Hello all, I am moving from Los Angeles to St. Petersburg, Florida this summer. I currently own a 2016 Sanger V215S that I bought brand new with about 100 hours on it. I will likely live on the water in St. Pete with a dock in the back yard. I'm trying to figure out how much of a PITA the 26-29" draft is going to be and if it is a horrible idea to use that particular boat in the salt.

I do a bit of everything (Slalom, Wakeboard and Surf) and my wife exclusively surfs. I also plan to use it in the intercoastal/bay, with some trips to inland lakes thrown in sporadically. I don't think keeping the Sanger makes sense (correct me if I'm wrong please). I do love the boat, but we have been looking at all kinds of options in the $100k range with saltwater packages. Unfortunately that mostly limits us to the Nautique GS20 (loved it) 210 (meh), Tige RZX20 and ZX21 (loved them both) and the Mastercraft NXT/XT 20/21/22 (I grew up on MC Prostars, and as much as it pains me to say this, I didn't care for the new ones). I know Heydey makes a saltwater setup, but I can't get over the looks of those. I've also thought about being really out there and going Yamaha 255XE, but I am extremely skeptical about a Jet Boat for surfing, though the 1'7" draft is tempting.

If anyone has experience in the Tampa area I'd appreciate it, or insight about running a boat in salt/shallower water. Thanks!
