We've had a great time so far with this boat. I get compliments every time I have it out and whenever I show people pictures. I'm definitely glad I listened to everyone here and went with the bigger boat. I don't think a single person said go with the 210. About 10 days after I bought this boat, I found out that we were expecting our third child, so the room will definitely go to good use. My wife and kids haven't gotten up to the bow to ride yet because it's too windy for my 1 year old, but it's my second favorite spot in the boat, next to the captain's chair. The engines have plenty of power for a family and I rarely get above 30 MPH with two kids aboard. It feels like there is still a ton left above that too. I was surprised at the amount of power required to put the boat on plane but I am glad I have the extra power as I just got a wakeboard and I'm sure will be pulling tubes soon. It seems pretty reasonable on fuel as well and we've burned about 1/8th or a little less of a tank each time we've gone out though we spend more time on the swim platform than we do riding. The kids just absolutely love it. My 4 year old told me that our boat is her favorite when previously she was telling me she "wanted a boat like Grandpap's." Yesterday, she informed us that his boat "isn't her favorite anymore" as we were all anchored along a sandy beach. My oldest daughter thinks the head compartment is just the greatest thing and loves to go in there--this alone was probably worth going with the 230 series to me.
I mentioned a few issues with the boat above; the first was that the boat was left "in the woods" so the covers were destroyed and discarded. There are zero issues with the hull or any staining or anything, though the trailer did have some evidence of being under the trees on one of the fenders. It had an aftermarket cover but it was a pain in the ass to put on as it required tying to the trailer so I bought a used Yamaha shipping cover. That works well but it doesn't seem to breathe as well as I'd like so I may just have to spring for the ridiculous $550 mooring cover. Since I boat in brackish water, I wash and spray the whole thing down completely inside and out when I get back home so it's soaking wet. The shipping cover is vented, but I still find that it's wet inside even after a few days of being covered. This cover may have to be delegated for off season or long term storage use. I guess it's possible that this would happen with the mooring cover too but I just don't want to end up with moisture issues.
The bimini cover was also ruined and discarded, which is a shame because he had an extended one that is apparently an option and covers the whole back of the boat. This was not a big deal for me as none of my family gets sunburned easily so I will get a replacement when I run across a decent price.
The carpet was a bit stained on one side but I wasn't really planning on using that anyway with this brackish water we boat in. Seems like another thing to clean. I think the stains may come out but I didn't even bother and put it in the basement. Most of it looks brand new and there is just some staining on the one side. I was expecting it to be much worse when he told me the covers had been ruined and the carpet was stored in the boat as well.
The final issue was that the depth finder wasn't working but I didn't determine this until the sea trial. It has an aftermarket Humminbird unit in it but he didn't install the transducer when he found out that the hull had to be drilled. He lost the transducer so it only works as a GPS/Navigation/Speedo unit for now, and I haven't really used that yet but it is a nicer unit than I would have probably bought anyway. Also as soon as I got the boat home I looked behind the dash and found that the stock depth finder was simply disconnected and was able to fix that in 2 minutes.
I've also changed the oil in both motors and replaced the plastic scupper valve with a stainless steel one. I do need some guides for the trailer but other than that, it came with everything needed to go out on the water--life jackets, fire extinguisher, anchor, etc.
All in all I think it was an excellent purchase and I'm really happy with it. Thanks again for all the assistance.
