Go and demo that boat..... Seriously....
I have spent a lot of time in an SA. It is a great boat. It has some drawbacks that you would want to make sure you can live with.... Most notably- it dips the bow easier than any other wakeboat I have experience with. Funny part, is that the SC is one of the least likely to dip. I also hate that 60% of the storage is filled with ballast bags, but a lot of wakeboats are like that.
Boat handles excellent, has great fit and finish, and puts out a nice stock wakeboard and surf wake.
For what it's worth, my buddy bought a 2014 SA last spring. He is trading it for an SC, or an SG (if it comes out in time). This lake gets fairly rough, and he is completely tired of taking water over the front while ballasted. He Demo'd an SC for 2 days, and didn't have it happen once. He is not new to the wakeboat game either, and knows how to drive them. He has owned a 23lsv, and a SAN 230 before the SA. The front is just so big, and so low. Looks awesome on the water (like the second gen xstar, which was also a bow dipper when heavily loaded....
Take that for what it's worth. Still one hell of a great boat, but you might want to demo the SC as well.
