Oh and my wake boarding son loves to fish. And he said I bet the 25/30' deep V fishing boat would make a great "big wake" wake boat. Even with Outboards! Hmm...?

We have some friends that have a wake boat in Havasu... We hardly ever get to boat with them.

I get a text from them in the morning... them - what's up today? Us - We are heading up to Pirates today for lunch them - oh, ok maybe we will see you when you get back.

A day or two later... Them - what's up today, us - we are heading to the springs for lunch then hanging out at three dunes - oh, ok maybe we will see you when you get back.

The next day - them - what's up today? Us - we are going to lay low and drift out by the buoy line today and hang around the Nautical - Great we will meet you today!

They have had a home in Havasu for 30 years and have never been to Topoc or Pirates and only have been past the sand bar once or twice.

Seems like the boat has a pretty narrow window for fun - you tow somebody around in a circle or you pile 15 people in it and cruise the channel with the stereo ruining everybody else's day.

It amazes me they sell that many boats that have such a limited range.

Ordered a 2019 Nautique G23 yesterday. Scheduled to be here in March..

I sold my 24’ Centurion with all intentions of buying a deck boat.. changed my mind and started looking for a open bow Nordic. Wife vetoed all my plans and decided on another surf boat. I have a 18 month old son and a 4 year old daughter.. another surf boat is my families best option for now..

It amazes me how much wasted space is in a deck boat. The 28' Howard holds 8-9 people. The largest wake boat is 25' and almost double the capacity. I know different applications blah blah blah just seems like the performance decks waste so much space in the boat with the way the interiors are set up. Moving the driver forward and doing cocktail seating in the rear would help.

With 3 boys 5 and underni see one in our future. It will be a second boat not a primary. Will also be 10 years old because that’s more in the budget

I have a 2019 on the floor I designed similar to yours. You will love it; the Nautique is in a different league in terms of fit and finish. We were a Centurion dealer at one time.

The Nautique factory people are really accommodating and Orlando is easy to get to from literally anywhere.
I'd check and see if you can watch them build your boat....and get them to let you ride along on the test run on their lake beside the factory.
