    New To Nautique - School me

    hey all

    looking at joining the Nautique team with a G series, looking for some rear world experience, this realm is new to me so i can read and look and do all the goodies but until some ones done it or does it - kind of moot ya know?

    got it down to two boat and would love some real world feed back and wisdom. both boats are loaded for there years with the exception of the 19 not having a thruster or the supercharged motor.

    15 g25 LSA under 300h and a 19 g23 ZZ6 just over 500h, price spread between the two is not enough to be the deciding factor.

    the G25 shows as brand new, some chrom max peeling from docking hit on a 2 letters and a few little marks in the graphics, but blends in okay from 2 feet with how busy it is and looks amazing

    the G23 is in your face beautiful, look at me bright. it shows its age more with the normal passenger side seat wear on the pipping, (looked at probably 10 boats and they all seem to have the same wear in this spot) anti skid on the step fraying(?) and its got some more battle wounds on the hull, couple good scratches on the side and a few good wacks on the front chines - I'm assuming from getting on a lift in the wind due to our location



    with being the same but different I'm going in circles with what to do here's where id love some help please

    i love all the tech in the new boat with power everything but worry about replacement/ repairs/ failures - i figure touch screen and such seem to be having issues in cars so how is it going to live on the water? we get hot here - 35*c + and we get a good afternoon wind that makes the lake snotty and a lot of fun for my other boat

    is a ZZ6 going to have enough umph if i want to add ballast down the road

    if i add ballast is it goes to be as 'bad ' on fuel as a LSA?

    Is the LSA worse on fuel (then zz6) well surfing or does it power difference allow it to work that much less

    is a g23 to small if you bring all your friends that show back up during boating season( haha)

    the g25 is HUGE and space is something your set with

    is the G25 low hour because its 'work' to use due to its size?

    does the tech make that much of a difference? - like would a average person be able to tell the difference between the Polk and JL system?

    i know every one likes the lights and the colors and all that stuff, but the meat and potatoes parts

    is one generation of Linc better or more resilient then the other?

    is the power tower on the 19 good? - i have yet to see a boat that's not a 19 with one so I'm guessing its either silly expensive or they had issues?

    what kinda of "go home" or cruise speed - i know prop pending - can i expect out of the factory set up ZZ6 with that 2:1 ratio?


    thank you in advance for the feed back, i have been digging a lot on here and will keep doing so

    I had a 2015 Ski and the throttle module was in partial failure (rev button didn't work).
    Also the audio glove box display out and no parts available.
    Cracking in the Catanium exhaust manifolds, not sure if that is an issue for the V drives?

    Therefore might lean toward a newer year. Is the G25 on a triple axle?? A lot of bulk to deal with out of the water, towing and storage etc
