Beautiful boats. With the black white and red boat, what is going on with the picture that has middle bench seat facing forward. Is the back rest off center for a reason? I don't mean to call attention if its a flaw, but I'm curious if there is a reason for a new design concept.

[gride300]

it goes both ways judging from the pics. also, that's what she said.

I think the mindset was that the back of the drivers seat was the back support for the bench seat. Does anyone know if a 210 ever came with a bench seat similar to that? Has anyone used a removable bench seat other than the standard jump seat that you can get made/factory/etc?

this is one of the points that i have always argued was a major flaw with the 230 when comparing it to the 220...the driver's seat intersects the bench seat lean back, and you effectively lose comfortable seating only allowing one person to lean back on the bench. when it is facing forward (and i use mine forward all of the time, especially during winter), then a portion of the leanback is lost behind the drivers seat. i can seat two people comfortably there on my 220, and only one on my 230...other than that, definitley pretty boats!

Does Nautique offer the jump seat that sits between the driver's seat and the obeserver's seat, or just the one pictured above?

Nice boats, not digging the tower!!

I wonder if they have to pay Malibu royalties on that fugly tower. Used to be the other way around....

[gride300]

agreed about the tower. it works on the 226, but it just doesn't work with the shape of the windshield on the 230 IMO.

Here are some additional 2011 Nautiques that are for sale at Century Marine.

i love the carpet options...almost as much as i love running my boats carpetless hahahaha...almost enough to make me switch!

the 210 looks normal to me...its the illusion trailer on 20s with stainless fenders that goes bling!

I saw a new 230 and 210 at Dockside last night. Both were beautiful boats, and to be honest the tower isnt bad in person. I guess I dont get hung up on the esthetic stuff like some people, so to me the added fold down capability far outweighs having a few extra jogs in the design like last years tower.
