    Help with buying new 230

    Yo, been lurking for some time and now need some insight/feedback. Have a great local dealer that owes me one and is going the extra mile to make it right. They have quoted me what I think is a really good price on a 2019 SAN 230. My question is not whether or not it's actually a good price, because that has too many variables and not really fair tho the dealer. But rather I'd like some feedback on buying new...

    1. Family of 5, 3 pretty young kiddos. Think sit and ski and tubing mainly (for now)
    2. Dad and mom will surf 80% of the time and also do some wakeboarding
    3. Have always wanted a Nautique (dream boat)
    4. What questions do I need to ask? What do you wish you had done before you bought a new Nautique 230?

    I guess it's pretty open ended but just looking for any guidance that y'all have. Trying to be as wise as possible before pulling the trigger.

    Thanks!

    Best advice I can give you is if your kids don’t gravitate over to surfing and wakeboarding, this is not a boat to ski behind, especially if they are young. You would be better off with a GS model IMHO

          Like GMLIII said, not the best skier, at 15-17 or so (the speed you'd have kids ski) unless you're using a 75 ft rope, they'll be drowning in spray. Also, the only things that you want to find (if you aren't ordering) is the color and the motor you want.. oh and surf select, everything else can literally be added. I've added phender pros, a ladder, docking and underwater lights, M6 speakers (you can't get those from the factory except on the G boat) and adding the transom remote..

          I'd love to feel this boat with an H6
