Based upon your recent purchase, you can't go wrong with a Correct Craft 230 or 236. Wakeboarding journalist and history nerd here (check my stats). Rarely post lately but trying to re-emerge. The 230/236 was simply a gorgeous craft appointed with almost all if not all of the modern things you'd expect. Designed by Steve Carlton, a hero of mine and the best purist naval architect developer guy in the game. If you care about wakeboarding itself, and want a boat that really performs alongside the best hulls ever made (those being the first GOOD boats from a naval architecture AND semi-pro wakeboarder perspective, the late 90's Super Sport hulls from Correct Craft, 210 Correct Crafts from any year, the DD and VD 205 Master Crafts and 2001 Correct Craft Ski Nautique 2001's), the 230/236 is right there too.
The G23 was a game changer. The most insane thing ever to happen in the sport from a boating perspective. But if a 10/10 behind-a-boat experience as a purist wakeboarder is what you are after, look at the 230's and 236's. I've been yapping my mouth about a set of boats that enter a "Hall of Fame" sort of thing and published a whole chart about this, more than 10 years ago. It's still referenced a lot even now in 2020. The only 2 additions I'd make to that chart are the 230/236 and the first iteration of the G23. I have a VERY good track record and I am conservative as hell. it all depends on what you're looking for. If you want a solid & amazing experience behind the boat..... and are ok with a lightly-used machine (as you should be).... 230/236.
