My dealer has a 2006 230VRS on the floor, so I spent some time looking it over. Impressive. The things that stood out different from my 2004 VRS..

The windshield pass-through is a hinged door rather than a snap-able curtain.

Glove compartment is much bigger, but the stereo is there. There's a Clarion remote at the driver's right hand throttle panel.

No carpeting. I presume a snap-able carpet set is available.

Dash has speedo, tach, and Perfect Pass. The PP on the one I saw doesn't appear to be the multi-line gauge.

Rear deck has a removeable cushion for center walkway over the engine. Pads on either side of the hatch, which is wider than on the previous models. The side compartment doors are much narrower. Side compartments are same size, just a little harder to get into. Engine hatch actually latches instead of being held down by the right side compartment latch..

Rear swim platform on this boat was fiberglass. It appears to have a different tread than the one that's been leaving all those black marks. It appears to be a little bigger.

This boat had a 12x22 center trim tab with single hydraulic actuator. The gauge sits on the panel where the driver's cup holder is on the floor below the throttle.

I don't know the price, or the weight, or the performance...but sitting there on the showroom, it's an impressive vehicle.

Not sure if these "boattest.com" guys are impartial or not, but here's a nice little video.

Sounds very nice, I'll have to go over to Pine Crest Marina to see if they have one in!
