    Evolution of SV 211

    Researching this boat and was curious what characteristics have changed over the years and in what year did those changes take place. In particular I'm interested in the following:
    Interior layout including storage.
    Hull
    Tower
    Prop rotation
    Surfgate
    Swim step material. Teak to fiberglass or always fiberglass?
    Engine choices/options
    Trim levels. Team, Limited, etc.
    Ballast setup and weight. Including the type of filling system. Changes is pumps, etc.
    St

    Other questions I had:
    Any year any better for removing hard tanks and going to an aftermarket system?
    First year of 211?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    2004 is the first year, very thick seat pads, in 2005 they made the seats thinner so occupants would sit deeper in the hull. General interior layout is the same on all but some had the bow filler, some did not include the rear ironing board seat.
    Clarion speakers in 2004, Polk 2005 and beyond.
    poor ballast system through 2006 (flo-rite cable valves), impeller pumps after that
    prop direction changed in 2007 ish
    teak was standard in 04-07 then option beyond that
    330EX through 2007 then 343EX with drive by wire and cats beyond, ZR6 is a good option, avoid the 5.0.
    never had the surfgate, but the wakegate was a standard feature on all SV211s
    Signature Edition has a key and analog gauges but can be optioned like a team
    Limited Edition has the keyless, digital gauges, but optional ballast
    Team has keyless, full ballast, and full tower with board racks
    Steering wheel and throttle knob have options
    I believe all tanks are the same regardless of the pumps used.
