08 212SS questions

[Speedling]

Don't let the drive be a deterrent unless getting a warranty that requires you to bring back. I drove fro Chicago to Maryland for first boat and chicago to tampa for second boat.

The Bimini is smaller on the AR210? I do think I would like the tower also and would add one eventually if I kept the boat. My main reasons for thinking about the 212SS is it only has 80hrs for sure while the other boat says 155 but the meter was put on by the last owner so who knows really. The HO engines are cool but not a deal breaker for me since we will be using this boat for family cruising mostly.

Get the bigger engines. Cant change/fix that later.

I thought the ar210 had the same 160 hp motors. It was the sr and sx with 140?
If the sticker on top of motors is in color they are 160. Greyscale 140

Go for more power and less hours.... the lines of the SS are beautiful.

I bought a 2009 212ss earlier this year and love it. Beautiful boat and fast.

ar210 has 110 hp motors

@MacAR210 In your position, I would buy the ss. You cannot add horsepower, you cannot roll back the hours. It sounds like the ss is the nicer boat with a galvanized trailer, nicer interior, more horsepower, and no tower. you can add the tower, if you look at my earlier post. That link will get a company to install the tower as well.
