2024 G23 Upgrade Rumors?

[FireBreathingRubberDucky]

It doesn't seem like there's been as much chatter about new boats this year. Any guesses what we'll see for 2024 updates to the G23? At some point I'm guessing they go to dual screens in the G23 and redesign the Paragon. It would be nice if they changed up some of the gel coat color combination options. Supra has my favorite gel coat schemes.

Aside from the obvious, I'm thinking we might see an electric swim deck that lowers and elevates at the push of a button, air conditioning, hydrogen powered engine and retractable hard top cover that fully pressurizes the cabin when you go into dive mode. They will also give us a 10% price reduction LOL!

I'd guess the Paragon would be the one to get an update, especially since it hasn't been changed really much at all in the last 4 years. I doubt the G series will get much of an update.

Paragon update is my guess as well for major changes. It’s going to be hard to improve on the hull design from a performance standpoint. However, there are some aesthetic changes I feel that could be made to improve the look, without changing the running surface. There are some minor adjustments I feel could be made to improve some surf features. Leave my wakeboard wake alone though, because I love it. My guess with the G series will still get dual screens at some point.

Since nobody seems to have any additional ideas or recommendations, I'll add that I hope they integrate the thruster as a twist handle option on the throttle. It's very intuitive and most other manufacturers are going to this.

I would love to see a difference in the hull side like they did from 14/15 to 16. Id assume we wont see anything really changed until the 100th anniversary.

I would agree with all the aforementioned except the 10% reduction in price.

A simple/more practical change I'd also like to see is integration of the thruster in/on the throttle...such as a knob that twist, similar to Mastercraft and Supra.

I'm pretty sure MasterCraft patented the twist knob throttle for operating the thruster. Nautique probably doesn't want to pay MasterCraft a royalty.

Supra's stern thruster system is also integrate into the throttle?

Yeah, I've noticed the smaller boat companies seem more willing to license other boat companies patents. Or maybe because Nautique and MasterCraft are such major competitors they won't license their patents to each other.
