Has anyone been able to demo a 2021 G25? Just curious what the difference are in wave characteristics from the G23? In particular how much longer is the G25 wave? I think Nautique made a mistake by not making more ballast available, as I suspect it will need considerably more weight to produce a wave that's comparable in shape and push as the G23...though this is purely conjecture as I don't have any experience with the new hull design. Ballast can obviously be substituted with lead...just wish you could drain it when you're done with it lol.

Go under Show us Your Nautique....."Just got my G25" He said it was amazing compared to his 2019 G25. -
If I’m not mistaken - it has the same ballast weight as the G23 ...Comment

That is correct. Which, is why I’m wondering if they should have broke from the mold of their past and increased the ballast capacity on the larger G25.Originally posted by RDT-G23 View PostComment

I've got 80 hours on mine and I absolutely love it. I run a business so I have to keep the wave at a reasonable size for teaching so I just but 400's in the back and I think the wave is great. Plenty of push and you can surf 3ft farther back than with my 2020 G25.
If you look on my Instagram there is a picture of me standing next to the wave and a short video so you can see the wave. It's next to the picture of me standing on the tower.

Thank's for the videos and pics! I envy your job/lifestyle a little after watching though lol. Did you just do 400lbs of PNP in the rear lockers? If so did you have it added from the factory and does it take up the whole rear locker storage? What are the fill times like?Originally posted by GatorBaitWake View Post
Thank YouComment

Hahaha yeah I get that a lot. I just did the PNP myself. Just 400 lbs on each side. It takes up the bottom part of the storage but you can still fit plenty of vests and ropes on top of the bags. It only takes another 2 minutes to fill the bags. And the G25 is easy because it's so long that you don't need to add any weight up front.Comment

Any chance you could post a pic of the locker with the 400lb bag full?Originally posted by GatorBaitWake View PostComment

Yes I will try to get you one today. But it fits perfectly! When it's full there is like 1" of space on each side and the top just touches the bottom of the bracing for the transom seats.Comment

If you could post a picture that would be awesome! Also, did you buy the bags and hoses/pumps all in one bundle and how difficult was the installation?Originally posted by GatorBaitWake View PostComment

Hey guys sorry this took me so long but I wanted to make sure to get everything sorted out... I had to switch to smaller (240lbs) bags because I was laying my vests on top of the 400lbs bags and they would not dry. They were completely water logged. So I switched to the 240's and now I can stand up the vests. Yes the wave is slightly smaller but still plenty big enough for my customers and even me to enjoy.
I also had to disconnect my rear ballast pressure sensors because they kept kicking off the pumps so I couldn't fill the bags.
I used the factory overflow fitting in the floor to go into the bag and then from the bag to the check valve and then out the side of the boat.
I had to use a 45 to come out of the top of the bag to get the proper angle for when the bag is full and when it's empty.Attached FilesComment
