The new G23 is almost done and thanks to a good friend who pulled some strings, I got a special little signature on my dash! Got a face time call today too from Steve Carlton (who designed the G23) and Shaun Murray himself! Then they sent this little video of Shaun autographing my boat!

Did you chose an option to have a signature or just good buddies of somebody there?

Murray is the best man......I love that guy. He is truly one of the faces of the sport that has lasted a lifetime. He's all about the love of the sport. I have been fortunate enough to get some of his lessons and meet him and ride with him on several occasions. Always a great time.

No, I just have a friend (who actually works for Nautiques competition...shhhhhh), who used to work for Nautique that know's these guys personally and he hooked me up! The entire experience has really been outstanding!

Murray is one of the nicest guys I've met in any sport.. just a good dude all around.

I met Shaun at a Hyperlite demo day put on by Tommy's Slalom Shop once. I figured he'd just be there in the background or something. I haven't seen many famous people and those I have seen always had security to keep them separate from the little people. Instead Shaun just came up to me and helped me pick out a board to try like he was just a salesman at the ski shop. It was a Murray of course. Then he drove the boat and helped me out with some pointers. Later on about 20 people piled into a boat that was made for 8 and he put on a show going bigger than I'd ever seen in person. An amazing day and a great guy.

"G". That's actually my boat...not Eric's! I don't have many other pics yet. That was just a video they had sent me. Thank you though for the compliment!

And yes they are really going to dremel it and fill it back in so that its permanent.

Sweet. Congrats man!!

^^^^. I knew something was fishy!!! A flaming liberal like Eric would never have a boat like that!!!!

Anyways Brett the complement still stands no matter who owns it Great job on the color combination. I hope it has the teak colored sea deck as well

Post up some more pictures as soon as you get them

That's just the staging trailer....My trailer is on it's way. Mine is all black with diamond plate step plates and 18" wheels that match my truck's wheels.
