I'm surprised Nautique hasn't dropped the Team Edition G

[charlesml3]

To be clear, I'm referring to the non-coastal edition.

Anyway, I'm surprised Nautique is keeping it around. There really is no upside to going with the TE boat except for the additional cost for the CE. On my 2022 G, it was about $1200. You get a LOT for that money. All of the gas springs are stainless steel, semi-closed loop cooling, deck drains, etc. My dealer (White Lake Marine) doesn't order any TE boats unless the customer specifically picks it (and they'll do their best to persuade you to go with a CE).

I would have figured by now they'd just consolidate all of it into the CE and be done with it. Reduces inventory and simplifies the build process.

I agree. I always order Coastal Package boats even though they rarely see salt while I own them. For the slight upcharge, why not?

[charlesml3]

Agreed and I did the same thing. My G won't leave Lake Gaston as long as I own it. Anyway, I keep expecting Nautique to drop the TE but it hangs around. I wonder how many other dealers only order CE for the same reasons we outlined above.

charlesml3 When I got my 2017 G23. It was the first Coastal Edition my dealer had ordered for anyone. That may not be the case anymore since the popularity of that edition has increased in recent years.
