    G23 performance vs. SAN 210 or 230

    Does anyone have any input about how a G23 drives compared to a 210 or 230? I test drove a G23 this weekend and I am close to pulling the trigger on it. I have owned 7 Nautiques and love the way they drive but the G23 had a completely different feel to how it drives. No question, it has an awesome wake. However, it did seem to be more sensitive to side to side weight than the 210 is. Any input from other G23 owners would be appreciated.

    I have driven both a G23 and 230. The 230 I thought was actually more sensitive then the G23. Anyway, the 230 is like a sports car how it drives it is really quick and responsive, while the G23 is kinda like a Full size Suv; a bit slower and takes a little longer to plane. But hey what do you expect the weight differences are pretty big. They are very hard to compare. Hope this helped a little bit.

          in my opinion the 210 was much more sensitive, that's why we moved up to the 230 along with other things , to us the g23 has no issue with weight sensitivity(with in reason) empty weight; will agree with Migs, but sacked out different story the g23 drives best then the 230, that's another reason we moved up from the 210.
