Nautique Super air 210 or Malibu MLX21

[Brad25]

We are ordering our first boat in the next couple of days. We need to go with a 21’ due to towing limitations. I know this is a Nautique forum but we really like both boats. Any honest opinions are appreciated, both boats are similarly priced and are 2021 models. How many people can you comfortably fit in the 210? Thanks for any help

I friend of mine has a 2010 210. Not much has changed since then from a seating and storage perspective. We were able to ride with 7 reasonably. That was probably as many people as I would want to take out for the day in that boat.

I have a 210 and yeah, it's an older design and won't have as much storage nor capacity as a newer boat such as the MLX. If you have a major concern about seating capacity I'd think the Malibu would likely get the nod. Not only does it have higher advertised capacity but it also has the larger bow area. I'm sure others will pipe in but the respective dealers should probably be a consideration. Especially with a new boat you'll want to make sure you're comfortable working with them.

Thank you the dealers for both boats have been awesome. I appreciate your feedback.
