How about a G with Ram Fill?

I highly doubt it's related to any collaboration with centurion/supreme. Any additions with that product lineup would take at least a year of testing.

Someone I know speculated that maybe it is a more affordable G series, hence the little "g" highlighted in "game changer".

Could be that they're finally going to kill off the 210 and 230 and replace them with a different lineup of more affordable boats. I'm sure that 210 and 230 sales have not been good since the full G lineup has been out.

game changer, game changer, game changer.

Hey, it isn't my campaign. As old as it is getting, the G's have been wildly successful.... whether it be because of it or despite of it.
Old     (tn_rider)      Join Date: Dec 2009       07-01-2015, 10:31 AM Reply   
My bet. An updated hull on the g series as well as an interior change. Tower change? Possibly diesel?

Except that waterfront diesel is almost non existent on smaller inland lakes.

True, and a good reason. How many people only use marina fuel though? Not saying it should be the only option, just an option.

Slightly improved surf system......wrist band controlled wave settings for rider to control....New stereo vendor....new graphics.....updated engine options.....built in "gas money" cup......dice on the mirror.......

I think Chase is on the right track.. new/updated hull, interior change (new pattern, maybe new captains chair) and hopefully getting rid of the bungees on the board racks!

i think you'll find that there are a lot of people that live on lakes and own G's. Hard to say the percentage that only but fuel on the water, but I believe that for AT LEAST 30% of potential owners, this would be a no-go.

Maybe I'll be wrong...

I would certainly hope they're not touting "Game Changer" for a minor update.

I also question the fact that they would update the hull already. Hull molds are VERY expensive to create and that's why you see most boat companies running the same hull for 5-6 years before updating. The G came out in 2012. No way that they are going to do any significant hull change in 3 years. Way too costly.

The existing G-series will likely not get any hull changes.

The back rest of the seats and captains chair need to be the focus. I like majority of the boat but not the most comfortable interior in my eyes... And the game changer is that they are now selling at $99,999.00!!!

G19 that has G23 wake, seats 14 people, solar powered, for $30K. That would be a gamechanger.

Well the most obvious change they wrote on the invitation! Check 10pm to midnight. "The JL Audio Experience" last time I checked Nautique dealt exclusively with Polk and Roswell. So who invited JL to the party...

That is Epics program, but because of JJ's 2014 Epic 23v being delivered all thrashed, and the hundreds of dollars that Epic is slowly leaking out to help him get his brand new boat running, that electric/diesel project is on hold

I really hope its not an electric or diesel wake boat..that would be a letdown.

Competition in the Axis/NXT market would be my preference but I don't get that impression from the way the teaser is written.

The little g is significant...

Redesigned G boat for sure.

Bigger hull for bigger wake perhaps? G27 for snowboard type air? That remains to be seen


Nautique has no reason for a budget friendly boat, especially with the addition of Supreme and Centurion

If you aren't getting the live feed, don't worry. Listening to non-technical people describe technical features is....well....lets call it not ideal....

Surf control, app for pebble watch, JL audio and new PCM engines. "Game Changer"....

As a Nautique fan, I'm a bit embarrassed.

As a Nautique that was embarrassing and awkward, nothing really game changing about being the next in line to introduce a surf watch. Thing still cost as much a starter home in most parts of the country. Good thing is my 2003 SAN will continue to hold it's value since no budget line was introduced.

Tough crowd...

New hull, new interior, new helm, new audio, new engines and the stupid surf crossover button.

Changing a couple of 3 year old boats that are already at the top of the heap is pretty innovative. They listened to the gripes and made it better.

Gamechanger? No, but that's just a stupid marketing term.

Should of just called it Gchanger and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

1. Anyone can change a hull
2. Malibu already has the Total command center (knob)
3. Tige and Malibu already have the surf swapmeet band, watch, controller
4. Stereo system is nothing special, just overpriced I'm sure
5. Interior looks a little better, but not changing anyones game. However I do like the colors that they introduced with the different shades of brown.

Not to the shape of it, thankfully! The 550s now have a 2:1 tranny and bigger props. One of the team riders has been testing that tranny for quite some time now in his 2013, and it sounds like you can get another 1k of ballast in them...making the wake even more insanely big. Add another 500 pounds of dry weight and it should only be better. I'm guessing ACME will develop an even more aggressive prop than what they do for OEM, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're able to move 2k of extra ballast than what we can in my 2014 with a 550.

Can't wait!

You couldn't have changed the game less if you tried. I wasn't expecting much and I'm actually surprised it was much less than I thought. " game changer" directly translates to: over hyped don't bother getting your hopes up, we couldn't think of anything new this year.

1) Anyone can.. but .. well. "All new but same running surface" is just the cheap way to sell it as a new design.

2) Malibu had a lot of different Dashes in the past years, until they found something that worked. And a touchscreen need some buttons for special funktions because of the feedback. And i think the knob on the Malibu and Nautique have different aproach. Malibus knob is for special functions, Nautiques knob is a alternative way to controll the System? Am i wrong here?

3) Your kidding with Malibu? Tigé yes - but Malibu, how many days before Nautique? 3 or 4 days?

Not sure what your saying. All my statements are true.

Yes The G is still my top choice of boats but they didn't change anyone's game.
