    2013 - 2015 G23, anything specific to look for?

    Hello everyone! I am finally going to pull the trigger on my first G (good timing right?). Anyways, I want to spend $100k or less so that limits me to older boats, usually with higher hours. Other than the obvious, is there anything I should look out for that would be easy to miss? Good questions to ask? I am calling Nautique with the HID to get past warranty and service records FYI.

    I might be headed to look at a '14 G23 supercharged w/ 290 hrs in a couple of days. That's low hours for how old it is, only ~40hrs/yr.

    I appreciate the help!

    I had that same boat. No systemic issues. That 550hp engine is incredible.

    do a 1-2hr test drive and test every single function on the boat.

    go for it!

      That boat sold before I could go see it. So now I’m on my way to check out / buy a 2016 G21 with the H5. I gave the HID to nautique and they’ve been very helpful sharing the history of the boat and letting me know I can have the prop shaft replaced once I get it.

        Check to make sure the ballasts fill properly and that the ballast sensors are not shot. Faulty ballast sensors are a common problem with G series boats during those years.
