It's finally here! - 2011 SANTE 230 Coastal

[DJH]

After 7 boatless weeks (sold my 196 to Crad in the beginning of March) the wait is finally over - we took delivery of our 2011 230 on Friday afternoon and I was foiling behind it 18 hours later. We started looking in earnest at the 2011 boat shows and hoped to find a 2010 leftover... The dealer offered us his 2011 demo at a good price and we went for it. We weren't looking for a Coastal Edition (I'll venture that being in Kansas, this is the most inland one out there!) but given the real possibity that we'll someday be back on either the East or West coast it was a convenient option.

The most ironic bit is I've had the 2011 230 wallpaper on my PC for the last 6 months and people kept asking "Is that your boat?". I kept telling them no... little did I know we'd end up with one just like it.

DJH - Congrats. I still haven't driven your old boat, but I did wax it this weekend.

You are going to love that 230. Nice looking package.

Nice!!

Very nice. I see you're in Kansas. Where do you typically ride? Did you pick her up at the Ozarks?

Nice Boat!

I am frequently on Blue Springs on Friday afternoons - it's a bit busy but not crazy like it can get on the weekends. On Saturday or Sunday our lake of choice is Pomona... remote enough and big enough that even on busy weekends you've got space and it seems that even on the most windy days you can find good water somewhere.

We bought from Osage Yacht Company in Lake Ozark - they were great to work with.

Where do you typically go?

Lake preference

We are at Pomme De Terre. It's about two hours away. I can usually find good water to ride in. Throughout the season, I take her to Garnett Kansas for INT events. I know Pomona well. I spent most of my summers there when I was growing up. I agree, nice place to ride. We bought ours at Performance Marine (formerly Skier's Wharf Extreme) at the Ozarks as well.

Domed Numbers
