    NEW ‘19 210! Last minute opinions wanted before ordering

    I’ll try this one more time, hoping for more comments than my last post. Will a GS20 or a 210 surf better? I’ve heard. I’ve heard it both ways and maybe that means it’s a toss up? I’m ready to order a custom order 2019 210 on Monday and was hoping to hear some opinions from people with first hand experience owning or surfing either. I’m still on the fence slightly just because I like the look of the GS20 but my dealer said the 210 will surf better and that’s more important to us. Thx in advance! Can’t wait to surf these alaska lakes!

    Just order the 210 . Hands down out of the box a better surf wave than the GS20. You won’t be disappointed

        Options? You mean like, the upgraded stereo, transfer remote, surf select, pro ballast, 8.8 tower speakers, maybe the upgraded board racks .....maybe a couple of others....

            All of what I listed there and also the heater & bow filler cushion. I think that’s about it.

              OK, some things you really should consider:

              - Heated Seats - You're in Alaska. I'd think you'd want all the heat you can get.

              - Mirror: Premium Oversided. This should be a "must have." It's not very expensive and way, way better than the stock mirror.

              - Walk-Thru Air-Dam. Inexpensive. Will keep the cabin MUCH warmer.

              - Bimini? I don't know much about boating in Alaska but here in NC a bimini is a must-have.

                Honestly if you are that on the fence between 2 boats id make a real effort at demoing them both. If you don't have the weather or dealer support where you live right now I would wait and go try them somewhere else now or in the spring . You are spending a lot of money, whats a quick plane ticket down to a ''southern'' dealer worth to be 100% sure you are happy? Everyones opinions differ, only you know what you really want. There are lots of 210's and GS20's for sale at dealerships with plenty of options.

                  All of the options you suggested have paid off already! Thanks Charles! Here she is in the water. After the dealer test drive and before the crew showed up! Big Lake Alaska 5/31/19 Click image for larger version

                        Nicely done! That looks awesome. Did you go heated seats?

                          Yup! Heated seats, heater, underwater light, upgraded stereo (sub and 4 8.8’s) .... I will never forget my first weekend on this bad boy!

                              Sweet 210. Have loved mine since the maiden voyage as well.

                              Could never not have a bimini or have the dark vinyl down this way or you would roast!

                              Enjoy!
