@HangOutdoors the ride is very dry so far. Honestly we went through a storm the other day on the lake with 2-3’ whitecaps in small intervals and it handled it well at high speed. I haven’t given it fair shot yet so I will run it more and see how it performs in a variety of conditions.
@FSH 210 Sport the low speed handling is excellent and yes I’m familiar with TDE. Parking is a breeze! I feel it needs the vectors or cobras for higher speed maneuvering. I feel like I get stuck in waves / wakes when traveling on a parallel heading. It’s annoying. A little more bite on tracking would help I think. Idk. Do you have either cobras or vectors on your 210?
@fatboyroy you don’t have to twist my arm to brag about the new boat
. Thank you! Honestly I was mediocre on the color until I saw it in person. It’s pretty slick! I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on the color after people stop staring at me funny wondering where the outboard is haha!
A note for anyone with the fly by wire controls. I was beaching the other day when a guy yelled at me to reverse thinking I was going to hit bottom with my inboard foot lol. Unfortunately, I listened (I had no idea why he was yelling but I reacted) and when I did this in the shallow sandy area, the boat immediately threw a code, and I lost complete control of the engines. Throttles would not respond at all. Scared the crap out of me to be honest because there were lots of boats around, but thankfully we were able to manually push it on shore without me taking another boat out (though my pride took a hit. Made me look like a rookie
) Anyways, to make a long story short rocks got in one of the buckets and jammed it very quickly. Once I got the rocks out, everything was fine, but I just wanted to bring that up for anyone who may not know about Jetdrives and small rocks. The place we hang out at called sandy beach, has very coarse sand, which is the perfect size for jamming these buckets up. I think the code was GMU08 or something similar. Should’ve written it down in hindsight. Just wanted to mention this, because I lost all throttle control in a matter of seconds and I wanted to make sure other people are aware of this. Could get you in a sticky situation if you’re not prepared. Also, the fix is easy, just shake the bucket until the rocks fall out. Lol.
