Best Surf Wake 220, 226, 230?

[Gary_93_Sport]

Hi all!,
I currently has a 93 Sport Nautique and can get a good goofy(starboard) surf wake with some ballast and a few people. The wakeboard wake is just fine for me. I'm looking to upgrade to boat for more room(vdrive), more storage, internal ballast, and a really good surf wake. I want to step up my surfing game and get some arerials!

I would like the a boat with an equalivant sized wakeboard wake...18 to 20mph. - I'm not wakeboarding much now, but others still board.

I would like a very good surf wake without alot of extra ballast. I ride goofy, but others are regular foot. I'm good with hidden sacs, but want to avoid sacs on the floor or on the seats if possible. But a good wake would come first in that tradeoff.

Choices are: '03-'07 226, 220, or '07-'08 230.

Priority is:
1) Surf wake - goofy(starboard) side mainly...suitable for aerails.
2) Wakeboard wake at 18 to 20mph.
3) Minimal exposed sacs for a very good surf wake.

Thanks for your input!

This is my 09' 230 Surf wave. Note: Full starboard full belly ballast, and about 500# of lead on the surf side. That's all. And this is rough water.

I can only comment on the 220, but the surf wake is great both sides, but if you're primarily looking for a goofy wake, best to look for an '06 for the prop rotation that favors that side.
Plenty of room to completely hide all ballast too.

I don't think you'll be happy with the wakeboard wake at 18-20mph though.
I find the 220 likes speed, 23.5mph is the slowest I have been able to go and get a nice clean wake.
