2014 ar210 or 2010 sx210 help for it..

[sky11sky]

Hi guys I need help for I'm looking a yamaha 21 ft boat but I'm so confused there is a boat 2014 ar210 but 500 engine hours also other boat I'm interesting 2010 sx210 200 engine hours what should I do.?
thank you people

Are those engine hours correct? I don't see how someone could put 500 engine hours on a 2014 boat.

But what exactly is your question? What do the boats look like (condition wise). Need more info.

 

[sky11sky]

Yes engine hours correct I was wondering if I get the 2014 ar210 engine will be good enough to use more ? Or better get lowest engine hours 2010 sx210 ?

 

[ToddW850]

Wow. That's a ton of hours for a 2014 boat. These engines are near bullet proof, however, that's still a lot of hours. I'm not 100% but I've heard the hours on these engines are not an issue until you get to 800 or 1,000 hours. Again, just what I've read somewhere and can't confirm.

200 hours for a 2010 is a non issue.

What are the conditions of both boats?

 

[sky11sky]

Conditions are good 2014 looks like new but 500 engine hours I'd maybe they like to hang out everyday 2010 is looking good doesn't have any bad cosmetic stuff both look good I was wondering 2010 engine old 2014 new engine or both boat same engine ?

 

[ToddW850]

Same type engine in both boat I believe. I believe both are the 1.8 engines. I'd say it depends on the price. What are they asking?

 

[sky11sky]

2010 $22k 2014 $24k and no both of them 1.1 engine or there is one more sea doo wake 2009 22ft $24k

 

[ToddW850]

Both of those sound like good deals.

Without seeing them, here is just my opinion. If you plan on boating quite a bit, I'd go with the 2010 with lower hours. If you're gonna boat occasionally and want a newer boat, then you could lean toward the 2014 with higher hours.

depending on your location get ahold of wes at tommys florida dealership and ask him about my 2013 ar210 i traded in, has plenty of add ons and low hours like 40 i believe

@dustinjean

im at Miami idk where is that store but I can look at it.

@ToddW850
I'm planing to use a lot on here always summer lol

 

[ToddW850]

Right on. Well 500 hours is starting to get up there, but that boat is only a year old. So that's not a bad deal in my opinion. As long as they changed the oil every 100 hours. Might see if they'd still come down just a little more. 200 hours is more reasonable, but the boat is a little older. Still not bad at all either.

Unless that SeaDoo Wake looks flawless I would walk away. That year's boats had the older style Rotax engine, and the throttle controls were very different. You have separate engine sticks and a reverse bucket stick.

500 hours on a boat in one year....wow. Something doesn't seem right.

If I were you, Id look into some boats further north. Maybe West Palm or JUpiter area. Its not that far, but less likely you will buy a lemon of a boat. Good Luck!

2014 ar210 looks awesome but again 500 - 561 exactly a lot I think best for me 2010 210sx unless if I could find 2008 or 2009 ar230 they say MR1 engine is the best thank you guys for advices

 

[OrangeTJ]

I'm having a hard time understanding how somebody could put 500 engine hours on a boat in a year, unless the boat was "for hire" or something. You'd have to boat almost every day to get those kind of hours. Whatever. One thing I do like about the newer model over the older is the swim deck layout. The lower section is closer to the water and there are some actual flat upright surfacs where speakers can be mounted and such. OTOH, seems like people are seeing somewhat lower top speeds on the newer hull 210s as opposed to the previous generation. Not sure why, but seems like thay are 5 mph or so slower on top...or at least that's what some owners are reporting.

 

[dustinjean]

@sky11sky i believe my old boat is at their clearwater florida location but its not on their website yet, email wes@gettommys.com that is who sold me my axis and took my yamaha trade in site unseen and even delivered and picked my boat up from 12 hours away

 

[bronze_10]

are you sure it isnt. 56.1 hours or something? 500 hours in a year... someone smarter than me do the math on that...

 

[sky11sky]

dustinjean I couldn't find out but there few out there.

bronze_10 no I'm not mistaken it's 561 engine hours it's crazy idk how but 561

Also want to consider if you will want a tower....if you have kids that may want to wake board/surf...then you will regret not getting one with a tower (ask me how I know). 500 hours in one or even two seasons is crazy....that is 2 hours of driving every other day.....perhaps the owner commuted to work in it every day?????? CRAZY There are plenty of boats out there with WAY fewer hours.
