Hi all
I am looking to buy a 2010 Yamaha AR210
They don’t know the hours of the engines no hours meter on it. What do you think guys it is actually 12 years old should I have to avoid it?

If it's at a dealer they should be able to hook up to it with their computer to read the hours.
How does the hull look? any gouges or deep scratches?
Is the upholstery in good shape?
Has the scupper valve been changed to a stainless one?
Do the cleanout plugs come out easy and install easily?
Where has this boat been used? Fresh or salt water?
Does everything work as it should? Horn, no wake mode, radio, lights on boat and trailer?
Are they willing to go with you out on the water for a test drive?

Hi
It’s a dealer they said everything is working on it. I will ask them for a test drive for sure. I don’t see any deep scratches. The upholstery is good shape only a really light brown colour on the top of the upholstery. Probably they use it in salt water.

I would question why they can't give you the hours. A dealer that does not have the software to talk to the engines would be illegitimate in my view.

The software is not expensive. You could purchase it yourself and check the hours. You just need a laptop that has Windows XP on it.
