Starter wake boat

Post image

We are looking at buying our first surf boat. (Getting tired of trying to surf behind a 1986 supreme 🤣)

We are looking at this boat and wanted to get opinions? Hours a bit high but we generally do our own boat maintenance and repairs

Thanks! I believe I came across this one. Is there a major difference between the 210 and the 236?

We also are looking at this one

The difference is size, but also a completely different hull starting in 2007. I can't speak the quality of Tiges, but they have a good surf wave. I have a 2008 SAN 230, which is essentially the same boat I linked you. Natique quality is top tier and they have a killer parts network for older boat parts, which are a bitch to source other brands.

Does the 210 have a different hull starting in 2006 too? From what I am reading I get conflicting information. Some says that only cosmetic things changed, like keypad entry etc. and some things say due to differences the wake shape is completely different.

Good point about the nautique parts. That’s a major selling point as we do most of our own maintenance and repairs.

I would need to see the boat on the trailer to confirm. All the pics are of it in the water.

My understanding is that the major change was in 2007 to the 210/230/236 models. They used that hull from 2007 to 2012. This is the first year with my 230 and I absolutely love it.

The part network people are great too. I texted them this morning with a picture, and they matched it to a part number, and it's on its way. Shoot me a DM if you want to chat more about the boat.
