BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 27 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
24 priced listings across 12 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (39 raw listings collapsed to 27 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 2013–2023, 12 states, 15 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Pricing is tight: the middle half of listings sits between $110,000 and $135,000, only a 1.2x spread. A boat asking well outside that band needs a reason, and "it is loaded" is usually not enough of one.
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
1 federal recall campaign on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

The 12 most recently seen of 12 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
Nautique recalls and accident record
Of 89Nautique boats in USCG accident records: fire or explosion 3%, flooding or swamping 11%, capsizing 3%, total loss 8%, at least one death 5%. Accident records reflect how and how much boats are used, not only how they are built. Only accidents above the USCG reporting threshold are recorded. Personal watercraft are left out.
These numbers are for the builder, not this model. Check the specific hull with a HIN lookup for recalls and reported accidents.
Recalls affecting Nautique
1 federal recall campaign on file. Recalls are issued against hull-identification ranges, so a campaign listed here may or may not cover the specific boat you are looking at — check the HIN. Remedies are free from the builder, but only if the work was actually performed, and there is no central database that proves it was.

Engines we actually see on the G23
- MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L)
The most common inboard/outboard in US bowriders and cruisers. The engine itself (GM-based) is reliable; the maintenance burden is the drive and exhaust. Bellows, gimbal bearing, U-joints, and — in any saltwater service — exhaust manifolds and risers are the recurring costs.
Service reality: Bellows/gimbal every ~5 years; manifolds/risers every ~6–8 years (or 3–4 in salt) at $2.5–4K. Pull the drive on inspection — deferred drive service is the classic hidden cost.
Full MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L) reliability profile →
- PCM / Indmar ski-wake inboard (GM-based)
Direct-drive / V-drive GM-based inboards in MasterCraft, Malibu, Nautique, and Tige. Reliable powerplants; the risk in a wake boat is the ballast/surf system and hard wakesurf-RPM use, not the engine block. A documented, regularly-serviced wake boat is a safe engine bet.
Service reality: Impeller, transmission fluid, and V-drive oil on schedule. The engine usually outlives the boat's electronics — focus the inspection on ballast pumps and surf actuators.

What to inspect on a used Nautique G23
- MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L): Bellows/gimbal every ~5 years; manifolds/risers every ~6–8 years (or 3–4 in salt) at $2.5–4K. Pull the drive on inspection — deferred drive service is the classic hidden cost. Seen on 2 of the 27 G23 listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 100 hours a year is heavy use for a MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L).
- PCM / Indmar ski-wake inboard (GM-based): Impeller, transmission fluid, and V-drive oil on schedule. The engine usually outlives the boat's electronics — focus the inspection on ballast pumps and surf actuators. Seen on 2 of the 27 G23 listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 120 hours a year is heavy use for a PCM / Indmar ski-wake inboard (GM-based). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for PCM / Indmar ski-wake inboard (GM-based).

What a G23 costs to own
$3,500 – $9,000 per year
- 23 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Freshwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (MN)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
