Hit up the Houston Boat show to drool over all the new 2020s...

even took a peek at the Paragon, it's sick, just not $265K sick

I bet that paragon was well over $300k, absolutely gorgeous boat.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt was a stunner, I really dig the sharp faceted design language that starts with the hull and echoes throughout the interior.

Some of the neatest things were relatively simple too...like the wake pylon that swivels and has a GoPro mount on top so it follows the rider.

I don’t know if they’ll be good used....It will be like an Ri257 —there’s a 2 year old one locally with very low hours, but it’s still $140,000. It’s a pretty rough pill to swallow to pay huge money for a 2 year old boat. You can buy that 2018 Centurion or buy a a 2020 Supra SL for the same money.

Hard to take that used boat in that case.

As an aside I think the Paragon is incredible!

Thanks for your pics, Like i said on FB I'm kicking around an upgrade (or is it a downgrade in size?) this year. I basically have 2 more weeks to decide. I'm real interested in a Black Cherry or Midnight Blue flake with the rest all dark graphite Kaiyen. the black cherry with Honey interior or midnight blue with all light graphite interior. Although I'm in love with the Kayen design from a technical standpoint, I've yet to fall in love with a gel scheme like I did with my Craz.

That Makai Pic is Eclipse Black, right?

Yessir.

I think either black cherry over black or midnight blue over graphite would look awesome.

I was there! Unfortunately I found out instantly that I'm not ready to pay more for the smaller Kaiyen. Like as soon as I stepped foot in it. It didn't help that it was sitting next to a Craz for instant comparison...

Not ready to pony up Supra money yet either. Darn. I guess I'll keep my already awesome boat! Or something.. still going to Louisville next weekend to see the Deneys and see what shakes out!

Oh ya too tall to load and unload by myself on the days when I beat everyone out there. I’ve got a great dealer that worked it out for me from Boatmate.

Great dealer to work with and answered all our questions as well keeping us informed on the build process. Highly recommend

Oddly enough, I've dealt with them once! Something like 6 years ago, I bought a '94 Sport Nautique from a guy on Skiatook Lake, and I had them help me look it over! We ended up getting our wires crossed on date/time and they ended up going to the guy's storage space and running through the boat for me for free before I bought it sight unseen! I'd recommend them to anyone in the area after that!

I ended up cleaning up and flipping that boat for a small profit in like one month!

Nice! Yep they have been great. The more we spend out that way, the more we keep thinking about moving to the lake full time. If the right piece of land pops up we'll probably make it happen.

Back from the Birmingham boat show. Really love the redesigned SA and wished we could afford one lol. Really nice boat and man that JL Audio system freakin' SLAMS!!! Makes my Wet Sounds system sound like a tin can lol. I got to finally meet the man himself RickT (Rick Tinker). Really nice to meet you and I can see where Drew gets his laid back personality. We love our Max and you guys make a great product! Did not expect to see a Paragon there but of course had to crawl inside it. It's a really finely detailed boat but not sure it's at all worth the MASSIVE price tag Nautique wants for it!! They were discounting like $40k off and it was still well over $220k optioned lol.

SA is gorgeous and OMG that sound system is godly. 2 800’s and 1 1000 watt amps THUMP 2 12’s and many 8.8’s and 6.5’s

Sounds like SL is next up for redesign skipping the SR.

Yea when he turned it up it sounded SO good! Those 12's were hitting and it was just a full, clear and loud sound. I don't think i'd have to do a thing to the audio if I had that boat. If I could have my next boat right now it would be the new SA.

Local dealer turned SA max volume in the parking lot and holy hell, zero distortion and crystal clear.

Too loud.

The supra at the nashville show had 4 JL tower speakers along with all the other speakers. I didn't get to hear it but it looked like it would be insane. What you guys think the cost would be to have all that installed aftermarket?

I saw it but didn't get to hear. It looked impressive too. What brand they run?

[RC_Hinojosa]

Think supra has the best factory system of all the manufacturers?Probably a close second....only because I've heard really good things about the rider-centric ported JL "Wake Subs" in the Paragon.

But that is a factory system only .01% will ever get to hear.

I was hoping they would crank up the system on the Paragon so I could compare but they didn't fire it up. I couldn't hear any distortion from the Supra but when I was down at the Supremes they had some pontoons there and salesman had it cranked and sounded just awful with tons of distortion. I felt bad for the speakers in the damn thing lol. Would have liked to hear the Paragons system though.

Paragon has JL audio. I don’t think you can beat JL Audio.

Now that boat shows are here, I'm a little surprised more people are not talking about the smaller Supra model. I heard the same. It may be just pushed to the following year.

Nope! I like early retirement. Keep what I got for now. I will be able to sell mine for a little less than I paid for it. Hopefully you all make good money and your retirement plans are in place for when that day comes. A $100,000 and some boat is ridiculous in my book. Then got to have that 2500hd or whatever to pull it. I dont know.

A $100,000 and some boat is ridiculous in my book. Then got to have that 2500hd or whatever to pull it. I dont know.

Some folks many like a 10-15 year old boat that will depreciate slower than a newer boat.

Some will like the newer technology, functions, and features. And are willing spend their $ to enjoy it.

Lots of tow boats for any budget out there. Get what you want to afford and have fun.

People buying mid 250k tow boats will probably have the big lake homes, big 401k or retirement all planned out, and high-end cars. Small niche of buyers. They are not sweating the boat cost.

What, you do not like 2500s? Lots of people pulling with the 1/2 tons.
