Ordering a ‘19 GS22 and need input

[kylant]

bringing this thread up again. Curious what OP ended up with.
I am getting close to ordering my '19.
I tested my 20 at sea level after demoing a 230. Same motor, same prop (Acme 1235)
The boats performed identically. So I now know the elevation kills the ZR4. I will be getting an H6 for sure. I am at 6300ft.
The GS22s with the ZR4 the dealer has in stock all have the 1235 prop. I don't know if the H6 gets a different one.

I am debating on my gel color scheme. Masters blue metal flake with black accent or Admiral blue metal flake with accent?
Thoughts?

I like the masters blue.

I prefer the Admiral Blue over the Masters Blue

We are close to pulling the trigger. We will be in a ‘19 gs22 and the H6 is a must for us @5050’. I believe the 1235 is still the standard prop but will verify in the next couple weeks. My dealer has a build slot with a late Oct confirmation date and they really want us to take that slot. It sounds like all of the factories are cranking these boats out as fast as they can. Just one of the reasons we are switching to Nautique (QC). Have to nail down the options and see just how much I want to spend. We are going Tungsten hull, tungsten upper deck, tungsten tower, black chromax and mystic white for all other exterior options. Still working on the interior.



kylant I would go with Masters blue if you are planning a black accent. The Admiral blue and black look pretty close when not in direct sun.

So excited to be a Nautique owner again. Here is our build sheet with an Oct. 22 final deadline. Still not sure when she will come home but hoping to make a trip to FL about the time she is being built.

Pulling the trigger on mine as well. Order goes in tomorrow. Taking my boat down so they can sell it. Pumped

I am on my 3rd prop. Extensive conversations with ACME. I think I have my boat propped as good as it will get. The ZR4 takes a while to pull me out on a ski. It takes a while to get up to wakeboard speed with just stock ballast.
The torque curve on the ZR4 is mellow then really ramps up. The best way I can describe it is similar to turbo lag on a diesel truck. slow until the turbo spools up, then takes off.

The H5 and H6 have much better torque curves and are direct injected. They perform much better. I would do the H6 if you are at 5000ft.

Do the stereo from the beginning. I just had mine upgraded to the MX. added bow speakers, sub, amp, and '18 JL head unit. I thought about a second set of tower speakers, but the middle speakers reduce head clearance dramatically.

Do you have a gs20 or 22? I’m getting a 22 with lead need to know prop you’ve honed in on

Very nice!

Kyant, I meant to ask how deep is your garage? I see your GS20 fits in there. thanks.

I have a 20, 1873 (i think) was used most of the summer. wanted more bottom end. sent it back and ACME is recupping it to a 2079 spec

my garage is short, my boat does not fit in there. I just had it in my parents garage.

you need 23' to get the 20 on a Boatmate swing away tongue trailer in there (with platform off)

Great thanks.

This is one of the reasons we are going with the standard boatmate trailer. I have a 25' garage and was concerned with fit. The gs22 at my dealer has a standard boatmate swing tongue and measures at 24' 1" with platform on. The tongue swings in to be even with the bow. Our '14 A22 was 2" longer with tongue folded and platform on and I had just enough room to close the door, with a couple inches to spare in the rear and about 6" with the trailer lowered all the way down. I am going to build a wall mount for the platform for winter months.

Congrats!!! Now lets see how far apart our build slots are.
