Anyone have any idea if the freeboard is higher on 2015 and newer AR/SX240's compared to AR/SX230's?
Is the tip of the bow the same height from the water when on plane?

The 240's have higher freeboard than the 230s both sitting and on plane. There are two models of 230s, the 2009+ have higher free board than the 2003-2008 models.

Never measured the difference.

The 240 bow is also splayed out to the sides more, creating more room, and higher freeboard at the same time.

to break it down further on 230s
230s 03 to 06 have lower freeboard than the later boats (and Lighter boat..good for speed)

07-09 Higher Freeboard than priors

10+ 240s with Even Higher Freeboard
