great looking boat!1 year and 3 months with my Challenger 180! See plenty of sea doos in my area! Mostly older 16’ers but occasionally the odd 210 or 230. I can count on one hand the number of Yamaha’s I’ve seen on my lake. No dealer close by unfortunately :/

i wish they would.Seadoo needs to bring back jet boats
love it!BRP ended the relationship with Vortex, so maybe a return is in the cards? We considered the switch, but wife hated the PWC handlebar/controls.
I finally got back into boating, i picked up a used 2012 Challenger 210SE w/twin 215’s.
Really happy with it (been out on it 3 of the 4 last weekends)View attachment 163944

Not sure about the bow being an issue, I am assuming BRP designed it for visibility advantages?….but my boat does 53mph loaded with people, gas and gearWhat's with that low bow? Is it mandatory to stuff it every time you can? Joking side, it seems low!
I wanted a 230 because of the larger bow, and capacity is 12 (instead of 10). BUT the walk-through transom and Transat loungers on the 210 are awesome! Plus the 210 has true 1-lever operation, whereas the 230 has 2 levers (separate throttle and forward-neutral-reverse).love it!
down the road I want to move into a 210 or 230

i think you may be looking at the wrong picture. the second picture (with the admiral reading a book) is the stern lounge seats. bow on my 180 is about the same as a yamaha 190.
If you are referring to the “book reading” pic that is my wife on the stern loungers. The 210’s have a neat fold-out lounger. This feature, the Throttle-by-wire, 1-lever operation even with twins, and closed-loop cooling is what lead me to choose BRP over Yamaha:What's with that low bow?
