I really do love my H210 but if I had waited a month I may have had to make a deal on this...

At least for me, a Stingray at speed on anything other than glass, flat water is a heck of a kidney beating.

THey just don't handle chop like a FW does.

Fine if you boat on flat water - but not so good if you don't.

Gorgeous boat though - that's for sure.

I like yours more.

Owned one.....

It spent most of it's time in the air! And yes the kidneys hurt! But damn it was rewarding to open up the captains call and drop the hammer and look at the GPS say "70" in big numerals :)

I know you do Dallas!

Well, I'm glad you guys said it rides rough because that is something I can't handle due to my back. I had a guy at work that would have bought mine and then I needed to talk the wife into needing the cabin BUT I'm staying with what I have for a "little". I wasn't going to mention the different engine..just the "pretty red boat" ha ha

The only thing is, my definition of rough might not be yours.. It does weigh quite a bit and honestly it wasn't "that bad" but it didn't ride like the Vista does either... It rode substantially better than the Stingray before it (a 501ZP)

Personally, I'd prefer your 210. It probably has a lot more usable space, unless you had planned to camp out.

I hope to keep this one for 2-3 years and then take the next step up.
