2012 Non LINC Dash with Analog Gauges

[aarond0083]

With all of the whining I've read online about a digital screen only dash I figured this warrantied a new thread. Here is a YouTube video of a loaded 2012 210 with the new three in one analog gauges. Notice the ballast fills have manual rocker switches down by the throttle.

The new red metal flake is sick btw...kinda wish I would have ordered that for our 2012 boat. I was hesitant to go with that much flake mainly cause it's not color matched warrantied like solid colors.

Great video by N3 too btw, thanks!

I must say, I'm not sure why all the controversy. As shown, one can deck out a std boat as they see fit. It is more cost-effective to go Team, however, depending on how deep into the option list you go.

Now that's a dash. And that red flake is sick

Pictures, again thanks to N3.

I'll take that one please! I'm guessing a boat optioned out like that (versus the Team with Linc) is going to be $8k or so cheaper? Anyone know if I'm in the ballpark?

It's more cost effective to get the Team Edition if adding all the same options minus just the LINC I thought?. Also, the Standard comes with paddle wheel speed control and not Zero Off like the Team. I'm sure the Zero Off could be added however. There are other small differences such as no CMD7. Just the CMS1 remote with a hidden box/preamp that powers the in boat speakers. Having no CD player isn't a big deal in my opinon as who isn't using MP3 players these days.

I'd like to know where the gauges are for ballast levels if you have an analog dash. Can't seem to see that from the video anywhere.

Ballpark, the difference is closer to $3,400 cheaper (MSRP), since they added the stereo. My numbers are from a the 200 price list, which shouldn't make a difference when it comes to the Linc. Basically no Linc or ZO in the N3 boat. Probably not a question for this thread, but how much does ZO matter for wakeboarding, versus the std cruise? The std cruise is pretty nice - I've used it numerous times. If it could be set to B2, it would be even better:-)

That boat is perfect! Love the gauges.
The 4K saved vs. TEAM could be spent on something else OR another upgrade like a ZR-409..........

I was wondering same thing as Aaron, how do you tell how full ballast tanks are? Probably can't tell. Also, do you really have to have paddle wheel for standard speed control? Frankly, that seem's unreasonable.

Are you sure you can anything other then 12 oz can up and out of cup holders that are now set back? I think regular open top cup could spill if you have to lift and angle up.

Even if you save some money, wouldn't your resale be lower later due to not having "team edition"?

Personally for me since money is an issue I am going to look for either 2008 or 2009 210 with fct2. Fct3 is too tall, and 2011 an 2012 are out of my price range.

Aaron, your 2009 is best set up...You got it right, on that one!

You don't need gauges. Just fill the tanks til they overflow, then empty on the fly to adjust wake if needed. No gauge is one less thing to worry about. What is the price on the best stereo option and what does it include?

I agree 100% - I really wish Aaron was a little closer to me.

I have all these guys wanting my boat...someone please buy it! Haha. White Lake Marine can safely wrap it and ship the boat anywhere.

And I would agree the 2009 with the FCT-2 is an awesome setup. I am going to miss the tower for sure but the Coastal Edition is bigger on the wish list for us.

I better go buy a new boat since I can't see my ballast level and I'm still using a paddle wheel on my PP

The upper right hand gauge shows the ballast tanks, water temp, cruise speed, depth, etc. You just toggle thru the menu for the one you want. At least that't how my 2011 standard is.

Yeah...and you got no supercharger either. How are you surviving?
