08 SAN 230 Center Factory Tank

[tennfly2]

Hi, I purchased a 08 SAN 230 in Feb, and wanting to add the center arrow sac and rear sacs from wakemakers. I called wakemakers today, and they said that center arrow sac will fit with the u-shaped factory tank and that the 230 may have either the u-shaped or straight line center tank. From searching past topics, I thought all the 08 230s were the same factory set up. My boat is in storage an hour and half away, and I would rather not have to go see what I type of factory center tank I have. So, does the center arrow sac fit or do I need to go check out the factory tank?

It should have the U shaped tank. That's what my '08 230 had and the arrow sac worked perfectly. I would remove the factory hard tanks in the rear and go with 1100lb sacs. You won't regret it. Then get a wake shaper if you don't have any sort of surf system. Our wave was killer -- so good that I'm hoping our new (to us) '16 will be as good with some extra ballast in the lockers.

I have a 08 230 in my drive right now, so I'm happy to get measurements if you need it. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking but i have something like this piggybacked onto the center tank. It doesn't look like there is one specifically for the 230 anymore. It fits under the bow seats.

Thanks! How hard was it to remove the rear tanks? From reading, it seems that removing the rear tanks is the best option. I'll have to look into more.

Mine are piggybacked, was like it when I bought it. There is so much storage anyway, I don't think I've ever thought they needed pulled. IIRC i have 750s on top of factory.

Extremely easy. And once they're out you'll have even more storage room, of course only until you fill those bad boys with water. It also makes servicing the engine easier. You will need Wakemakers panel reinforcement kit.

Don't forget to upgrade your Zero Off to the new style antenna and software or else your boat will porpoise going down the lake with that extra weight at wakeboard speeds. Also a 1235 prop is a nice prop upgrade with the extra weight.

As said above, remove the rear tanks (takes 20 min per side max) and replace with 1100lb bags.
