new boat questions

[Nauti 210]

Well the time has come for me to upgrade from my beloved '02 210TE. I'm kinda torn on what to do and would appreciate any insight you guys might have. I'm looking at 2013+ models and really don't want to break the 85K mark. I'm open to 210's, 230's and G21's and would like to stay below 200 hours. Those of you with 210's and 230s do you find yourself wanting the extra storage the G's have? If i did splurge and go with a G21 i'd more than likely have to wait till winter when prices start dropping to get one in my price range, which is ok with me. I would just like to hear some opinions on what you guys think the best bet would be. My crew is normally 5-10 people, we surf 75% of the time and board 25%. I've had my 210 for 13 years and i feel like I've just outgrown it, so I'm really leaning towards the 230 or G21. Whatever i end up with i'll more than likely be keeping for a long time, so i want to make sure and get what fits me best. Thanks!

The only real reason to not get the 210 is crew size and it seems you've answered that. There are some real nice deals floating around on 2013 and 2014 230's. We work out of a lake house so storage is the least of our concerns. All great choices but you know your use requirements better than anyone. Feel comfortable knowing I don't think you can make a wrong choice. Any will be a great upgrade.

Might be tight on space with a G21 and your regular crew.

We have a 2014 230 and we love it.

That's kinda what is making me lean 230. More space and I feel I can get a fairly decent deal on one. The subfloor ballast is appealing on the G's though.

Sbelcheff, did you change out the rear bags on your 230?

I have a 2016 230 and can tell you after this weekend I am so happy I didn't get the 210. When researching I thought the 210 would be fine (basically I wanted the price to work) but my wife thought I would be miserable with a 21 foot boat. Last weekend I had 10 in my boat and it was comfortable....outside of 4 people telling you how to drive. I cant speak to the G series but I can tell you my 230 is fantastic.

I think the 230 is an underrated boat.... More room in the G yes, but the lines of the 230 are timeless. imo

I have a 2014 210 and feel cramped with 8 people.
I think you could get a VERY low hr 2014 230 for your price range and be very happy.
I am also looking at the G boats, but man its hard to justify it with how good the 210 and 230 are.

I have a 2016 230 with 25 hrs on it I would sell for 96K US. It has the H5 in it and I pretty much loaded up. I know it is more than what you said you want to spend but I thought I would throw it out there for you. Let me know if your interested and I can send you some pics. The boat is in Canada.
