    Help finding right boat

    Looking to buy my first 210 boat for mostly wakeboarding. $30-35k Max budget.
    Test drove a 2006 Malibu VLX and like the rampier transition and 18 mph clean wake better my friends very steep 2003 210 that I used to ride, however heard the 07+ wake is more rampy now and narrower than the VLX for going W2W?
    Also considering a 211. Mostly advanced beginner. Should I hold out for an '08 210 instead of an '07 because of the interior layout or steer towards a 211 or VLX? Some say buy the wake not the boat.
    Also does the Nautique of this era have heavier more wobbly tower?
    Do the seats sit higher off the floor on the '07? I liked how deep the malibu was inside as well as the comfortable height the seats were from the floor.
    Would anyone close to this 210 be willing to help a fellow PN member out and give the actual condition/opinions?

    Thanks ahead.

      The 07 210 is deeper than the VLX, Has more freeboard than the VLX , and has a wake that is much more on par with a VLX. It's still bit meatier as the VLX is brown for it rampier wake characteristics ,but the 07 210 wake is not the same brick wall of the original hull. It's much more
      user friendly and can be mellowed off if you prefer that with the hydrogate (nautiques "wake shaper). It's roomier as well. 07's are rare but they can also easily be had in mid 30's. 08's can be had in high 30's but realistically you're looking at 40. Wake is identical , the main difference is the seating layout. The reversible lounge is money. 8 adults can sit recline and face action in comfort. It's up to you to decide if the layout is worth the up charge. Performance wise they're identical.

      The VLX is a great boat. I will also say this. If surfing is a thought. The 210 surfs better for sure.


      it sounds like wakeboarding is your thing. I would stay clear of the SV 211. It's sounds tempting , but it's not even close to the VLX or 210 in wakeboard wake.

      Lastly that 210 you posted looks clean , has some great options and a great timeless gel coat color pattern. I would jump on that bad boy for sure.
