I'm interested in a 2006 210 with sub 200 hrs. Used in ~10ppt water. Price seems reasonable. Stock ballast. Looking to wakeboard start surfing and general family boating. Grew up with i/o's but really want a Vdrive. Haven't seen the boat in person but pics look good. How concerned should I be about seemingly low hours and brackish water use? Has the freshwater flush kit. Any advice? Hoping to take a look at it soon. Thanks.

How will you use it?
How did they clean it after salt use? Ask about their routine. Given low hours doesn't mean they are meticulous about cleaning and flushing.
Leaving salt in the engine to corrode once could cause significant problems I think.
Look for corrosion. Salt gets to everything. It sneaks under powder coating. Gets under stainless handles and can leave rust stains.
Gets in the bilge and gets on engine fasteners. Gets on top of vdrive unit.
But with that few hours and proper cleaning and flushing it just might have zero impact.
Of course negotiate price accordingly.
