My buddy has a G23 as well. It’s a beautiful boat, but the wave is nothing to write home about. Mind you he is running stock underfloor ballast and 500lb of lead and that’s it. The rear lockers could take some big old bags, but for whatever reason he won’t do it.
So as it sits it’s OK, but again, nothing spectacular. My other buddies MXZ22 puts it to shame. That power wedge is awesome. Instant ballast simulation without any waiting time or need for bags and shit. But that boat stickers for twice what my Craz did.

I don't know, the wave we had yesterday was amazing. My first run the wave seemed like it had a long flat spot right behind the boat. She said, "you want it steeper?" Pushed a button and bam, perfect wave. And only half ballast.
Compared to a Malibu - they burn less than 6 gal/hr in the G. I'll bet the Malibu burns double that with the wedge. That's a lot of $$$ every time out.
But again, a $195k boat vs my $50k boat? Yeah I can't justify that.
I have 2 buddies with 2019 23 LSVs...the wave is great! It is not any bigger or better than my SL, but the ridiculous bow rise in a Malibu and the fact that the boat only turns one direction because the surf tab is sticking straight out the side of the boat...oh and there is no storage in a Malibu at all because of the plug in plays and the hard tank in the bow.
I’ve got a buddy with a 18 g23... wave is stupid good at the flick of a switch. No extra ballast, all stock. In fact it’s too steep for some riders so we have to dial it back actually.
Not worth $100k variance, but i have dibs on his boat when he sells it :)
Had a trip to Page AZ yesterday... little town right on the AZ side of lake Powell. Holy crap it’s fu@#%^g gorgeous here. Took a trip down to the dam, pretty cool place. It’s a mini Hoover Dam. Lol
What I wouldn’t give for clean clear water like this in SE Texas. One day I’m doing a house boat rental for a week and bringing the SA.

still waitin for ya to spend a day on mead ;)
had a guy from northern canada here last friday off another forum and he was amazed at the 100deg day and 80deg water temps. he had not been on a lake as large as mead and spent a good part of the day gawking.
we are still dialing in our wave so I don't think he was so impressed with that but spending a day on any water is a good waste of 7 hrs.
those pics are fantastic. I could retire in page pretty easy..
