Sanger V215 XTZ

Boating World Magazine’s executive editor, Alan Jones, tests the new Sanger V215 XTZ.

If you haven’t heard of Sanger, chances are good you’re not a Left Coaster. Based in Fresno, Calif., this boat brand has been around for 60 years and is branching out nationwide with its line of quality ski boats that come to you at an affordable price. Case in point is its crossover model V215, the smallest but perhaps the most versatile model in its three-boat lineup, which comes in at less than $70K. With 1,000 pounds of standard ballast split 50/50 fore and aft, the boat gives wakeboarders a large, crisp wake for low-orbit space travel. At 20 mph, the engine was loafing along at 2600 rpm, carving the optimum wake. Because the rear ballast is split into two tanks, surfing is doable, especially if you adjust the up-to-12 passenger load around in the cockpit’s U-lounge seating. But dump the ballast and adjust the speed to around 30, and the wake shrinks and softens enough to give slalom skiers a flat enough field of play for some serious slashing.
