Super good price! The 550 motor and 1:48:1 gearbox is the perfect combo mechanically in my book. You have about $8k of gel coat color upgrades as well (hull bottom, interior, flake, platform). This one shouldn't last long!

thedude, just curious about your comparison basis for the 550/1.48 setup. I think you've had a couple G's, are you currently in a H6/2:1 setup?

My current '17 G23 has a 550 with the 2:1 trans. This boat has been "de-propped" to reduce rpms at wakeboard speeds (3,600rpm now at wake speed). Out of the box with the standard 17x17 prop, the boat ran 3900 -4000rpm which is just not necessary and increases fuel consumption. I always ride at 22.5mph, full stock ballast, 3-4 people in the boat, 1000' elevation. Previous boat was a '15 with 450 motor, 2:1 trans, and 17x17 prop. This was a good combo, with good time to plane, but ran at 3900-4100 rpm depending on people and amount of fuel in the boat. I like to keep engine rpm at or below 3,600rpm at wake speeds, the '15 and earlier 550 with 1:48 trans and stock props allowed for this right out of the box (I have a buddy with this combo, we split rides). I keep accurate fuel logs, the 450 with 2:1 trans used about 6.5 gph. My current '17 G23 uses 7.3 gph on average which I'm ok with given the extra power. My routine is the same; little to no cruising and surfing, no tubing or full throttle runs. Nautique needs to offer a different prop to the new 550 buyers. I do not have experience with the '16+ direct injected H6 motor yet, I don't imagine it would be much different than the 450 with 2:1 trans.

bottom line - This is an awesome boat the OP is selling!
