Help me decide 15 G23 v 19 SAN230
 

Am i better off in a 2015 G23 or a 2019 SAN 230?
Very similar option specs, primarily surf, tow vehicle is 2020 F150 5.0L

Danke

Towing wise you are better off with the 230. Surfing wise you are better if with the 230. Send like an easy decision.

didn't you just buy a Sanger v210

Yes, kids convince mom to upgrade so I was dreaming about boat's available. Most ppl here are saying G over 230 even though it's older

For the primary purpose of surfing, G, no question.

Most people towing G23s with 1/2 trucks are doing so with no people/gear and empty gas tanks for short distances with upgraded tow packages/tires otherwise it’s a white knuckle experience. Something that should be a major factor to keep in mind unless you plan on upgrading the tow rig.

Like others have said, towing/surfing (if you don’t mind added bags/re-cycling ballast pumps/losing storage) and joy of driving/maneuverability of the boat = 230.

Just wanna drop the boat in and fill up and have solid surf/wakeboard wakes and storage/space galore = G23.

I have a 230 and have ridden/surfed behind G23's. If surfing is 1st mission, and, towing with a 1/2 ton truck, 230. You'll have to add extra ballast, but the NSS will make the 230 surf wake really good w/extra weight. The surf wake won't be as "steep" on the 230 vs.G23, but, it's more versatile.

If you intend on any wakeboarding, the G23 has a better wake, easier to get there. Driving a 230, no question is a more responsive boat than the G.
