Well... it looks like I've pulled the trigger on a 210SE (no wake tower) contingent on whether it will fit in the garage and boy it is definitely going to be a TIGHT squeeze... It's a bit more than I wanted to spend but it has a TON more room than the 180 and has a 4year warranty with 3.9% financing... basically the price is MSRP (by the time the junk fees were added and the rebate was deducted it seemed to be a wash).

Any other 210 owners out there? Any recommendations? I have about a day to tell them it won't fit in my garage if I change my mind. I'm both excited and also wondering if I should spend this much... justifications are the car is paid for, I'll enjoy this instead of spending money going somewhere on vacation, father-son bonding (he's 14) and really it's something that I've always wanted... just hope that it is not a money pit.... Hey... I've cancelled my golf membership too so...why not?

Oh and I never even asked what HP the motors were on this thing...any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Cheers...

I'm a Sea-doo noob and am planning on attending the Atlanta Boat Show next week to drool over the new Challenger 180SE 255HP... Why the 180 you ask? Well it's simple... It will fit in my garage... Of course I'll have to part with my 2008 Waverunner FX140 which I absolutely love. Unfortunately though my dog prefers a boat... So with that said I'm excited to see the 180SE without the wake tower since the boat would be a little too tall for garage storage. With that said I was wondering how good the stereo was... With the waverunner I woud always miss some tunes while cruising the lake. Also, there is not much talk about the itc feature which I believe is new to the 180 or the neutral lock... Does the impeller actually stop? How does the fuel consumption meter differ from the gas gauge? Is there a big difference between the 215HP model and the 255HP model? Anywy just curious to see if anyone has gotten their hands on one of these yet and what their impressions are.
