We get what we pay for. Until I can get the 29’ center console Hinkley jet boat I’ll put up with Yamaha level fit and finish. I wasn’t expecting Scout or Yellow Fin build quality for less than $50K. At least its just a million little things instead of major structural failures. I know its bad when the West Marine guy knows my phone number by heart for their reward Program.

Thanks for taking the time the post,

I'm sure somebody in the market for a new 210 FSH will like it but can you give us (mildly interested in new build quality) a bullet point list so I don't have to watch all 20 minutes worth,

For the most part very minor issues and certainly nothing that would stop me from buying again. I've been very happy with my 190. I've owned two larger low production custom boats that certainly were constructed better than the FSH but they were 3 times price so I would expect that. When I was younger I worked at a marina on new and used boats for 3 years. I can tell you first hand none of them are without flaws. Do your research and make a decision that works for you and your pocket book :)

These issues would not change my mind either, but these are basic things that should not happen. Overall, the boat is very solid.

The plates behind the nuts on the screws holding the rod holders on the center console are steel not stainless and should be taken off and just a stainless fender washer put on.FF61AE4E-ACB2-4DDD-A61F-C1681CC108CC.jpegF95FE727-CC0E-49A9-A6AF-E43D4C8C8AE8.jpeg738FC8C5-944F-46ED-AA6A-E6A603E8664B.jpeg

I lie the bullet list idea, I will be looking to purchase one, hopefully in the near future, and having a list to check on before picking up would be great, especially if they are common things.
