Well it appears wifey does not approve of the '02 SANTE. I think it's my fault for showing her the newer SV211 last week. After going through a bazillion pics and a few brochures it seems she likes the '06 and up 211s and the '07 and up SANs.

You know what they say, happy wife, happy life. Who am I to complain that she wants to have a nicer boat right?

It sounds like a 211 or 210 will do what you want to be doing better. If that's the case, sure it's an "upgrade". But, newer and bigger don't exactly translate to better IMO.

Since I'm not experienced with the v-drive boats, could someone do a quick rundown on the pros and cons of a '98-'02 Super Sport vs. a 210 vs. a 211? I feel like I know the direct drive ski models pretty well but would like to know more about the capabilities of the wake boats.

When it comes to storage, wake size, seating capacity and the convenience of the tower over the extended pylon (in regards to set up and take down), I would say it's better for us.

One thing you might want to consider when looking at SV211's is that the '07 SV211's had taller seat backs than previous years. It made the boat feel deeper, which we really liked, but maybe not a deal breaker for you.
