New owner of 2008 210 Coastal. Looking forward to catching fish/crab/prawns, skiing/tubing, and exploring San Juan Islands with family.
Boat is in pretty good shape and looking forward to keeping it performing and looking good...
Thanks in advance for any advice you can forward on the 2008-2014 210 Coastal.

I have the same boat,hardtop,Yamaha 200 4stroke. I’m on my 3rd season with it now and I love it. Handles the chop on the great South Bay on Long Island with ease. Good in the ocean. Nice solid hull. Have done a little traveling with it, from south shore Long Island through the peconic bay around orient and across the Long Island sound to Connecticut. Up the Connecticut river. I put a ss prop on and it made a big difference. The boat gets up In 6seconds and will give you 30 mph at only 4600 rpm,burning about 10 gph. Can get 5700 rpm and over 40, but who needs to burn gas. If you trim it up too high it’ll porpoise a little at high speed, but trim it down a little and it’s smooth. Great fishing setup. Anyway, good luck with the boat. Enjoy.
One more thing. No need to keep 100 gal of gas in there, it adds a lot of weight. I run around a half tank unless I’m taking a trip and will be using it.
