. Gets into everything. Luckily, we had the wind in our favor for most of the trip...so it wasn't a total wash. I feel so bad for you guys and the West coast when these fires break out. So tragic in some areas. You gonna add a bimini to it or leave it like it is? I think it looks pretty good with or without. Just love the new lines on the 23 and 25...both G and Paragon. Have fun and stay safe. Ken

        This isn’t mine, though I did go with the reef blue flake and black hull, though I went with white on the rear hull stripe to break up the black a little. I am going to have the Bimini. We are in the desert portion of Washington, so it’s quite hot between May and September. Agreed on the lines of the boat! The fires are heartbreaking and devastating. A small town about 2 hours from me was wiped off the map in a matter of an hour. This boat is at Desert Valley Watersports in Prosser, WA.

          Oh cool...so that's the dealer demo. Reef Blue and Black will look good. I'm probably going to go Steel Blue/Black back/White hull on mine....with a white tower. Still kinda tossing it around. These boats always look good with some type of blue in the combo.

            I think I might have saw you out there when you cam back in from the demo. They were doing my on water walk through with me on my 2021. I have put about 25 hours on my my 2021 with lead and without. Let me know if you have any questions.

              I have about 25 hours on my '21 now. I have 900 lbs of lead. Makes the wave as good as you would ever need or want it to be. I actually think the stock wave is pretty great as well and leave a ton of room for storage.

                Where have you found to be the most effective locations to place your lead in the new hull design?

                  I put 350 under the starboard side flip up seat directly under the tower, 400 under the port side flip up seat directly under the tower, and 150 up near the sub under the port side observers seat. Havn't messed with it much from that but I could see the benefit in moving some more under the observers seat depending on crew size. The wave is awesome with a nice hard lip to help with carving and can easily adjust the size with the dash. The length of the pocket is probably double the length of my 23lsv so we are pretty happy.

                    That's very close to the weight configuration we used in the 2021 G23 which produced one of the best waves I have ever ridden.

                      I actually placed the weight based off your recommendation. Definitely makes an awesome wake. I'm not a very good surfer and the longer pocket makes life a lot easier for me.

                        Can't wait but for now I'm done boating for the season. Just took my last Powell trip, between that and East Canyon put around 160 hours on the G21 this year.
