2012 Rumors?

[aarond0083]

I don't know if it's possible, but it'd be cool if there was a way to offer software upgrades through the linc system down the road, similar to Apple through the iPhone.

I'm pretty sure the II uses a flash memory so it could easily to patched or updated.

This might not be the section for this, but have you seen the new Ski 200? That boat is the greatest thing to happen to slalom skiing in a long time. No crazy graphics either.

Love the new LINC system! Perhaps the wakeboard school needs a new tow boat.

The ski and sport 200 are awesome. Anyone know if (and if, when) CC is planning on redesigning the 210 and/or 230 to match the general physique of the 200's? I'm looking to upgrade from a 2001 DD Air Nautique, but it would kill me if I did shortly before a redesign, especially because I like the look of those boats so much.

And don't forget the %5-%10 price increase

HAHAHA exactly what i was thinking.

The 2012 210 and 230 will 'borrow' some things from the 200 but not the physique you are referring to. The Super Airs will remain different I would think. The current 210 layout is perfect IMO. I am glad the 2012 we have on order is very similar to 2009 we have now.

from what i know, only the dash will be different. more buttons/functions on the screen, and the push to start/stop, bilge, etc have been moved a little.

Well, my 2012 210 SANTE is due outa the factory Aug 11, but I won't see her here until the end of September. I have seen a few photos of the changes - but I have been sworn to not publishing them, but I can say the changes are all good. New fabric pattern layout. Pockets in the side for drinkholders, etc - like the older 210's - about time! It was crazy having all that space between the side upholstery & hull & not using it. The LINC2 system deletes all gauges (I'm really not sure about this - I like gauges!) and just comes with a way bigger screen. The old keypad is gone - the new one is much simpler & I think it looks rad! 409HP for the 6l, up from 390. TE comes with Power Prop, too. No tower change - apparently they're sticking with the current model for a few years to come. Battery switch relocated up-front, accessed from panel in bow-walkthru. Digital amps - smaller than previous and gives you your space back in the storage compartment. Other than that, you'll have to wait just like me :-(

@NZ. I was too bummed to learn that gauges have been completely omitted from the dash. An RPM gauge should be there IMO. I think Nautique has made the lowest profile dash possible in a boat to maximize the view from the driver's seat, but nobody driving our 2009 has ever had a problem with the seat flipped up. That said, the new LINC 2 is absolutely sick and a huge upgrade...not just the screen but the functions and 'polish' of the system in general. The keypad needed some redesigning and the new one is very well designed. There are quite a few changes electronically between the 2011 and 2012...all are very well designed and thought out. Also, will make these boats easier to work on and troubleshoot in the future.

I haven't seen the changed fabric pattern layout yet...how drastic are the changes? Knowing the pattern is important when choosing colors. Side pockets coming back to the 210 was exciting for me to learn as well. Can't wait to see your boat. I expect ours to be delivered before the end of Sept. I have asked for photos during production and will post them here if I get them.

Here we go again with the "Look at me!!! I know an you don't!!!"

Did Jeff here say he would kick you off the site or did Bill Yeargin tell you you couldn't have the boat if you showed a picture?

[MattieK27]

I think I might start a poll. Whats more disappointing?

1. Lack of changes to the line

2. Price increase despite lack of changes

3. This thread

Honestly, I am unsure how I would vote. These boats are being made as we speak, yet no one has (or is willing to share) pictures. Bummer...

[nautiquenz]

Geez there's some haters on here! I'm not posting the pics because I made a promise, no other reason. I'm just super stoked to be getting a new tub & yeah, a little worried about the changes but IMHO CC have only ever got better, not worse, so fingers crossed.

[srock]

No gauges.......I don't believe a linc system of any type is an upgrade. And how do you sell boats without telling people what's in them. Must be figuring them out as they go or the marketing department is incomplete with the propaganda.

Haters? Seriously?

Super stoked for ya brah.....

Probably not, but NZ's dealer showed me the same 2012 pics also, but on the proviso we wouldn't publish them as that was the undertaking they had made to CC. Now, what would you do if the same trust had been put in you?
Btw..the 2012 Byerly boat is siiiick!

Trust? Undertaking? I can tell you i wouldnt have gone on a thread where people have already showed frustration at people that say they have pictures, but for some reason or another wont share.

Hey man, we only got to see the pics after we promised not to distribute them. The name of this thread is "2012 Rumors"...not "2012 Rumors Pics Mandatory or Don't Bother Contributing"
