My wife and I are in the process of selling our Sanger V215sx, and are very interested in the 2021 Makia. I would prefer to have a 21 SA, but she can't see past the dollar signs.

I appreciate this thread because it is helping me plan for when we purchase. I'll be salvaging 400lbs of lead from our current boat, and since it is just her and I and two Ausholes most days, I'll be looking for 500 more.

That being said, storage is a concern as well. We have a large tube for the kids, and all the other accoutrements of family boating with young-un's, dogs, and FOP's alike. I don't want to thread-jack, but what pros and cons of the Makai do you Makai owners have with regards to surfing. I surf, and my wife is just getting willing to try. We have been teaching boat guests how to surf, and have the occasional wakeboarder. I've found some boards that surf well for me, and am looking forward to longer waves with more push so I can get on the old guy 360 thread, if I remember my GoPro.

We really are trying to be wise with our purchase. It's a lot of money, and we quickly outgrew our Sanger, and don't want to make the same mistake. Any info without overtaking the original intent of this thread would be appreciated.
