220 - Here it is!!

[NautiqueJeff]

Great shots, Floyd! I'm heading down in the morning. Here are a few more that White Lake sent over.

Carry a little extra money with you. Shannon hooked me up on some ski gloves and a new rope and handle. The price she gave me was unreal. She is giving a discount to PN members as well as EORG members. If you happen to be a member of both as you and I are you get both discounts.

That tower is Ginormous! Great looking boat. Bad part is I'll have to wait 15 years until I can find an affordable used one.

[FatBoy]

Oh yea, the CC rep on site told me the boat has 800 pounds of ballest.

[FatBoy]

Just got word that that connection on the back of the boat is indeed a fresh water flush connection, which will make running the boat out of the water MUCH easier and cleaner. Thanks CC for this great feature! I'm sure the dealers will love that one too.

That's nothing new. I have that option on my 2005 SV-211.

to sad cc is going from functional sport boats with clean lines to gadget loaded chrome logo here, special seats there limos! sorry :-(

[Laptom]

Thanks for the pics! I would say that this sport boat is very functional! Not only gadget loading. Can anybody say where the back of the midle seat goes when not being used? They said the boat would be drive by wire, is this true? And most important....

PICS OF THE WAKE!

Carry on.

Hmm, really? I didn't know that. Well, it is a good feature, no matter when they started doing it!

[jbwake]

I'm with FatBoy. The fresh water flush connection has been an option for years. Handy for flushing the boat after use it in salt water. That one looks to be a flashier stainless version of the plastic flush connection we've had on all our boats.

I'd hazard to guess it will remain to be an option??

My first impression of the interior layout when I first saw it reminded me of an I/O. But now that I see the practicality of what CC has done and this new changable middle seat thing its growing on me quickly.

The way the tower is mounted to the deck is pretty cool, I like that a lot. This thing is 22 ft. w/o platform, right? Any bow shots?

CC really put a lot of thaught into this boat. They got all the little things that you will see other companies copy soon, like the handle under the tower for the passanger seat, like in a car.

I agree w/ Daytomman, not sure if I want to see it in person or I dunno how I'd feel about the 216...

P.S. The only negative I have about this boat is the cooler and its placement--it sucks!!! That is the one thing that is not practicle about this boat. It takes up way too much storage. But anyway, can't have your cake and eat it...

I have a 05 211 TE and the cooler is the stupidist option i have ever seen. Its a $20 cooler you could get at walmart, placed in an impractical location. We tried it once and if you are really hard up you can maneuver a a drink out of it through the walkthrough door, or you can make everybody get out of the observers seat and get to it from there. You n eed to know brail if you care about what you are getting out of it because you surely can't see into the cooler through the door. But, i would recommend you order the $350 cooler option because if you remove the access door in the walkway it makes a great sub vent and you can get to other stuff besides the cooler in there more easily. to remove the door you just take out the 10 or so screws that hold the hinge, and remove the hydraulic arm. Also on the 211 the best place for the cooler is on top of the rear hatch walkthrough, it was made to hold a cooler or large fat sac for surfing.

I'm with you on that. Just say NO to bling, bling!

However, I do like having an improved layout. The smaller front seating is a plus, and just getting junk behind doors is nice.

I do, however, like the clean and simplistic graphics of the 2006 196. Must be my age. :mrgreen:

Yes the boats are throttle by wire through the whole line up. The boat is growing on me quickly. I would love to see some other color combos though. The storage in the boat has to have every other company beat when you compare the same size to each company.

Sorry to be the burden of bad news, but the pics you see are just works of an extremely skilled photoshop artist--the real boat doesn't exist yet... sorry... :|

[jhiestand]

I have to agree with what a few others have said in that it reminds me of an I/O. While I do think there is a place for the number of excellent features CC has incorporated into this model, I feel like ones like myself that prefer old-school features such as low freeboard, a non-wraparound windshield, non-"bubbly" lines, a clean transom, clean graphics, etc. are going to be left out in the cold. Hopefully CC will retain a more traditional boat such as the 210 for those of us mired in the past!
