Please educate me on the 210 SANTE

[FLY6584]

Alright so I'm in the market for a 210 SANTE in the 25k-30k range so it looks like I'm in the 01-03 year range. I've found a ton of great information so far, but I was wondering if someone could educate me on the differences between the years from the start of the 210 hull to the end. Basically things like engine options, hull changes, major option changes, etc. Also what is considered the "best year range"?

Thanks for the help! Also I think this goes without saying, but if I'm looking for strictly a great wakeboard boat should I even consider anything else aside from a 210?

Nice boat, but a little out of my price range. I'm capped at 30k. Thanks though.

I cut and paste this from a old post. Its great information. I have a 03 and think the 02/ 03 are the best years. The 03 may be a little out of your price range, but you should be able to find a 01 or 02 for under $30K. Good luck!

2001- Correct Craft at some point does away with true wrap around seating for the "stadium seating." It is also the first year of the 3 piece rear hatch.

In 2002 the deck was redesigned to make more room, the sloped transom of the 01 and previous SS now had a more squared off look it. The boat received a new interior vinyl pattern, which disappeared in 2003. This is also the last year that the PCM GT-40 was offered. 2002 also marked the first of the "Team" edition boats, this package included Kicker audio speakers, wedge tanks, and an optional center ballast. 2002 Also brought a new gelcoat pattern. The buyer could now choose: deck, hull, primary, secondary, and third stripe colors.

In 2003, the SAN saw another dash and interior, these two elements would stay with the boat for the rest of its run. The Super Air Nautique was also renamed the "210" a name which was reverted mid season back to "Super Air 210" due to consumer outcry. 2003 is widely regarded as a favorite year due to the fact that it contains the best of the new model (04-05) boats + a colored deck (2003 was the final year of production for this.) the actuated trunk covers. 2003 was also the final year of the Python 502 motor in the Super Air and the first year that the PCM Excalibur 330 became standard. This year the CD player was also re-located to the glove box.

2004- brought us the 3rd generation of the FCT, this was the first year since 2000 that one could no longer order a colored deck. The 2004 boats also saw a new latching system on the back hatches to replace the actuated doors. These are referred to as the "knee busters." 2004 also did away with the 3rd stripe. The SAN from this point on only had Hull, Primary, and Secondary color options.

2005- Correct Craft reverts to the second generation FCT tower. The team edition boats are now outfitted with Polk Momo, and for the first time boats come from the factory with exposed speaker grills. In either 2004 or 2005 (or somewhere in-between those years.) CC added more reinforcement to the bow to make the boat less likely to porpoise.

2006- Correct Craft once again names the 210 the "210 Air" The '06 brought many changes, the most drastic being the new PCM- V-drive transfer case. This new V-drive replaced the Walters unit. The PCM V-drive was smaller, but also changed the prop rotation to a clockwise (right hand rotation.) Along with those changes the problematic "Helm control" system was replaced all together, they used Jabsco ballast puppies (auto reversible pumps.) so there is one pump per tank. The new ballast system drains the water under the hull and as a result the ballast overflow/and drain ports on the hull were eliminated. 2006 also brought a new fourth generation flight control tower. This seemed to be a modified version of the new SAN220 tower. Due to the differences in beam width, the new FCT4 for the SAN has additional bracing. They also elongated the windshield

Very cool. I saw that in another thread and as much as I like the black on black that might be a little much. I really like the black on black boats I've seen with the white and gray seats. Not too sure I'd really dig black seats in the summer. Still a sick boat though.
