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!!!!
