2023 Nautique G23 PARAGON W/TRL

A 2023 Super Air Nautique G23 Paragon, stock #4977, and it comes with its trailer. This is the boat that sits at the very top of the wake world, and buying a two-year-old one with the trailer already sorted is the intelligent way to get into it.

Paragon is a distinct model rather than a trim level. It rides on a heavier hull with faceted topsides and a running surface engineered specifically to displace more water, which is why it weighs 7,750 lbs dry. That mass is the whole reason the wave is what it is: heavier boat, deeper displacement, longer and more pushy wave. The surf wave is fully configurable, and the wakeboard wake is equally serious, so it genuinely suits every age and skill level aboard.

Power is PCM's ZZ8, built on the most powerful General Motors base engine offered for production, combining direct injection and supercharging. For 2023 Nautique also offered the Yanmar 8LV diesel delivering 595 lb-ft of torque as an alternative. Either way, there is more than enough grunt to lift a fully ballasted Paragon onto plane and pull a rider up without hesitation.

The helm is the best in the business. Dual LINC Panoray displays let you read critical information on the left screen while adjusting settings on the right, and the Helm Command rotary dial sits on the armrest directly above the throttle so you can scroll menus without leaning forward or taking a hand off the wheel. Rider profiles are stored, so each person's wave, speed, and ballast return with one selection.

Small touches signal what this boat costs: the LED docking light arrays integrated into the bow above and below the rub rail work as docking lights and daytime running lights, and they are one of the Paragon's visual signatures.

Why this is the right boat: if surfing is the sport in your household and you want the best wave available without waiting on a build, a 2023 Paragon with a trailer, 16-person capacity, and 65.6 gallons aboard is the answer. The trailer matters more than people expect, because it means the boat is not tied to one lake.

It is here at Kelly's Port in Osage Beach, family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977. We can store it, service it, and put you behind it with your own riders to dial the wave in. Call 573.348.3888 about stock #4977.
