    Its with the platform off, but I dont use all 26 feet because I have some stuff up against that wall that takes away some space. I have the swing away tongue also.

      Got it. So if you didn't have the stuff against the wall, you would have plenty of space, right? I would imagine with the boat all the way to the rear of the storage, no platform and tongue swung, you would have roughly 2 1/2' of space in the front of the boat before the door in your 26' space?

        Not the same comparison, but we switched from a Pro Air, same overall lenght, but DD, so even less room than a 210. No remorse for us, WAY more room, and storage.
        Wake width is very similar to the SAN 210 (both old and '07+ hull), shape is mellower as BK described, but I prefer it for my old knees! For me the stock 230 wake is great, I have a FLY HI add on primarily for surfing, but I have had a couple guys ride it full, and they were both impressed with the wake.

          Is it possible you are referring to my black 230? I did mention something about going back to the old 210 in my thread.

          Let me elaborate a little.

          First off, I decided to keep the 230.

          I primarily wakeboard. The 210 and 230 wakes are quite different. The 210 is much steeper. Add an extra 3k and its unreal. (that’s what I was used to) I have yet to match the 210s wake with my 230. I have had right around 3500lbs(750s in the lockers, 750 on the floor, and 660 under the nose. plus stock) and 4 people in the 230. The wake is massive but it’s a totally different shape that I have still not been able to get used to. Sounds silly I know, But I don’t believe my issues are common among others. I did not surf much behind the 210, so I do not know much about how it performs. The 230 with 750 in the locker is is great. But still don’t surf much. All this aside is did decided to keep the boat. I am planning on playing with new weight configurations soon. I have lots of extra bags laying around and I’m determined to find something that works for me...


          If you were indeed referring to my post about going back to my old 210. I wouldn't pay me any mind. I'm 23 years old. My payment is more the all of my monthly expenses combined. Thats why i was thinking about downsizing.

            Yeah, that was the thread, thanks for elaborating. I'm going to look at a couple and take it from there. I've been on the fence about upgrading, the ability to add NSS at some point will be now probably seal the deal for me.
