Thanks! It had 61 hours on it when I bought it. Actually one of the first things I did was clean the vinyl and apply the 303 protectant, it looks real sharp now. I guess the original owner had the two year warranty with the boat, the dealership offered me the +4 year warranty for 1K. I think Im going to take him up on the offer, just in case something was to go wrong I will be covered.

Your right about the strap, I did leave it off on purpose. But after hearing why it should be there it makes a lot more sense and I think I'll be using it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ohh, niiice. That royal (navy?) blue with the yellow/silver graphics is such a nice color. That thing looks mint in the picture - are there any hours on it or was it left over? I suspect the canvas & bimini looks sweet in blue as well.
Don't forget the 303 fabric gaurd - the dealer did mine before delivery but I think I will re-do it just for the sake of double the protection. I have a feeling the black canvas on mine will take a beating.
Are you as surprised about the amount of room to service the engine in a 210 as I was? Wow, for such a large boat that engine is really stuffed in there.
Only thing I notice is that you are missing the bow strap from the bow eye to the trailer. Seems a bunch of people don't think its necessary but after someone (I think it was 230Mike) mentioned the point of them is not to hold the boat down but rather that the boat & trailer become a single piece - that you are basically adding a suspension to your boat rather than a trailer with a load on. If the boat can bounce on the bunks then you risk damaging the gel or worse - the hull. I'm convinced so I'll be taking the time to put it on.


Glad you mentioned the bow strap. I was just saying to the Mrs. today about maybe NOT using it when we were loading up from the day on lake. I said well it came with it I'll use it. Now I will definitely continue to use it.I did buy other transom straps. I didn't like the ratcheting ones that came W/boat. Had to be very careful so that any of the mechanism didn't contact the hull.

P.S. Welcome & NICE boat!!!!

Beautifull boat, although I may be a bit biased, as mine is the exact same color combo.

On the topic of covers, I use the FW mooring cover on mine. (I really must update my avatar.) In addition to the benefit of not having to deal with snaps, it covers below the rub rail and practically all of the color band on my 200. I use bungie cords to hook from the support loops on the cover to the trailer to take out the small amount of slack, and that cover sheds water great. I highly recommend it.
