            The
cliche holds true with the Sanger V230: Size does matter.
That’s why the company added some length to its lineup of
dependable, high-performance boats. Topping out at 22 feet, 7
inches long and 100 inches across, the Sanger V230 is the right
blend of performance, luxury styling and family roominess.

It’s built with the same principles that define all Sanger
boats. With its hand-finished wood-core composite stringers, 100
percent hand-laminated hull and deck and 30-degree deadrise, the
V230 is a boat that offers the forgiving ride that all Sanger boats
aspire to, but with more room and amenities. Designed with a deep
freeboard and well-padded in all the right places, it’s a
boat that you can take on larger bodies of water and ride
comfortably.

           From
the exterior aesthetics to the plush and spacious wraparound
seating in the central cockpit, the V230 is a class act. It’s
also practical, with numerous cavernous storage options accessed
with gas-shock hinges, stainless-steel grab rails throughout, a
large cooler, an oversized glove box for personal items and an
assortment of drink holders. Fortunately, at the heart of its
sophisticated appearance is a true high-performance V-drive
that’s capable of producing pro-sized swells.

           Outfitted
with the Wake Series package, which includes a Pro Flight tower and
front and rear ballast, the V230 launched our riders off
hearty-size ramps with excellent shape and transition for all of
their toughest moves. Drivers have no excuses with wakeboard pulls
thanks to world-class tracking and speed-holding that sets a
precedent in this size boat. Sanger now turns the tables to ask,
“How big can you go?” 

 The Lowdown:

•Gives you the performance you expect from its little
brother, the V210, in a larger model for families who want the
extra spaciousness.

•Offers a comfortable ride on big water thanks to solid
Sanger construction, including a deep freeboard.

•The V-drive generates pro-level wakes to challenge even
advanced riders.

•Gas-shock hinges make accessing storage compartments as
easy as possible.

•The Wake Series package finishes off the overall style and
wakeboarding performance with a tower and ballast system.
