Size Matters 210 or 230

[lucky7t]

Had many 210's and 4-5 people is it for me. If you exceed that number it gets uncomfortable

I have a friend who has a 230 and the 230 is wider resulting in a larger cockpit. Definitely noticeable when compared to a 210. Nice even with a smaller crew as no one is stepping over each other as they move around in the boat.

I'm with lucky, especially the older 210's... Moved from an 05 210 to a 230... Night and day, no comparison. Obviously it depends on how you use the boat and your location. Here in Az it was 118 last weekend, we had 6 adults, vinyl too hot to touch, no one would sit in the bow out of the shade, in the old boat we would have practically been sitting on each other's laps. Not to mention the 3 wakesurfers that don't fit in racks, 2 wakeboards, 2 ice chests, 3 women's bags, towels, and anither bag with camera gear. Without the bow, this crew would have been uncomfortable in the 210, very thankful for the 230. On a private lake with just 3 of us though my 210 was a better boat. Figure out what your needs are and choosing should be fairly easy.

How did we ever survive before the v drive?

I stay go for the 230. I do not think you will ever say you wish you had a smaller boat and the 230 can easily handle 10 to 12 people comfortably. We were easily crowded in and ran out of storage in my old 210 even as few as 6 on board. Maybe the newer 210 have more room though. I went from an 06 210 to a 13 230 and couldn't be happier, well if I could afford a G then maybe. Tons more room and it handles better in my opinion. It also does just as well on fuel consumption which is very good. I was worried about the wake seeing how a lot folks say it's very finicky, but have got it figured out and love it.

My studies show pre-2014 210 has essentially the same main cabin interior as the G21 (flip forward rear seat section, etc), and the 210 has essentially the same running surface through the latest couple or three generations, although another step has been added as beam widened. 210 running surface is essentially flat (minus dropped keel) where 230 hull has a V that carries thru to transom... affects wake/wave characteristics. 6-8 adults on 210's has been plenty full. 2012 and newer can run NSS. I think it was NautiqueJeff that recently posted a spreadsheet of model specs across multiple years (dimensions, weights, etc).

Rarely will I have more than 4 adults. 4 adults and 2-3 kids at best. However, the kids seem to grow and take more space quickly.

230! Don't look back! Enjoy!

230 without a doubt.
