Nautique Releases New "Paragon"

Have you seen that Back to the Future where doc had to rebuild the time machine computer out of vacuum tubes on a piece of plywood bolted to the hood of the Delorean? That's what those boats will look like in 15 years. And like we show folks how to retrofit a Protec throttle body EFI with a mechanical distributor and a Holly carb, well have a set of dash switches and dials or something to make one of those things run. And I'll probably still be running my 93 with 2000 hours on it.

Nautique doesn't make any model that I can afford anymore . I own 5 boats now all paid for . Only 1 even has a computer . I question the direction they are taking with a 130k ski boat and now a 265k surf ship. It will interesting to see what they will be worth in 10 years when half of the electronics don't work and are not supported by the company anymore?

Defiantly ugly! I also thought MC started the ugly boat era?

I wonder for 265K if you still get the break away prop shaft!

Well, I reviewed the Video, I suspect this new boat is in the $175,000+ range so I can't afford it. Just looking at the features it is set up really well.   
The wake it kicks out would probably swamp my Nautique and certainly destroy any thought of finding ski water.
You have to respect the engineering and effort to cater to those Surf and wakeboard riders.
I did pick up they also included a rope tie so they could pull the occational tube or skier.
We are now an afterthought!
It woud be a fun boat to take the whole family and about 10 friends along for a play day.
I bet the gas burn is around 15 gallons per hour tops.

I know a lot of people here care very little about the G23 and such, but this IS a Correct Craft forum after all. They released a new model called the G23 Paragon and it's listed on the website at an eye-watering $265k. Rumors are it's a very limited production model. I know, I know, you could have like, all the beater 2001's on Earth for $265k. Hell, you could buy most of the original Paragons, if they came up for sale!

The walkthrough video is pretty amazing. I was hoping it would have mahogany top decks and teak floors, but you know, that wasn't going to happen.

I kind of have the same opinion of this one as I do of EVERY big new wake boat, but I can't say that it wouldn't be a nice place to spend a day. I still wouldn't buy one even if I had the money.
