Super Air Nautique G25 Review

Nautique wakeboard boats have built a global reputation for innovation and design excellence. On the strength of groundbreaking boats like the Super Air Nautique G25, it’s little wonder they’ve been adopted as the official towboats in national and international competitions around the world.

Representing the pinnacle of Nautique’s wake boat design, the Super Air Nautique G25 puts all of the company’s high-tech innovation in one remarkable boat. That includes design features like the Nautique Surf System with Waveplate, which keeps the boat evenly weighted and allows the operator to switch the wave from one side of the boat to the other in seconds, and without the need to offload ballast and people. With its ability to accommodate up to 2,850 pounds of sub-floor internal ballast, the G25 is capable of delivering a broad range of wakes, all providing the clean lip, long transitions and solid pop appreciated by wakeboarders of any skill level.

The G25 stern seat faces forward while underway, or can be slid forward and reversed to provide rear-facing accommodation for two.

Nautique’s attention to detail encompasses more than just good wakes. Wrap-around bow seating provides plenty of space to kick back and enjoy the sun. The rear-facing observer’s seat in the main cockpit flips up to reveal an enormous storage compartment in the port-side console, that’s perfect for storing wakeboards. There’s more storage in the seat bases, plus another wakeboard-sized locker in the transom. Nautique even provides a dedicated rope locker, where expensive tow ropes can dry properly without becoming tangled.

Additional board storage inside the passenger console allows the G25 to accommodate a surprising amount of gear.

Perhaps the most interesting cockpit feature is the fully reversible transom seat, which faces forward while underway. When its time to break out the boards, the entire seat slides forward and the seat back flips ahead to create a rear-facing lounger that’s perhaps the best seat in the house.

Overhead, Nautique’s flight control tower offers further board storage on drying racks, plus four rear-facing speakers to keep boarders in the groove. An in-floor cooler keeps cold drinks at hand.

A fully digital dash offers pinpoint control of engine functions, wake management, ballast and even the stereo.

In recognition of its 90th anniversary, Nautique is offering a number of new options for the Super Air Nautique G25 in 2015. These include an available fiberglass table, underwater lighting, new wide-angle wake mirror, rotating tow point with a GoPro camera mount, new metal flake colours, heated seat for the driver and observer, and new stereo system.

Like all Nautique tow boats, the Super Air Nautique G25 comes with a range of PCM engines. New for 2015, a new electronic shift transmission offers shift-by-wire performance eliminating the need for cables and providing more precise operation.
