That is a pointy bow.

The paragon tower is badass.

I thought they were updating the SAN 230. I love Nautique, but I'm not a fan of how all their hulls look like the Paragon. I don't like the tower or all the angles on the Paragon. Just my two cents.

Do you like the aesthetics or functionality of the tower? I think the functionality is cool, but I just think it looks ugly.

Honestly, I think it looks pretty sharp. Good price point as well... kind of fits in the middle of their lineup well. Probably would land right in between a loaded 23' Moomba and 23' Supra price wise. I'd bet performance is on par or close to the G23, just a bit less flashy.

Interesting.
I like the pointy bow look, reminds me of an old school runabout.
I don't really love the paragon tower, very cool but not a fan of how it looks, too blocky and large for the boat IMO.

Interesting from Nautique, looks to be somewhat of a low-mid level boat (based on stereo etc) but I can't get the builder to load to see what the cost comes to with some options.

Well they managed to make a once awesome looking boat into one of the ugliest. That tower may be functional but it looks terrible. I can now say i would rather have a Mastercraft tower and that ain't easy to say. And the blunt nose on the boat is hideous. Looks like a mini van with mags to me. Terrible terrible terrible. Looks like someone carved a boat out of a solid block of wood and used lego's for the tower. In fact it reminds me of a lego kit.

I think this is a great looking boat with great gelcoat lines and you can option this boat up to darn near a G23 level. I actually like the gelcoat lines better than the G23 if you play with the build tool.

This boat will be a great seller for them and take some business from Malibu and the LSV people for sure.

The only thing that would be a deal breaker for me is the 100" beam on it. Why not make it 102" ??

Assume you're talking about the optional telescoping tower? If so, I agree. I prefer the base tower on all their boats.
