ck, did you decide? I thought I read somewhere (or maybe a rumor) that Andy Mapple went to the 206; which means it has its merits. ER

Hey, if its good for Andy Mapple, it should be good enough for me LOL. But seriously, I think we'd outgrow a 206 within the next few years. I'd love to have one just for the handling and slalom wake.

I think we're leaning towards the 211. We're going to the KC boat show this evening to look.

On the 88...it all depends on the deal they would give me on trade. Otherwise, I'll just sell it myself.

This is true. I have seen it on his lift behind his house. He still has a 196 as well. I talked to Andy a few weeks ago, and he said that the wake behind the 206 is different than the 196, but still very good. He said that the 196 is the best boat ever made for skiing and has set a very high bar. He said that the 206 is great - especially if you need a bit more room.

OK - I've decided not to decide. Looked at the 211 and loved it. Great storage and I liked the layout.

Then that giant sucking sound came from the 236. Muuuuuuch bigger boat with more features.

When we were leaving - actually they were turning the lights off on us I snapped a few pictures, so here you go.

236.... 236.... 236.... 236....

[ckstephens]

I know.

Just don't have anywhere to store it. I'm sure I wouldn't have a hard time finding any "volunteers".

Has anyone skiied behind one?

Hey Jeff - what did they tell you the lead time was?

[NautiqueJeff]

Well, mine is supposed to be here April 30, so that makes it about three months.

I would trade my 211 for a 236 at the drop of a hat...I would love the extra size....I really want the bigger size (not to mention the different prop direction)...

[WilliamWallace]

Different prop direction? How far down the "I need this" list does that show up? Is that before or after the cup holder placement in the stern seating area?
