It was worth the wait....

$1000 for a 3 speed heater seems a bit steep... :?:

Agreed...

I paid less than $500 for the M2O to install the heater (somewhere in the low $400's if I remember correctly) and they had no difficulty. I'll take some photos and post them soon.

Thanks all.. I thought it was out of range.. but they said they just weren't sure what it would take.. I think they wanted to make sure they were covered.. better to quote high and come in low than the other way around.. regardless, I'll wait on tyler0's pics.

Jeffsv211,

Sorry it took so long. Here are the pics of the heater duct locations. You can't see really well but the one under the dash (next to the EQ) has directional vents in it like a car air vent.

Nautique should be paying attention to where you put those vents , much more functional that the way they come stock.

That boat looks real good. I'm stoked to her how that ZR6 is. My 210 TE is being put together at my dealer rite now, I got that engine but I've never been in a boat that has it. So I'd like to hear your take on it since I won't be on the water for another week or so. Any break-in tips you come up with would be cool.

[CrazyLarry]

Of course now that you have your boat, I doubt you'll be spending as much time online talking boats with people like me wishing mine was ready.

The ZR-6 is an awesome engine. My next boat will have one. I have been in several boats with the ZR-6 and it just rocks! See below for the break-in procedure.

CrazyLarry,

I'm happy with every penny spent on the ZR6. The horsepower is great and the closed water cooling is really nice as I run in salt water a fair amount. Experienced drivers are surprised at the mid-band power and have to learn to get off the gas much sooner than usual before the perfect pass kicks in. I've had several pulls where the driver blew right past the perfect pass and I was doing 30+ mph before adjusting the throttle back.

As for the break-in I did the first two hours on delivery day with my dealer. Great way to get to know the boat and make sure the break in gets started properly. If at all possible I would try and do the same with your new boat.

Of course now that you have your boat, I doubt you'll be spending as much time online talking boats with people like me wishing mine was ready.

Actually having the boat just fuels the fire even more!
