I am looking at the 210 challenger and I have the option to buy either a 430 hp or 310 hp. Other than the obvious of more hp, does anyone that has driven both have a preference to one over the other. I'm not particularly interested in higher speed but I don't want to lose pulling power either. Is it worth a $5000 difference? Any advice would be helpful.

What part of the Gulf of mexico are you located? I sell Seadoo boats and have both models in stock. I have test riden the 430 model and it performed similarly to the Yamaha 212SS. About 53 mph top speed. Acceleration is much faster than the 310 model. Top speed on the 310 hp model should be about 45.

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!

Hey guys,

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

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.

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.
