FACTORY DESCRIPTIONS / OPTIONS LIST: 

The 230 Vantage's incredible design features a spacious bow area with cushions, backrests and cup holders, and a fold-out stern seat with backrest provides comfort for additional crew members. The innovative convertible port lounge seat with storage faces either forward or backward, so you can face your guests or watch the watersports behind the boat.

Hardcore anglers will appreciate the utility center in the cockpit, which includes a sink with drain, a cutting board and a 36-quart cooler. An optional fishing package adds a 14-gallon livewell, a fishing station, a raw-water washdown and transom-mounted rod holders. Cruise confidently offshore for an extended fishing run, thanks to an accessible head featuring a molded sink with drain and lockable entry door.

For those who put the ski in fish and ski, the 230 Vantage has it all. A watersports tower with navigation light and tow bit, plus the power of a 300HP Mercury FourStroke Verado engine ensure thrilling rounds behind the rope. A standard Fusion stereo system pumps out music to ski to, or an optional premium audio package (amp, premium speakers, subwoofer) will really get things bumping.
