About to make my final decision between these two boats. Is the 255 worth the extra 20k?

extra feet would be nice for bigger waters but if you are looking at wake editions you are probably inland lake doing watersports and the 215 will be faster and more fuel efficient with the same motors. Then again, it depends on the size of your typical crew!

Yes inland lake for water sports mostly but also cruising around with fam and friends. Want to make sure we can fit a decent amount of people comfortably. If I can fit 10 comfortably I'm good.

The 215 will hold 10 but if you planned to have more than 8 often, I would recommend the 255.

We love our 255. I would suggest the 255 if you plan to have 10 people and sit them comfortably. Our 255 has the twin 200hp motors and it is already breaking 50mph while still in break in at 5 hours.
