  1. I have owned an 07 Enzo 230 and a 14 Enzo 230.  Enzo sacs on each side will be produce a really good wave. We stuck with that and were fine but you might want to consider a little lead in the back as well. Bow weight is generally unnecessary for surfing an Enzo. My 07 had the Sideswipe exhaust and I hated it. It was way too loud. If we had kept it any longer I would have definitely looked into the baffle options mentioned above.  Overall, looks like a great boat though!  Hope it works out for you!

    Would love to see a picture of your boat! not may 16-SV244's were made.

     

    So I am headed to Chattanooga today to pick up this boat as my friend is trading in his Supreme on it! So stoked I will have another 244 on our lake to shred behind!

    Like the green.  Loved the blue of the Chattanooga one more actually!  But the green is growing on me :)

    I have a 16- 244 with that engine. I also had a 14 244 with the 409

     

    409 is  a better motor hands down. However, the 343 has been completely fine. 

     

    The lack of top end is the new transmission. although, mine will hit 35,  vs 41 on my 2014 so, nor sure why that one only hit 30...trim maybe? Any of the 16 boats will have that transmission keeping the RPM's higher

    It does not struggle surfing at Surf speed at all. I have 585 hours on  mine

     

     

    I personally love the SV244 wave.  All in All, that's a great seal on the boat! plus the 16 vinyl is better than the 14-15's 

    I too have a '16 SV244 with the 343.  I don't care about top end, so haven't even gone over 25-28mph with it.  It surfs great, even fully loaded with ballast.  We have a small crew though (usually no more than 5 or 6 adults) so I can't speak to performance with a large crew. We live in TN so altitude isn't a problem. In fact, I considered buying the boat you are looking at before we got ours. I passed though because 1) the dealer wasn't budging off his 89k price at the time 2) another brand new '16 SV244 was for sale closer to me near Nashville and I snatched that one up because it was the same price but had nearly every available option for that model year.  In my opinion, 83k is a great price for that boat.  Double check what prop is on it and adjust if necessary and then buy it.


  4. Sounds like to be on the safe side that I might want to consider 2 new batteries? Cranking and deep cycle? And just get it over with? FWIW that Battery Tender is a smart charger and doesn't over charge. It switches to maintenance mode when the battery is fully charged.


  5. Battery 1 (the one that doesn't hold a charge now) was the main cranking battery. Battery 2 (also a starting battery) was being used as a house battery. The switch is off/1/both. I am pretty green with electrical so not sure what the VSR is? I trailer my boat is it goes in the garage after every use and I frequently (though not always) remember to put it on a trickle charge afterward.


  6. Sorry for hijacking, but this is kind of along the same lines... those with a dual battery setup, do you have a starting battery and a deep cycle, or two starting batteries, or two dual purpose? My ss230 came with two starting batteries and number one is already worn out in less than 2 years. Wondering if I should switch to a deep cycle to run everything else and moving the other starting battery to be primarily used for starting now. Any thoughts?


  7. I have a mid ballast hard tank left from my old 07 Enzo that I would be willing to sell - I think it is 250lbs or so full. Don't know if it would fit what you are looking for or not. I could do outside measurements of it when I get home tonight if you think this would be helpful. I might even be able to get ahold of the other tank that was on that boat. I accidently left it at the dealer when I had some ballast swapped out and forgot to ever go back and get it. But it wouldn't surprise me if they still had it! Let me know.


  8. I know you guys have mostly been talking about diesels, but I pull my Enzo ss230 with a '10 Nissan Titan and it does great. The gas mileage isn't great - but that seems to be a common theme on this thread. I live at 4600ft and frequently pull to lakes at 6500ft - 8000ft and I have no trouble at all with the Titan. When towing I get 9-11 mpg and without towing I get 12 - 14 mpg around town and 15 - 17 mpg on the highway.


  9. I purchased from Olinger Marine in Idaho but my boat was delivered to me straight from the factory. The driver that Olinger contracted with charged me $1/mile. I thought that was a pretty good deal and it came shrink wrapped so everything was well protected and kept clean.


  10. Here is another option for the sideswipe. I had an 07 Enzo with sideswipe and was going to do this mod until I just ended up selling it and getting a '14. You can order a welded baffle from Fineline and replace the "flapper style." From what I understand, it does reduce the noise noticeably and is probably cheaper than rerouting the exhaust to the transom. Check out this thread: http://www.centurioncrew.com/index.php/topic/4527-baffles-to-reduce-sideswipe-noise/?hl=%2Bsideswipe+%2Bbaffle#entry53337


  11. My old boat that some of you have probably seen pics of - the black NASCAR #3 - we called it Dale... for obvious reasons. My new 2014 SS230 doesn't have a name yet. I personally don't care if it has a name or not (and I would never put a name on the boat) but my wife wants it to have a name, so we'll see what she comes up with.


  12. You came to Mattas, eh? I live in Grand Junction, and used to frequent Mattas... I am not a fan. Now I take my boat to a place called Chuck's Marine here in town. They don't sell boats or accessories. They only work on boats and they do a good job at a much better price than Mattas. So if you are willing to drive back to GJ, I'd recommend Chuck's.


  13. I am hopefully taking it out for the first time tomorrow and will get pics up then. We live in the freakin desert and it never rains here... except this week. We had more rain just yesterday than the entire month of Sept last year! Been raining today, and they are calling for more tomorrow. So we'll see!
