Sanger V215 Wake Series
Recommendation: Wakeboard
www.waterskimag.com/boats/sangerv215
The Sanger V215 Wake Series is one boat that will completely change the way you view V-drive handling performance. Match it up against any high-performance direct-drive and it will give 'em a run for their money. This brand-new hull design from Sanger is a classic V that is constructed with the TLC that all Sanger boats are known for. Measuring out at 21 feet, 6 inches long and 96 inches wide, it's the most nimble V that we tested. The ultimate driving experience is complete with a functional helm, driver's lumbar support, clean-looking dash and oversized Borg-Warner gauges.
Not only does this boat drive like a dream but it's family-friendly, too. There's a plethora of storage options and just about every equipment access area opens up with a smooth hydraulic gas shock. The V215 maintains the wake versatility that the Sanger line is known for. Power up the speed for skiing, wakeboarding or any other water sport and you're dialed for a quality pull.
Skiing
Open-water skiing families will get along just fine behind the V215. The wakes have a touch of hardness that is quickly realized behind any V-drive. It tracks extremely well for any discipline you tow, holding a straight path with rack-and-pinion steering and solid pulling power.
Wakeboarding
Option this baby out with the Wake Series 2 package if you want the best the V215 has to offer for wakeboarding. Excellent wake shape with above-average size will get you airing your moves out into the flats. Quick transitions are characterized by a lot of kick off the top of the wakes.
