Sorry team cringing as I'm writing this

Not to beat a dead horse, but, the 210 and 230 are VERY different hulls, even though the interior looks similar. The 230 will surf WAY better than a 210.
Regarding the "no call" I've had that same situation with a local dealer, my wife was actually saying "huh?" Bad day, guy over capacity...Hopefully you'll regain your....Nautique...
enjoy that area, beautiful in the summer, and the lakes are awesome!

You beat me to it. The 230 is an AWESOME surf boat with PLENTY of freeboard. I've never taken one over the bow and we run HEAVY. Crad, enjoy the mashed potato setter. You'll have to get used to riding a roller instead of a wave with an actual lip. That said, I'm sure you got a good deal on a closeout or used model. Rest assured, you'll be back from the dark side before you know it. We'll consider this a "cloudy time" for you when you went off the reservation and welcome you when you return to your senses. LOL Enjoy the new boat. Malibu though??? What about Supra? That's where I'd be looking if Nautique starts going sideways any more than they have.

...and the carpet...!!! Ugh!

At least they did away with the carpet in the 2018 23lsv. But I would have a hard time paying $90-$95k on a boat that had carpeting under the seats still. They are the ONLY manufacturer that still does that.

No kidding! and calling the 230 wave washed out compared to a 210 makes absolutely no sense at all the 230 was the flagship for 4 years for a reason, in fact as far as surfing goes ive heard from many of people they prefer a heavily weighted 230 surf wave over a g23 . I may be biased but I can say from owning multiple 210s my 230 absolutely surfs better, ive got mine weighted up and the wave is crazy good on both sides.
The 23lsv do surf pretty well I will admit, however they are better on the goofy side without a doubt! and its a mellow wave with not much of a lip.... 230 will out surf it all day long....

I am out of the loop. How has Nautique gone sideways?

Crad - good luck with the new boat. Hope we still see you here on PN.
Lets see some pics!

I've had a couple of boats and spent time around them and not all of the cost is profit. The engines, trans, props, and assoc equip all come from the same place but the fit and quality are different.

Good luck, enjoy your new boat! A 7 year larger, heavier better equipped boat should surf better.

That might be a tiny exaggeration on my part. Just read the threads on this forum from this year so far. Electronics mostly.
