New 210 ready for action (lots o pics)

Ralph

Sanger V210 that is. The auto ballast is in and working. 700 pound sac in the Front & 550 pounds of lead, 500 pounds sacs in the back. All hidden, all automatic. MP3 deck with crunch v-drive amps, 1x12" & 10"x2 pionner premium subs. Pionner 6x9's & 6&1/2's on the tower. No mids in the boat itself. Stereo is unbelievably loud and clear, sounds very good at 75 feet.

More...........

The wake shot is without the rear ballast filled. We filled it later in the day when I had a few more hours on her and it got very big and hard. The wake was also quite large.

nice stereo. did you make the tower box yourself and also what is most important to have good tower speakers that you can hear while riding.

Ralph · Posted: Oct 27, 2003 6:28 pm Post subject:

Ta, yes I made the box. Its more efficent to add speakers than add wattage, but that being said you need both multiple speakers and enough watts for an effective setup. With mine I hit them with around 300W, the amps are 2ohm stable in stereo so the are wired in parallel for the rear facing pair which gives good value for money as far as amp performance is concerned. I am not a stereo expert but you can Email me if you want some more specific advice.

Very, very nice setup. I like the less common boat brands and a slightly smaller boat, yours looks perfect assuming you like the color blue..lol. Really nice steering wheel too, Momo? The wake should steepen up about right with the back ballast or if not add more in the back or less up front.

wow... 2 10's and a 12 in that boat ought to thump! What kind of components/3 ways did you use? I'm fixing to put a pair of Alpine Type-Rs in my truck, but I'm contemplating saving one or both for my Tige when I get it. ugh... Decisions!

Ralph-

How about so more detailed pics of your speaker box, including the mounts? It looks great.

Tranner · Posted: Oct 29, 2003 9:57 am Post subject:

I second, More wake pics please!

Ralph · Posted: Oct 29, 2003 1:01 pm Post subject:

Thanks for the great comments. I can't say how impressed I am with the boat, it is awesome. Anyway the speakers are Pioneer TS-A6980R and TS-A1680R 4 ways, both sound excellent when hit with a reasonable amount of power. Here is some more tower box pics as requested. Now that it is fully run in I'll get some more wake pics this weekend when we have it loaded up.

Oh the clamps are Proworks Bar mount clamps. $25 each. I made a pair of alloy backing plates to stop the clamp brusing the wood. It is solid as with only 2 clamps.

Thanks for the pics, looks great.

I would like to see one of these boats in person as well as ride behind one. I love the color of your boat. Looks sick!!! Maybe a differnt color for the speaker box but it looks like it would blow your ears out Smile

mcfatty · Addict Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 725 City: Cookeville

Yeah, it dose look like it would be very loud with those two pointing right at the top of your head.

Seriously one of the best looking boats i've seen in this forum. What does a Sanger V210 run with just standard options?

Wakeguru · Outlaw Joined: 26 Aug 2003 Posts: 150 City: CFL

Ralph, how many people in the boat when that wake pic was taken?
Regardless, it looks great and you've done a lot in a short amount of
time. Sweet!

Are those factory ballast pumps or did you design that system? If you did it your self could you post the design?

looks great!

Hey I have the same boat and I am going to put a ballast system in my self but was wondering how/where you put a 700lb sack up front. I was looking under the ice just but it doesn't look like enough room for a sack that big.

Ralph · Posted: Oct 29, 2003 3:15 pm Post subject:

BIGMAC, that is the undercoat, it will be white like the deck once the painters remove digit.
andrew james, you get a lot of change out of 40k fully loaded. I paid mid thirties & did the stereo & ballast from scratch.
Wakeguru, 7 peeps I think, still planned up on 1/4 throttle.
kennethl, My design, there is a post on them http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/3183/70634.html
Focker, The sac is 80"x28"x10" it won't fill completely but gets pretty close.

sweeeeet!! I can't wit to see the finished product!!

Thanks, that boats got a nice pricetag.

Not sure about out the door cost, I imported mine direct so I'm not sure how many costs I missed out on, but I know I didn't get a smokin deal.

Here's a couple from www.boattrader.com:
03 new, without tower 29.5k
http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/2/2/57919722.htm

03 new, nice specs but Green 34k
http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/8/2/54864882.htm

Don't assume that because of the price they are poorly finished, check one out in the flesh and make up your own mind. I had a sit in an 04 SANTE over the weekend and the V210 is bigger inside and had way more storage. If you are serious about buying one talk to Mark from Semperspeed tell him the kiwi sent you, he will cut you the best deal around.

Congrats on the boat. I just got a 210 also. Couldn't be happier.

Ralph · Posted: Nov 09, 2003 5:51 pm Post subject:

Got some wake pics with the ballast full & 4 peeps on the boat. The girl riding is little at 5 foot 5 or so, rides at 22.5 mph on 75 foot line. The boat handles great with the ballast full. Totally dry front and back & turns very tight at slow speeds. Stoked.
