Kind of thinking about bidding on this one...2007 210 SANTE

[scottb7]

I am kind of thinking about bidding on this one. It is listed on ebay and on dealer web site per link below. Anyone familiar with the dealership? Looks like in pretty good shape. Only thing that was not intuitive to me was line on rudder picture. Not sure if that is a crack or not?

I would rather a year or two newer but this would get me into current 210 hull.

Thoughts?

it looks like a water line to me but is questionable..........i would assume they would FYI the crack if there was one.

Yea I have been watching that one as well. More hours than I would like. Plus it is sold by a dealer which means he wants his cut too. It is a reserve item and a dealer which means it most likely won't hit the high reserve, but who knows. Also no seller history? I am a little skeptical of giving 2k over to someone with no seller history and can't spell originally (oroginally).

If your close and can inspect it might be a good deal depending on the reserve ( I have never understood reserves, why not just start the price at the lowest you would accept)

This is a nice boat IMO and just set your mind on the price. Don't overpay if you have reservations. Get it for the right price and you'll be on your way.

On the crack, I'm with iceman plus I'm thinking it was greasy water. I bet they serviced the rudder packing from above and the first bit of water that came out left a stain of watered down grease. When I've greased my rudder, grease doesn't really come out there (it comes out in the bilge) but sometimes dirty water does if I went all season without greasing it. Or the greasy water could have cleaned off a bit of the rudders patina.

I don't see how it could be a crack. The rudder usually breaks clean off.

I know this dealer well, I live 20 minutes from them. They have a great crew, good people. If you call for info ask for Brian Harlan.

Did they release the griffon in 07? For some reason I'm thinking that was 08...

[lucky7t]

Yes I see the griffin logo and a rear ski pylon. Both don't look stock to me. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm curious about the rear ski pylon. We want one but can't seem to find anybody that can help.

Ski pylon was factory option. Dealer can order all parts for you. Exterior graphics are later than 07. Very nice looking boat!

Does anyone have an opinion about 2007 vs 2008 210? The seating in back is different, but is it a big deal?????

[TxJole]

The flip down seat in the 08 is priceless plus the hinged under seat storage is much better. The 07 has a non user friendly stadium seat. Lots of pins and work not worth flipping it most of the time.

Bought a 206 from this dealer last fall - nothing but good things to say about the buying process and after sale care.

Brian is a Great guy, if Brian is unavailable talk to Erik.

[scottb7]

Yep, I have started conversations with brian. I just can't decide if I should save up another year for a 2008 vs 2009. I like 2008 tower better because I believe it folds down lower and seats.
