Why Wakeboarders Love Sanger Boats

Wakeboarders have a unique bond with Sanger Boats. They’re well loved for their performance motors, design elements, and features made especially for wakeboarders.  

Wakeboarders Need Performance Motors

Sanger boats partner with Indmar Marine Motors, the world’s largest privately held manufacturer of gasoline powered inboard marine engines, to provide custom designed and built motors for each model. Indmar Marine Motors has a long history of innovation and excellence in the marine industry, winning multiple awards and patents for their engines.


Sanger boats choose each motor for the specific application, whether it is surfing, skiing, wakeboarding or driving and riding in their boats. They use the Raptor Series by Indmar, which is a suite of engines based on the 6.2L SOHC V8 Super Duty Ford block. The Raptor Series has a dual personality, meaning it can adapt to different marine conditions and demands. It also has a closed cooling system, which makes it more durable and reliable in salt water. 


The Raptor Series offers different levels of power and torque, depending on the model of the boat. For example, the 212 SL model uses the Raptor 400 engine, which has 404 lb-ft of torque and 350 horsepower. The V215 SX model uses the Raptor 440 engine, which has 427 lb-ft of torque and 398 horsepower. The V237 XTZ model uses the Raptor 575 engine, which has 580 lb-ft of torque and 510 horsepower 2. All these engines run on unleaded gasoline with a maximum of 10% ethanol.


Sanger boats use custom designed and built motors by Indmar Marine Motors for each model to ensure optimal performance, fuel efficiency and durability. They also come with a full 5-year factory warranty that is transferable and administered directly by Indmar
