Upgrading tower on 2020 G23 Super Air Nautique

[Greg Dardis]

I recently purchased a 2020 G23. The previous owner ordered the boat with no bimini. I think we will want the shade, and I really like the look of the newer G23's with the updated towers. Couple questions for anyone that might know the answers:
1. How much would it be to add a black bimini to this standard tower? Any websites or info on how to order would be appreciated.
2. Can I add a telescopic power tower with the bimini to this 2020 model - similar to the new 2023 models? If so, any idea how much that would run?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and guidance!

The retractable tower could possibly be added, but it would be BIG dollars to do it -- probably more than $12,000. Parts alone are VERY expensive, and then there's the installation.

Adding a factory bimini to your existing tower is easy.

You may need to call them, but NautiqueParts can easily get the bimini for that boat.

I was at $14,000 for a standard G tower delivered to the door. Another $2k for the R&R, and 3 months to get here.
Insurance claim, long story, trying to remove the thought of it from all the boxes in my head.
I would swap boats to a telescope, you will never recoup the cost. Same reason I haven't added a thruster, it will be on the next boat, and a power tower.
Let us know what you find out please...
