The graphic is sexy, the tower and windsheild are ok and the dash....I just threw up alittle in my mouth. The 03 Dash is ten times better, I wounder if you could mod it to fit the 03 dash/gauges pod in it.
it looks like a combination of the Griffins from Shaun Murrays Hyperlite boards over the years. I think the graphics are sick, better then the oval AN by far and a lot more original than the Tribal Frat boy tattoo graphics, those suck ***. And if you dont like the Griffins the blue one on this post looks nice and smooth and less in your face. I likey!
I don't get the need to change the dash. A lot of people complain about the dash here and elsewhere. Yes the dash is understated but I see that as a good thing - adding to the overall classic lines of the boat. 'Boring', 'old-fashioned' are the comments I see. Anyone who takes a look at the dash and says it is boring needs to consider the alternative. The dashboards that some manufacturers are putting out right now are downright goofy today, and you can only go downhill from goofy; trust me. I think the dash will stand the test of time better than what most manufacturers are putting out today. Of course - just my opinion.
I didn't much care for the current dash in pictures, but now that I have one, I like it. It is very low, and allows you to see more through the windshield.

I have to agree with Jeff. In pictures, it does look out of place and bulky. However, when I sat in the 210 in person at the boat show, I suddenly changed my mind. The left and right guages are angled in and up a little towards the driver. They really aced the ergonomics (sp) in this boat--if you were to look straight through the windshield (which is now possible), you wouldn't even know that there was a dash there. Yet, at the same time, all guages are easily read from the driver. I think the black will be a nice contrast to the white vinyl--it might look very nice on a gray/black boat...

I have to agree with former posts. I was a little shocked at the dash when I first saw it. Actually I didnt know what to think about it. However, after driving the 210 it proved to be very driver friendly. There is not a wake specific boat on the market today with a better view from the helm. And the best part is, there is no billet aluminum bling on the dash.
Guys, I don't think the question is whether the new dash design is better than what everyone else has to offer, but rather that it is just "ok" compared to what CC offered previously. Aesthetically, this new pod is lacking.
Bulky Corners, Faux stiching, Square in shape, Too much chunk
It just doesn't go. The "new" lost its flow and and got stuck in a mess of "Square vs. Circle." It just looks cheap. Honestly.
Sorry Wake_fun, I think it's just everyones natural instinct to throw in their two cents... So lets recap, dash is lacking... but the graphics:
Nice, it will definitely be a hit. I agree with those who say it should be brought below the rub however. This new graphic seems to be easier to match every paint color as well. That, in my opinion is a fantastic move! The new green is great as well. A true "classic" looking shade there. I am definitely liking CC's new direction.
