First Boat Purchase: 2008 SANTE 230

[sb3504]

As well as being new to PN, we just purchased our first boat from a very good friend. It's a 2008 SANTE 230 with 151 hours. The boat is in like new condition and loaded with nearly all available options, including the 390 hp motor. I am feeling very good about the purchase and the kids are crazy excited to be on the water!

Welcome! Very sweet boat!!!! If you don't have the new updated GPS antenna you will want that to be your first upgrade! Old antenna is round.

Congrats!!! Sweet boat....I just bought the exact same boat this weekend except double the hours!!
That 390 engine sure does sound sweet doesn't it? We won't regret it for sure.

Congrats on the sweet boat and welcome to the site! That peridot green color has been my favorite Nautique color since it came out and I wish they would offer it again. It looks like the new green metal flake is a similar shade at least.

I have an 08 210. Curious why you would need to update this antenna?

Thank you. The 390hp motor does sound beast and luckily the GPS antenna has already been updated.

ViSor - Congratulations on your purchase as well! We share the same excitement!

Welcome to the 230 club. 08 with the 390 is the best!

Love the green! I looked for a while for same color scheme as yours till I settled on a all white. Factory ballast setup?

You'll want the new antenna upgrade if your boat is surging at speed with cruise ON. If you search the site for Zero-Off surging you'll see what we're talking about. Speak with Zero-Off before doing any upgrades because they'll help make sure you get what you need and nothing you don't, good folks.
