wake on 210 and 211

[rpw757]

looking to get either a 210 or 211 and would like to hear how the wake is on the 211. I know the 04 and earlier SAN 210 wake is great but how is the 211. I plan on filling it up with weight. 1 problem is i need the tower that is on the 211 to fit in my garage because the steepness of my driveway. But some of the 03-04 210's have the same tower. I also really like the walkthrough I hate having to walk on the seats however the wake is still very important. If any body has any info it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can't compare the wakeboarding wake (I ski), but the walk-thru is FANTASTIC! Didn't care about having a walk-thru until I had one...

As for fitting in your garage, I have 7' doors and mine squeaks in with the jack all the way down and utilizing the slight grade on my driveway. Don't think I'd be able to get it in hooked to the truck or without the slant to my driveway.

210 wake is clearly better for wakeboarding, but 211 is certainly functional for most people. 211 is functional for skiing, 210 ain't. If you're solely in to wakeboarding I'd try to make a 210 work.

There is no doubt there is no other wake than than the wall of a 210. It pops like no other. However, when weighted properly a 211 can produce a fantastic wake that is more rampy/less abrupt than the 210. I tow alot of great riders and they all are fond of the wake behind my 07 211 Team.

As for the walk thru, this was the feature that made my wife want the 211 and it's just plain awesome. It gets used all the time and makes things so easy. Swimers going back and forth, loading tube riders, etc. Originally I was concerned that there would be less storage but what I have learned is that the storage is more convient. It's nice to be able to reach over, open the walk way lid and pull out what you need without having to climb out onto the rear deck and dig for what your after.

Other things to consider. You lose one person capacity with the 211 due to less seats with the walk thru. The rear "removable" seat is nice, but not strong enough. Several of us have had issues with them.
