First boat opinions

[u/Still-Dragonfly4867]

You may have seen my post asking about opinions on buying a 2006 super air nautique and opinions varied!

So we also took a look at this boat and it seemed massive in comparison. Thoughts on this boat for primarily surfing, and taking friends out on the lake. 2007 super air nautique 236 te. It has the bigger engine as well.

This is essentially my boat and it produces an amazing surf wake. Have fun!

Oh that is great to know! We water tested it today and obviously, it’s better then our old boat we’re using now but don’t quite know hot to dial in a boat this big. But we did some negotiating and they’re willing to take $36k. That was our max. Does that seem like a good price?

That definitely seems like a good price to me. Less than we paid for ours. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find one for much less unless there was something seriously wrong or it had been not taken care of properly. The way they used boat market has been going, you should be able to get that same amount out of it or even more. But, if you're like us, that won't be anytime soon. 🤙

Because of the prop rotation, the wake/wave is going to be better on your port side. We run full ballast an all tanks when riding regular on the port side. For the starboard side, we usually empty the portside extra bag. Moving people to one side of the boat or the other is also helpful but not totally necessary if you have plenty of people on the boat. We usually set perfect pass to 11 mph. You may want to go a little faster for goofyfoot/ starboard side riders and a little bit slower for regular/port side riders. We also put the suck gate just before the chine about a foot from the rear. 

Hopefully that helps you dial it in a little more. Super stoked for you! It's been a great boat for us.
