Im thinking of selling my 03' X-Star and pimping out a 05' 210 SANTE. I have some questions and concerns. The 210 is a smaller boat. How much better do you think the X-Star performs in "big water"? What about comfort, space and storage? All a sacrifice in the 210, imo. Engine? I choose.. 6.0 375Hp .. the dealer tells me most people go with the 330hp? Wrong!! Ballast? CC uses Jebsco water puppies right? All ballast systems have issues.. damn impellers!! It will be pimp when Im done with it. My 03'- 5 pumps 3 tanks and 4 bags, all push button, takes minutes. Style? I still like the looks of the X-Star, however the SANTE is historic seasoned look to it. In the end on paper my "likes" tend to side with the X-Star however something, perhaps price has spurred my interest. And that brings us to aftermarket parts... THE FUN STUFF!! If you could design your SANTE starting with the # of batteries to the color of the tower, what would you do? Im thinking of not order any stock speakers, subs, amps, tower speakers, lights etc from the factory. Im thinking JL Audio speakers, offered in the 05' X-Star, stock and 1 NVS 1010 or 8080 for the tower. Any suggestion for tower lights on steriods = to the NVS? What am I missing? I think the thought of a new boat gets me excited.. The thought of not having a payment or a very small one at worst.. and a new 05' pimped SANTE is mind boggling!! I priced a 05' X-Star and it came in at ~$80500 with the L-18 and almost all the options... This could be close to a $30000 difference! Are you guys following me?? Thats crazy..
