There is hardly any other type of boat that is as specialised and sophisticated as the wakeboard boat, and certainly none where - strictly speaking - it is not so much about the boat itself, but about what it is pulling behind it: The wake. It has to have a clean edge and plenty of "pop". This is achieved primarily through the shape of the hull and lots of fine details on the underwater hull.
In this area, the wakeboarding specialists from Nautique Boats in the US sunshine state of Florida is now launching the next generation. Instead of taking existing, successful models as a basis, as is often the case, they have designed a completely new boat for the Super Air Nautique G23 on "a blank sheet of paper".
The underwater hull has a specially developed surface, the "Nautique Configurable Running Surface", which can be adjusted to all conditions using the electronic LINC system. Almost 2,500 kg of internal ballast also helps to create the "perfect wave"; the necessary thrust is provided by built-in inboard engines with outputs between 343 and 550 hp.
But even above the waterline, the 7.01 metre-long special sports boat should meet the expectations of the scene in terms of individual style, ergonomic comfort, functionality and, of course, the possible additional equipment from the tower to the sound system.
A total of 16 people are permitted on board, who will find plenty of comfortably upholstered seating in the bow area and cockpit of the bowrider. The interior and exterior colour scheme and finish of this model can of course also be customised to make your own Super Air Nautique G23 unmistakable.
