    Long Wait Finally Over . . . keep it clean or add graphics???

    We ordered our new 230 back in February and it finally got to the dealer late last week. Went up this morning to check it out and thought I'd share a few pics:

    Didn't take her home today, though. She's staying at the dealer for some WetSounds instal and window tint. CC forgot to include the graphics with the boat . . . we had originally intended to add the "Super Air Nautique" but delete the other graphics. Now I'm wondering whether I might just keep it clean.

    everybody has their own opinions and yours is all that counts. Mine is a naked boat looks like a project boat and not a top of the line make and model. Also, keep in mind resale, though you could always add them later

    congrats on the new toy!

        If it didn't have that accent stripe, clean would look killer.

        But the strip needs something to offset it.

          Love the boat, my vote is chromax or chromax with the wing graphic.

            I think its sexy. If you need everyone one your lake to know your on a nautique you probably need to work on some security issues. I think its perfect. Its one bad A#@ boat. Leave it as is. I think I may need to work on some security issues myself now because im ridiculously jealous! Keep it like it is. Its gorgeous.

                Thanks, guys. Point well taken about personal preferences. And about resale. That's why we ordered it with the graphics just not applied--so we could always add it later or at least offer it to a perspective buyer.

                But, I think I'm leaning with RideButter and AirTool to add the chromax. But since CC forgot to ship the graphics with the boat, I'll get to live with it until the 20 hr service and really get a feel for it.

                Either way, I couldn't be happier! We did a sea trial today and I think I'm in love.

                    Don't keep it naked. It's a Nautique, it needs a name on the side. IMO

                      I definitely have to agree with that one!

                          Well, we added the RGB light rings to the Rev 10s on the tower so we can probably do a little night rider with that.

                          Also, the dealer actually did get the graphics from CC so I'm going to have them add the "Super Air Nautique." I can always take them off if it doesn't grow on me. I'll post some more pics when she's done. God I love spring!
