Nautique G23 Paragon

[rdlangston13]

They are only making 49 of these. They are pumping the price based on exclusivity and low volume. Frankly, I'd be pretty shocked if they sell all 49. Who is going to pay that price for a G23 with some gaudy additions? Who would pay that for a 23 foot wake boat?

The Houston dealer sold one already and the salesman said Natique had 25 customer orders within the first hour of being able to order...

I agree and think they will sell.

They have all the marketing data on what they are selling now and what could be sold in the future based on that price-point.

We have the G23s and G25s around Knoxville, so I'm sure sooner or later a few will show up. So that leaves 47.

As long as people keep buying $265k boats, boat prices will keep rising whether they are worth the price or not.

Great point, I refuse to buy one. That is until I win the lottery.

Yep, downturns the stock or housing market will put a chill on the boat market.
When jobs slow down and banks are get stingy with money, things change.

^^ this, and it's probably time for another market correction. boat pricing has gotten way outta hand. that you can't shop any of the premium boat builders anymore for under pushing 110k it's pretty ridiculous and mid60's to start up to 100k for value lines is just as silly.

food for thought. in 4 years from 2015 to 2019 base sa400 no options no add ons increased 28% in price. not picking on supra as I know all of them are just as high or higher and some options are now standard but that's a pretty healthy increase when inflation is up single digits.
onlyinboards(has to have some killer marketing data) shows 350 2019 model year boats with prices listed. it's over 1200 if you omit pricing(probably some duplication or ads that have already sold). 2/3 of them are over 90k and 1/3 are over 120k.
that tells me that either value boats are selling quickly and no need to list or dealers are ordering more premium boats due to margins and overall sales.

Pavatti has been doing it for a while

Pavati has proven there is a market for $250k+ wake boats so it makes sense for Nautique to try and and get a piece of that market share.

I believe my favorite feature is the telescoping tower.

I expect safety issues with the rear transom seats both in occupant containment and the breathing air. A lot of risk. What other boats have occupants sitting on the transom?

The Mastercraft X22/24 has seats right there.

I believe it. I’ve heard N3 in Indy has a few orders come in the last day or two as well.

I think it’s sick looking, would definitely take it over the Malibu M240.

The paragon is impressive!!

7400# boat weight is insane, definitely going to need a 3/4 ton to tow that boat.

Target audience is going to have a multi million dollar lake home anyways.
