Nautigue G25......only $203,869

[SHEP]

When did these boats pass the $200k mark? Man, that's a ton of cash for a ski/wakeboard boat. :eek

Nice rig though.

I saw a Fourwinns over 100k at the boat show with that versed Volvo drive...:eek

Like what is going on with these builders and the prices on these boats. It is really outrageous

 

[Dettom]

Thats about 190,000 more than it's worth in my view.

 

[SHEP]

I'm not knocking the boat, different strokes for different folks. For $200,000 you can get a boat that'll easy hit 150mph or you can get this rig and do 10 backflips behind it. Both are nice in their own way.......just very pricey.

I guarantee you that 95% of the people that own these can't do 1 back flip. The reason they can ask 200K is because people are willing to pay it.

 

[RodnJen]

I agree, really cool boat just probably not my kind of boating. I wonder what it's like to ski behind one of those without the tanks full? Is it just for wakeboarding or is it a good ski boat as well?

 

[Backlash]

I would venture to guess the wake is pretty tall so it wouldn't be the ideal ski boat. You could ski behind it but I doubt you would make all the buoys.

I've never been in a G25, but have skied behind several wakeboats and the wake for slalom skiing isn't great. Direct drive tournament boats are much, much better (obviously). Best wake I've ever skied was behind an 18' Sanger flat with an OB, wake was FLAT.

I really like those Sangers. The first/only tournament boat I skied behind was a Nautique around 1990 or so. I couldn't believe what a huge difference it made.

 

[Englewood]

Seems to be about as much value as a new Schiada with much less features for a similar price. (Let the lynching begin)

 

[Flying_Lavey]

I don't understand how they can justify the 200k for a production boat. There are options, sure. But it's not like the owners are custom designing the boats.

It looks really nice though and I know is has a bunch of tech in it, but 200k...... come on!

 

[TPC]

Ya take a real beating on the resale of a Wake board boat if you bought it new.
Plenty of people ask crazy prices, in the end they usually settle for book value minus condition.

Our WB boats go out showroom condition and we still take a hit.

It's a tow boat, not a gold plated tug.

I found on a semi displacement wake board hull, it has a hull speed and more power and prop does very to little change that.
You talk speed to the dealer when ordering, they answer in Towboat.

Handling sux at low speeds, they don't back up for crap and only a fool pays new prices for a used boat.
Most owners take good care of them.
Go used, go semi displacement.

yes. The tournament boats are way better tow boats. I skied behind one of the first Brendellas and fell in love, but bought a Hondo sprint vdrive instead. Logged alot of turns behind that. You should have seen the looks of disgust I got from the tournament boat crowd when my wife pulled me through the ski course at Don Pedro.

 

[Boat Bling]

It's amazing what the new wake boats are fetching but people are still lined up to buy them, especially the Nautique G series. That said, nobody is paying over $200k for even a loaded G25.

We were at the AZ Wakesurf Open last weekend and the stories were pretty nuts though.

The factory is a couple months out on new builds and dealers are actively pursuing owners of low hour used boats to sell to waiting buyers.

Not saying the boat the thread is about this, but some boat builders are using old ski boat hulls and re-branding them as Wakeboard boats.
Sometimes they throw a plow or some kinda hardware on the back of a flat bottom ski boat to kick up a wake.
The dedicated designed hulls for wakeboarding boats are far different from a ski boat we learned from our shopping, testing and buying.
Semi displacement or planing hull are a big difference.

 

[dread Pirate]

Sick boat and my family loves wake boarding and wakesurfing, but,,, A used X-45 would only set you back $75k or less. That's a lot of $ left for fuel and houseboat rentals.

 

[rvrrun]

When we were looking last year, we had a deal for $165k OTD on s G25. That's when we decided to buy a used boat and a river pad instead. Yes, it's a ton of money, but look at the boat compared to other wake boats. I'm not saying it's justified, but the G was much nicer than the comparable Malibu.

 

[TCHB]

In 1987 we bought a new Sanger 21 tournament ski boat for $18000 out the door with our choice of colors.
Engine package was a Mercury 350.

That was our primary boat on the Parker strip for 14 years. When we first bought it people thought it was big for a ski boat.

 

[thetub]

at least it has a triple axle trailer

That thing is a freakin tank, looks about as good as one too, in my opinion of course. An no, I dont have a tower on my slalom boat. :cool

Lol sad but true. Nothing against schiada because if I had 200 I'd be looking at ordering a new 24. But 90% of people buying boats want something that the whole family will enjoy. Obviously these boats are not fast but other than that they are miles ahead. Stereo interior etc.

I'm a diehard Hallett owner but if I look at boats such as the 210, 255, 270 nothing has changed except for motor technology and that they cost more lol

Edit: to be clear I wouldn't be buying this boat at 100k new lol.

 

[28Eliminator]

Heated seats?... :rotflmao:

 

[pkbullet]

We have a master craft x-23 and a dcb m29. I would miss the m-29, but could not be without the wakeboard boat. The amount of hours we spend playing with it make it the best money we have ever spent at the lake. Most mournings are 3-4 hours of boarding before breakfast. I will agree that they are not the best slalom boats, but at 45 I'm not the skier I use to be.

There's not enough water in the Butte to stretch the legs on your DCB anyway.
That place is a pond now.
All you see are wake board boats there anymore.

So true... I love watching the faces of guys in big roll bar boats when my 65 year old buddy throws a nice invert on his hydrofoil right off their bows of their monster boats. Priceless watching their GF's point as Santa goes skiing by behind a 94 Nautique!

I got hammered a bunch of years back after going out on a new mastercraft x45 and saying how pimp it was...

These new wakeboard boats are so far ahead technology/rigging wise when compared to the average "west coast custom"boat it's not even funny....lol

Someone thinks a 200K 21' schiada is a good deal but somehow one of these with 100x the equipment is a rip off?:eek

I'm not buying either but the new loaded wakeboard boats are bad ass!

We get similar looks when we pull up to the slalom course at Naci. Yet my uncle's Lavey Sebring with a 200 Merc on it produces about a 2 to 3" wake. Quiet literally less than most all the tournament boats. But, then have perfect pass and don't get yanked side to side by the skier nearly as much.

We haven't been to the Butte in 10 yrs. We boat at Possum Kingdom in Texas since 2006. You can have a house right on the water with your own dock. It is totally worth the 8hr drive. If I could only fine a way to live there full time.

If I lived ON a lake with my own dock then this would be in the stable. I have seen these up close and they are so freaking massive. I don't think it would fit in my garage, even with a collapsible tower.

He just said its rated for 19 people, that's a 25 footer.

There's a nautique dealer 5 minutes from us... But as stated above, if I was living on a lake it would definitely be one to consider.

I just can't justify that amount for the 3-4 trips we make a year.

[LargeOrangeFont]

My coworker just bought a new 23' Mastercraft, it was $176K. It is pretty bad ass. I think it is about as overpriced as any other boat though.

He had a 15 year old Ultra 23XS that he recently redid the interior, converted to walk through open bow, added a wake tower and a 3000 watt stereo. He has no regrets so far.

 

[SJP]

- just bought a 2014 used G23 (I cheaped out). The boat is awesome. I water ski but you are not doing it behind this boat with any kind of style. You need to run ballast on them for them to operate. They are freaking awesome to hangout and do wake sports on. Gotta say I love the infloor cooler. Sea Deck is killer. The interior, lighting, storage, seats, quality, sound awesome / great family boating expierence. All around it is a really fun boat. I had Ricky @ Maxed Out scour the country and I caught a break. I could sell it right now but my boys would hate me...

On a serious note I would never want to own one of these as my only boat. There would be countless others @ a much less price tag to own if you had to limit. They will not clear an 8 ft door with the tower down either... :grumble:

You can get a sick Malibu 25LSV for for 75K less. Just saying....

In all seriousness, the G is a great boat. The prices of some of these get insane. Malibu brought out the M in 2016, it was selling at the 180k mark as a 23' boat. If they bring out a M25 I'm sure it will be at that price point.

Aside from the wake technology the G is in a different class than the Malibu. Those were the two we looked at and the Malibu is very nice, had we never looked at the G it would be a great boat. The extra 75k in the G is well worth it if you can afford it.

x2.
I've been at the Nautique factory and there's no detail that's overlooked. They know what they're doing ... and they know how to charge for for this expertise.

If you're actually going to Wakeboard behind a G, I'd get a G23.

 

[ka0tyk]

our friends have a g23. before that a centurion, etc. their daughter competes in wakesurf championships and does extremely well. so for all those saying "i bet they cant even do upside down helicopters behind it..." yes some can.

shes #1 of course...

their "old" centurion

"old" tige

still not my cup of tea... then again i dont think id ever have a $200k boat. i think going 150mph would be fun, id rather have a nice hallett 255 and be done with it.

 

[bunkrepair]

I think the prices of these things are out of control only good thing for me is that as there prices go up my boat holds more value in the used market whenever I go to sell mine!

She's definitely a 5%er and the reason they put some of these features in these boats. If I could afford one, I'd probably have one.

 

[AZRiverRunner]

Rigging looks like shit. If they think they can sell a $200k boat, they need to up their game in this area for sure! I hate the 60's-70's brown seats too. Out here, they will be heated, with our without electricity. Reminds me of my dad's old '68 Glasspar's seats.
