Potential purchase: 2012 Team edition 230

[jshack01]

I have the same color scheme/graphic on my 2012 230 TE. This is my first SANTE and I absolutely love it. We purchased the Z5 top after we owned the boat for a couple of weeks. It made a huge difference to me. Of course going from a 1989 Ebbtide 3.0L IO to this might distort my view . Nonetheless, everytime I think about this boat I smile.

On the LINC brightness. I had to actually throw a towel over it coming back from a fireworks display as it was so bright it was distorting my ability to see anything via moonlight. I did adjust it as low as it would go and it was still throwing off a lot of light. I've had no issues seeing the display during the day.

you wont regret it. the 230 is amazing. i have put 250 hours on since april in MN.
i installed an overflow kit so i dont have to fill any extra bags, everything is under the cushions.
throws an awesome wake for boarding and surfing.
only wish is to have deeper storage, but not worth buying a different boat for

I have a 2011 230 great surf wake. You will love it!!

grnking - i don't want to hijack the thread, but what is your surf setup? in addition to the stock ballast, i have a 750lb sac in the rear locker, 600lb nose sac, & 600 arrow sac in the locker next to the drivers seat. i fill all bags (except non-surf side) and set zero off at 10.8. good wake, but didn't look as good as your's. only thought is we are not in deep water (8-12 foot). thanks, dhill

The depth has a lot to do with the size of the wave. We notice a difference when we drop to less than 10 feet. As for my set up. I removed the stock tank on port side. Put a 1100 sack (piggyback would work but with the shape of stock tank it was work to empty. ). A 400 long sack under port passenger and if no riders a 350 sack next to amp in front. surf gate at 2 and 10.9 mph.

Btw I am going to sell it this fall if you know anyone who might be interested.
