230 wake taking on water?

[cycleguy88]

i noticed that during a 4 hour time of just sitting in the water, the bilge pump came on 3 times for about 30 seconds each time. The boat wasn't getting water over the sides into the inside, so how is this happening? Is it normal? My 180 didnt do this. This is also with the ballast completely drained and the valves turned off.

sounds like your taking on water somewhere....only way to find it is by grabbing a few beers and watch the engine compartment. Probably something small like the intake grate bolt that comes through the hull...or the depth finder (if you have one)

hmmm, i'll just tell the dealer to do it while it's in for first service.

Hey, how are you enjoying your new toy? Next year I may consider getting the 230. Be interested in your opinion on the c180 vs w230.

cheers..enjoy

it's like night and day. It doesnt even feel like it's from the same company. The ride is smoother, quieter, and the fabric is nicer. The best thing is that there is more room than you can ever need. I almost went with a 210, but this 230 is just huge and i didnt want to regret anything. I loved the 180, but wished there was more room. It seems like everytime i go out, there's about 7-9 people that want to go, and this thing is perfect. The wake it throws is really nice, and the touchscreen is a great feature. I just started wakeboarding, so i can't quite use the wake just yet, but i didn't want to not have it and want it later on. The features you get on it, over a nonwake, more than justify the $ difference. I jumped on it so soon because the APR was great, and they gave me near payoff on my 180.
