And condition could be a real crapshoot depending upon how meticulous the owner is.
Thanks,

New to this group and just sold my bow rider looking to get into more of a ski boat. Currently looking at a 2006 Nautique 206 but not completely sold. looking for an all around/crossover boat. How is the wake for skiing?

Just want to say thank you here. I'm loving this boat - been out twice since its arrival. Surprised at how much more solid the 210 SAN feels vs. DD Air of similar vintage. I guess the sides being higher and being a heftier boat creates that. This is most obvious crossing wakes, etc.
Enjoy your new boat!
I haven't tried the barefoot boom, but will do so and report back.
I very much like the retractable pylon!

Hey Johnny,
You have it right. An update... loving this boat. I've been doing some upgrades.
I added the 375 lb piggyback bags in the rear from Fly High and plumbed them in. Scored a deal on ebay between XMAS and Thanksgiving for $85, shipped for brand new.
I removed the PerfectPass speed controller and re-installed my Hydrophase unit from my old boat. It has a newer User Interface and is a little more adjustable in terms of holding a target speed.
I also adjusted the prop shaft seal (a pain in the *** job), but should be good for a while. I use in saltwater, so keeping water out of the boat is more critical than one used in fresh.
Installed a new tach from Speedhut to replace the OEM broken Faria unit.
Installed a high-altitude / high torque prop. Acme, CNC 1578.
Installed fresh water engine flush of my own design with parts from mcmaster.com
Will add an FAE surf - pipe soon.
Changed drivetrain fluids.
And added about 50 hours of use to it over about 12 1/2 day trips.
Thanks to Rick!
Cheers,
Doug

This is kind of becoming my build / modification thread.
I worked with Larry and team @ FAE to order an exhaust without their usual erector set mounting system. I fabricated my own and welded to their provided pipe. After fabricating my 3/8" stainless "strut loop" and flange mounts which screw in to the bottom of the teak platform, I TIG welded it to the FAE pipe. They shaved off $40 for their mounting hardware.
I proposed to them a similar mounting system with threaded rod, so rod ends and a yoked flange could be used to offer adjustability vs. the erector set mounting system.
I spent 3 or 4 hours fabricating. Hardest part was getting the curve to match the diameter of the pipe. I used a very large impact socket (2 1/4" Diameter) as a forming die and my bench vice and a larger piece of tubing to slip over the rod to aid in bending (cheater bar).
