The 226 will give you more room in the cabin and more storage space. The wake is wider with more of a "transition" at the lip of the wake. The 210 has been a very dominant player in the wakeboard market. The interior isn't as large, the wakes are narrower and their is a very nice lip at the top of the wake to send you up higher into the air. The 226 comes with more ballast than the 210 but it is also a bigger boat.
You can't go wrong with the warranty on the CC boats. No one comes close to it. The dependability of the boats is awesome. Both CC and PCM recieved the JD Powers Award last year.

This is just a guess about the bigger boats being used. I think they are doing it to promote sales of their bigger boats and to give the riders something new. Again it is just a guess. Hope this helps you out!

I never test drove the malibu or the CC 226 but I can tell you that the CC 210 drives somewhat better than any wakeboard MC. All CC boats tend to stay planted in the water better when turning than most any other ski boat.

I personally think that there are enough differences between any of the good wakeboard boats besides the the actual wake. Buy the boat you like the best for what ever reason. Do not worry about getting the best wake unless you are a pro rider.

Do not ignore dealer service and warranty, which is where CC really is the best, hands down.

Good luck!

Thank you for good information.

[hiro]

I decided to make it 210 or 226.
Then, although it is a question, is there any place which something changed by 04-05?
Or can information be seen by web?
There is no dealer in Japan now.
therefore, you -- please give advice.

Thank you for your advice.

Biggest change from '04-'05 is the tower.

You can read all the changes HERE.

you can also get a closed cooling system on the excalibur. I don't remember that as an option in 2004.

Get either of the Nautiques and you will have the best boay money can buy.Durability? Correct Craft is the best.Resale? Correct Craft.Company support? Correct Craft.On-line support? Correct Craft.

[hiro]

YES！I buy either 210 or 226.
As for me, the direction of 226 has interest.

Hi from Canada. I own a 210 team addition but have driven and boarded behind the 226. Because the 210 is a smaller boat you can get a bigger wake from it then the 226 with the same amount of ballast in both boats. That is to say the wake with 2000 lbs of ballast in both boats will be much larger in the 210. The 226 is an extremely solid boat to drive and handle in rough water more so then the 210. The 210 has a much steeper wake for big air and crazy aerials. The 226 has a nice rampy wake so it is probably easeir to learn on but if you want to go high get the 210. The 210 is the cooler boat in my opinion. The 226 however can be used for great slalom skiing if you ever do that. If you need the room and have lots of people in the boat then the 226 would be better. If gas is a small consideration the 210 gives you better gas mileage (gas is super expensive over there?). There you go! I would get a CC if you can afford it as it is super high quality. You can have lots of fun with the other brands and they are less expensive but if you have lots of cash go CC. CC will give you the least amount of problems if you don't have a CC dealer in Japan.

Where can you wakeboard in Japan? I have done many triathlons there and really love the Japanese culture. Best of luck dude!

if i may ask, why not a 211 ? the size is larger than a 210 and smaller than a 226.
