Just took delivery of our new GS22.

Awesome! Classic colors right there.. Post another full shot of the side view when you can. Beautiful boat...

I did the absolute worst job documenting with pictures. I was in shell shock. Just kinda sat there and took it all in. Was a beautiful day and was more impressed with the boat in person. Had it delivered to our lakehouse and just sat in the driveway for a few hours taking it all in. Great day. I did take a picture of the hours 0.0hrs. Never seen that before?

Awesome! Looks great! Let's see some more pics! How did you already get registration numbers? I'm still waiting to hear from DNR what my registration numbers will be so I can order a set.

My dealer got the registration and numbers installed for me prior to delivery. I usually get pretty picky on the numbers but he did a good job so they'll stay for now. I did notice the registration expires in June of this year so it must be some sort of sort term registration until I renew it. Dealer did not charge me anything for registration.

I'm actually surprised at that. My dealer will NOT deliver a new boat until they have gone through a full water test. Most of them are delivered with 3-5 hours on them.

The hours don't show on initial power up - you have to hit the start button twice to get the hours.

That explains it!! I know it was test run at the factory so there had to some time. I was curious that maybe they reset it after water test. But you explained it!! Thanks MikeC

Thanks HVL2010. We went very basic on colors and I was very stressed about how it might look. But have to say I love the look. Thanks

Put the first 5 hours on the boat this past weekend. My wife, and our 2 sons did some wakeboarding and surfing. My son in this pictures is 6'1" 205 lbs and was able to surf with stock settings without rope easily. He is not an experienced surfer. He is an experienced wakeboarder though. Our previous boat was an 05 MC xstar. So coming from a highly touted wakeboard wake his impressions were 1. It has more lip than the Xstar 2. Slighly narrower across wakes so he used longer rope 3. wake was firm. All positives to him.
We have much less experience wake surfing so we would not be the best to make opinions. We have one wake surf board which is probably too small for him but he still had plenty of fun. He, as seen is on the starboard wake being L foot forward. Port wake battles a little more wash so we needed to use ballast shift for it. Only three people in boat so I'd expect better on all counts with more people. LOVE driving this boat. Cant get over how it gets out of the hole without bow rise at all. NCRS is really cool. I'll give more detailed analysis after more time with it. Just learning the boat right now.

Love the tow rig, must be harsh on the highway though... Beauty of a boat, have fun!!

Unfortunately, your pics aren't showing up.

What speed was your son surfing at? I was out on my new GS20 over the weekend and I couldn't let go of the rope in surf mode.

Not sure why the pics arent showing for you. I have had instances when pics dont show up on posts then return later and they are there. I think its a server issue with PN.
Speed was the factory preset, I think 11.2
