Good morning all,

I am a Yamaha Seadoo Honda dealer in Panama City and have just joined this group to learn more about the products I am selling. I have been very active with Yamahajetboaters.com for a few months now and have learned tons. I hope to have the same experience here.

I have been posting videos on Youtube for the past few months and have focused primarily on the Yamaha line but with the introduction of the 21 Challenger this year I have decided to jump in and really focus on the Seadoo product and hopefully offer some unique perspective on the brand and the new products they are offering.

I look forward to learning from all of you,

Have a great day!

Well the videos are about Yamaha boats but there are a couple of things that could be helpful here.

Here's a few of them,

Great work on the videos! Very helpful tips.

I know from reading YJB that you have one of the new 210's on order. Please do a review on it when you get the chance and give us your thoughts of it versus the AR210.

The Seadoo 210 Challenger is already in and in my opinion is about the same as a 212SS. It is 430 hp but the Yamaha 320 hp machine appears to have the same acceleration and top speed. I am going to run them heads up in the spring or maybe sooner if we get some nice weather.

I have a video I just shot of the Seadoo 430 hp 210 SE and will upload soon.

My first trip out was in a light chop and the boat performed well. As of the moment I am very satisfied with the results of the initial test. I have more testing to do and more conditions to put it in so keep checking back here and I will post the results as I get them.

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out for the video. Any thoughts on the fit and finish of the 210?

Yeah, the fit and finish this year looks to be a lot better than previous boats I've seen. I like the upholstery and controls. The fiberglass is still not finished out very well on the inside of the storage compartments. You can get shards of fiberglass in your fingers if you're not careful. But all in all I think it is still a big improvement over last year's boats.

Hey guys,

I just posted the first two of three videos on the new Challenger 210 that we made last week. Enjoy!

[seadooofpanama]

Here's the newest video on the 210 Challenger SE. It discusses the new instrument cluster on the 210 and gives you first hand knowledge of what it will be like to own one.



Enjoy!
