In Topic: 2012 210SE

We did a comparison between the 430 HP and 310 HP packages to ascertain the advantages of each. For those who use the boat to travel from point A to point B the 430 HP engines worked best since they turned about 800 to 1,000 RPM less and got relatively the same fuel economy. Obviously the reduced RPM ran quieter as well. For normal cruising and general skiing or tubing the 310 HP package works very well. Since both engine packages run on regular the fuel consumption and consequential expense are barely negligible below 3/4 throttle. Above 3/4 throttle the supercharged engines certainly consume more fuel. If you are in an area where ethanol blended fuels are used we suggest mid grade or premium depending on how often you fill up since ethanol fuels seem to lose their octane and absorb water faster than the older MTBE fuels. If you are considering a WAKE version get the 430 HP version only. With full ballast tanks the boat needs the power plus it is easier for the engines to maintain speed for the skier. Secondly the WAKE version hull is different than the 210 or 210 SE in that it has one less lifting strake at the bow. Thirdly the resale value and desireability will be better with the 430 HP package. Good luck with the new boat!

We do not yet have any pictures of the 180 with the catalytic converter installed. Regarding pricing you will not find it listed on our website or theirs so it would be best to give them a call directly. Ask to speak with Kevin Seeber and he should be able to fill in the gaps.

Kevin, enclosed are the pictures for the 180 catalytic converter taken of a boat in our showroom. Keep in mind this is only one element of the 2013 model. I do not know what changes will be made to the boat or other engine components for 2013 at this time. Seadoo has always tried to keep price increases bearable consequently there may be cost savings measures being considered to offset potential 2013 price increases. Considering the decrease in fuel consumption and extended emission control warranty period the benefits seem to outweigh the cost long term.
