Now this is a flame post, hoping to get you all riled up as the weather turns and glassy mornings await.

I own a Sanger V210, love it, and I love all the new boats but find the most popular models tend to have certain bathtub-ish qualities when viewed from the side. I'm all for heated discussion so flame on and post up what you guys think makes a sexier wakeboat than this 237xtz. put up the pics. I know Chattawakes 23LSV is a hot looking ride.

I very much like what they have done with the new tower. Really improves the lines from the side. Does the whole thing fit behind/below the windshield when folded?

It's my favorite upgrade on the 2017, though It's looks like it's only on the XTZ's for now. They need to do a fiberglass floor with Seadek and upgrade the touch screen to something a bit bigger. Its an assisted tower (cable I think) and does fold near flat. Dual bimini option too. I wish Wakeboarding Mag would review these guys, but I think Sanger passes the marketing savings onto the customer. Such a sleek package. 'Bu's are the only comparable and maybe SAN 210/230's. They're interiors a bit nicer than Sangers but it's not a wide margin.

What is that thing hanging off the back that looks like a whale tail on an old Porsche 911? Is it a bench? Looks like there's a lump on top of it too. I've never seen anything like that before.

I'm not fond of that option on the XTZ's and have heard it's a bit in the way when getting out of the water onto the platform.
Old     (SHotz__21)      Join Date: Aug 2016       05-10-2017, 2:03 PM Reply   
it's like a bench. it allows the rider to sit and place his board directly below him, rather then having to bend and stretch so far over to strap in.

saw it at a boat show, made putting my boots on easier lol.

The back of that looks like an electric lift gate to lower the old people onto the platform

breakz77 might have invented the most forward thinking wake device yet. With prices touching 200k$ on new wakeboats, you'll need to use one once the boats paid off.

the bench has a "racer wing on the cavalier" kinda look, not the boat, but the bench thing.

That is straight sexy.... I definitely like the look of the lower profile boats better on the water. Just looks sexy. The reality is the market is going higher freeboard and driving them in chop or through your surf wave is certainly much better in the higher freeboard boats. Based on looks you might be right on sex appeal, but on functionality.
I really do like that tower on that Sanger.

I'm a big Sanger fan. Love the quality of their boats, simple sleek designs etc, but man, they now look extremely dated IMO. That boat looks like something out of the early 2000's. It's a 2017 that looks dated out of the box. The tower helps a bit, but I think it's finally time for them to add some freeboard.

The sexiest boat on the water is an Xstar. The Xstar has some of the best lines and a sleek look.

I will agree the boat looks great but could lose that rear end. I'm a fan of the freeboard and always thought the Craz looked pretty decent in the water.

you guys must get on the platform with the beached whale approach. wouldn't put it on mine, but it wouldn't be a deal killer

boat looks good. dig the color scheme. I wouldn't plaster S U R F down the side of it, buts thats just me. Tower is a big improvement

the "spoiler" would deflect water if stopped abruptly with a wave behind it

Never though of the water catcher benefit of the spoiler, agree with them looking a bit dated, but a 993 Porsche is a sexy ,dated beast no? I like the look of the Craz but Moomba has a habit of adding mid 90's Cavalier pinstriping too. AGREE 100% on the Surf decals being put on everything. Reminds me of when every marketing ploy involved Extreme.

I'd like to see Seadek/Gatorstep, added bow ballast and another 1" of freeboard on Sangers.No more than that though or we're into the brick like look of the Nautiques G's and Skier Choice Blunt Nose boats (both of which are pretty sexy in their own right)


For reference:

same boat, different angle. not nearly as offensive as it looks in the first pic. extends the useable area back there.


ONE inch of freeboard might be good. definitely don't want them to take on the houseboat look that others have

vdrive lockers looks like they lost some room to the cabin/cockpit.. I'm guessing they still come stock w 400 lbs tanks. maybe not, i'm sure the locker extends all the way to whale tail

Nothing wrong with a 2002 Malibu.. Look at the SAN210. Nautique has done a great job of building great boats and pushing the envelope, but the SAN210 lines haven't changed alot over the years. A classic look. Granted Sanger could update some aesthetics but overall it's a classic boat that ages gracefully. The truth is on the water and I'd like to see some newer vids of riders behind this and other Sangers. Not alot of content out there.

Yes, but there's no discount, cheap bastards. There's also a wheelchair rack option for the tower as well.

You don't sit on your boat? Quite relaxing. Coldie in hand makes it even better.

The freeboard on 210's/230's has grown with the times, but it's still been able to maintain its cosmetic roots. Kind of like the 911's did. Side story: I measured and compared the freeboard of a 230 to a G23 last week at the dealer. I was surprised to see the G has only a few inches more.

Lol. Of course I sit on my boat as described, but my favorite thing to do is put on one vest, put on another one upside down like a diaper and just float. Aaaaah. Relaxation at its best.

That cushion is removable. Doubles as a pooper.

"SPOILER ALERT!"
"If it's your turn to ride and you have to drop a quick deuce, Sanger's got ya covered with the all new poop chute platform"

The industry is abuzz over the innovative new options offered by Sanger.

One reviewer: "Man that's a real latrine machine!"
Another reviewer: "That boat's the SH+T!"
Yet another reviewer: "The poop chute platform is the "Number 2" option I'd add to every Sanger"

Sanger is changing the game with its new cutting edge mindset and is really "pushing" the envelope.

I can hear the cheerleaders shaking their giant brown pom poms at the boat show, chanting:

"If ya want to build a boat that can't be beat, add a rear spoiler with a toilet seat!"

It's not a bad looking boat at all imo. The tower would've benefited from being black or white and lose the cheesy surf stickers. The real prob is the 23' 7" Sanger feels like a 20' boat inside. They're pretty cramped despite the size.
Old     (Lemonade)      Join Date: May 2015       05-11-2017, 9:21 AM Reply   
I agree with Detox, the low slung and narrowish seats contribute to the cramped feeling. The tradeoff is having to fuel up and surf behind the Nautique houseboats. Chatta you've missed your calling if you're not in marketing. I'd say comparing anything to a 993 Turbo is a stretch... I'm thinking one of the manufacturers needs to partner up with Porsche for a one off special edition. the platform is good concept but not the best execution but remember this is a small builder by comparison.

I think I like Pavati's transom best.

I bet Sanger's site and any social media sites have seen a huge increase in hits since this thread. I know that I had never been to their website before, but after reading this, I had to check it out. Turns out Lemonade works for their marketing department and will be getting promoted soon for all of the increase in traffic.

Lemon: Here is my 15 year old Whooptie, with more Trick's then 19th ave in Oakland. Untill the GS Nautique came out I seriously had no intrest or want for a new boat. That new GS fits the bill for me. (Tower folds and fits in a some what of a standard garage)

Despite it's "Spatula" on the water look, the XStar is a sweet looking rig, not a fan of MC towers new or old, and not a fan of the new squiggly looking rub rail. Reminds me of the Ford Taurus mid 90's redesign. Tough to work for a Cali company in Canada. Just stumbled across that pic on facebook and thought wow, clean looking boat. I'd love to get into a SAN 230 but no F'in way I'll drop that kind of coin when I only get about 2 good months of riding. Here's my whip:

Actually its more of a dust plan and I agree on the towers. They are complex, expensive and not any better than other simpler designs. But the hull is a classic and makes a pretty good wake.

I think its the 57 chevy of tow boats. Still good looking decades after its been replaced.

BTW, Chatt is killing me. Feels like the old wakeworld.

Yeah, those 230's looked good on the water and surfed awesome. I was not a fan of the finiky wake though. I owned 3, so I have plenty of experience with the inconsistent wake (once you added any additional ballast).
