@Fman - Mine was 206k MSRP, but I didn’t do the 7.4l. It would have been about  212k if I had. Other than that, it’s fully loaded, and about 8k is color options (hull color, 4 flake sections, deck color). I was going to skip doing a power tower and dockstar, but then ended up just checking every box except 7.4 and SS package.

 

edit- no fancy trailer either. Just a regular TA, and only options were a ramp-n-clamp, spare tire, and transom tie downs.

Loving the wave videos I'm seeing of that surf wave. Xstar , And the G25 were the 2 boat show boats that caught my eye this year

I surfed the 17 g25 with stock and “some lead” and I thought its wave with only 5 including driver to be inefficient , i.e. the extra two feet over the G23 same event didn’t make it a better wave though I loved the g25 NSS transfers as usual , buddies 13’ g23 hull with the wind spray and “lesser” surf hull without rear improvements using stock sacs and people or not was better thsn both.  The M with the big bow sac 6 adults and smaller rears was SICK AND SURFED great st s faster speed than I’m used to and top 3 with Wolfman’s 17 24 mxz and the centurion ri257 with just ramfill (I think but I could be wrong ) snd a crowd 

surfed I believe an 2017 18? x23 for short time in fall at a contest loaded down with all event surfers (me and wife 6? kids, 4 male  contest official adults ) and it was pretty good   Very much steep slab style wave , pulled a 3 and a transfer, could be longer with more nose weight but it wasn’t really that short as I pumped recovered easily from fading back on the three

just saw a G25 up close and was amazed how large it was, i just cant understand how the surf wave isnt killer? is it just too flat for that size of boat? looked awesome/huge but just odd its surf reviews are not great. and for the price one would think it should be great. i'm sure it also drives like a giant pig as well. it does look like a monster on the trailer though..

I think the major thing with the G25 is that it needs more than the stock 2850 out of the box. Too much hull to sink, especially with how flat they run in the water. Another 1000lbs makes a big difference in them.

Numbers look great @RCorsa! So on the factory match, are the numbers outlined with metal? And the fill more of a textured finish or smooth? Just curios on how they match the factory emblems because I think this is the way I am going to go as well.

I think the reason the g25 is not as good is because the boat doesnt weigh much more than the g23. And being flatter like you said.  It prolly needs 6k total ballast for it to be fulfilling its potential.  A lot of square footage requires a lot of ballast to sink it.

The numbers are not true metal.   Mostly a metal look with black outline.   They are still smooth plastic material as the rest of them on the website.

My 25lsv weighs less than a G23, but deeper draft, guess the shape makes a huge difference
