hello to all, first post. loyal fw owner trading a 258 vista down for a sportier cuddy (kids more into watersports vs cruising as older) but still want a good sized boat. can anyone tell me the min planing speed for a 2000 ish 215, want to see if will be slow enough for little wakeboarders. thanks in advance, sam |

From memory, the min. planing speed for my '99 225 Sundowner was about 14- 15mph ( GPS), if anything the min. planing speed for my current 245 Sundownere is slightly lower ( but it has trim tabs, which help). The 2000 215/ 235 Sundowners had a modified hull shape compared to the earlier 205/225. Better or worse for min. planing speed, I don't know, but judging by the nomenclature, they reverted to the earlier hull shape in 2002 or 2003! Graham |

we regularly wake board behind my 205 with 260hp ( now known as 215 for some reason). it needs a lot of weight forward to keep a good wake and stay on the plane, at around 18mph, for us, though this usually involves about 8 people on board, which is way too much weight aft. its not ideal, but then its not really what the boats designed for. try fishing / overnighting offshore whale watching from a dedicated ski/wake boat ! |
