I contacted the head of sales for Nautique and then my dealer called me that day with a delivery date of mid June. I told them that wasn't going to fly and they got it moved up to a late April completion. Supposedly this is a solid date from Nautique. Thanks for all the advice.

How did you contact the head of sales? I'm in the same boat (with almost the same boat).

Cosurfer did they say anything about a price increase? I was just informed by my dealer I have to pay $20K more than the price quoted on our build sheet last November.

I must have just snuck in right before the price increase. Sorry to hear about your price increase, that is not cool!

Nice! Glad it got figured out. October order date would be a Jan delivery based on what I have read. Not sure how October to June makes sense. Regardless…April is good!

Alan...No....based on what I was told...and my actual experience...an Oct. order date puts in at the dealer late March...early April. Not January. And that was actually the EXACT same time for my 2015 G21 and my 2021 G23. Order in mid Oct....get it after Spring Break.

We ordered late October of 2020, arrived end of March 2021.

I wonder why there is a discrepancy across the country. Does it just depend on your dealers volume/build slot availability? My experience was closer to what Alan was saying. Ordered early November and it was delivered to the dealer late January this year...

My dealer always asks me when I want the boat. Actually, I'm on my fourth so they know I don't want it until mid-April. I let them schedule in boats ahead of me for people that want them in January through March. It works out well for all of us. I ordered my current one last August and it's due at my dealer on April 11.

It depends on build slot availability more than when you order the boat. Depends what the dealer has available and is willing to give you.

Dealers have to get their stock boats in to have inventory for boat shows, plus most people don't need a boat in January, so pre-sold boats get pushed back.

TigerDog......yeah...that's a pretty quick turn-around. November to January. I didn't mind waiting a little extra on mine since it was winter.....even in Texas. We had Icetopia while my boat was being built in 2021. LOL.

Each dealer gets x amount of slots for x model boats; when you get a boat depends on dealer slot availability for that model of boat. If timing is important you should specifically and directly discuss the dealer's slot availability before you plunk down a deposit. If they have sold their slots for the year it might take a long, long time to get your boat.

I learned it also depends on how many other boats your dealer has scheduled to ship so they can put them all on one truck. I think its 3-4 boats per truck.

The boats roll in on a semi; how many depends on the models loaded, but this is generally correct. Truck availability can be an issue if there is a shortage of drivers or whatever. It is also possible that a shortage of a specific part like a tower might slow things up. But the big limiting factor is still slot availability. But once a boat gets built they will find a way to get it to the dealer.
