My First Blog ever! And there isn’t a better topic than the 210 Challenger SE 430 HP ....

I am still thrilled to drop her in the lake, it’s been 4 weeks now and I am still not sleeping properly because I am looking forward to getting out for another day. Work is really getting in the way, as we hope that an Indian summer will bless us here in Vancouver. My brother and I had our 5 kids with my wife in the boat for an entire day and there was plenty of space and room to move around. Eat lunch go tubing and plenty of power to go skiing, just a great pleasure craft.

However not all is perfect when talking about the dream machine. I have 18 hours on her; she has had the 10-hour maintenance and inspection done. The list reads similar to the ones below. There was a recall on a switch that prevents the motor starting when she is in neutral, that hasn’t been sorted yet waiting for parts. The steering was also 180 d off and the shop recalibrated which has helped but I think the real issue is the starboard motor runs 150 rpm higher than the port side. This issue may be minor but I intend to have it looked in to. The ski ramp settings arent per the manual I will have the shop check that out. I don’t have a water temp gauge but I do have altitude reading (not sure why either). It did come in useful when we went to the interior. Top speed yesterday Aug 23 rd was 53 mph. Serious Machine.

The dealer has been extremely helpful; the warranty I got with it is 4 years, bumper to bumper. So its just a matter of communicating the issues with the dealer during the off season and getting it sorted out.

Congrats on the new boat and glad to hear you are enjoying it. Yeah since you are under warranty don't stress about it - explain to the dealer what is going on and they will take care it.
