New here and thinking Hard about 2011 210

[Chosen1]

Currently have a 2001 Malibu sunscape 23 lsv and was wondering what would be the biggest difference between the two boats?

5 year bumper to bumper no question asked warranty. Plus you will be stepping up to a Correct Craft a boat built like no other. Trust me I've owned many brands and none built with the quality of a CC.

You can search the site and see how people feel about CC boats. I have had a couple below. We can go on and on about CC boats. I have a 210 and love it. Being I moved to a state with a good dealer I will be getting a 230 soon 2013.

Bit of and ego comment, but I'm at work on a Sunday, not where I want to be, sooooo.... You will be stepping up to a classy boat from your BU. The Sunscape you have and I have driven feels like a LINER (Put bay in the front). Not sure where you are in TX, but all the CC dealers there are great. And Last deep down in your gut, you know if you don't buy a CC you will have made a mistake. Or you wouldn't be SKIING this site.

Incorrect, PCM only covers the motor for 3 years... because I ran into a wiring problem on my 2008 210 and PCM did not warranty it, as it was out of warranty...

I can second 210GA's comment. PCM basically told me to go pound sand regarding a bad damper plate in my 2008 210 because it is outside the 3 year warranty (by 4 months at the time I inquired about it).

[TxJole]

Sorry less power plant.

Even with the 2 comments about PCM, they are still the best engine in the business.

[Andrew14]

Up until they started putting Ilmores in MCs, I would definitely have agreed with Crad (PCM is the major reason why I bought my Nautique). But I think Ilmore is going to give PCM a run for their money as far as quality. Probably too early to tell at this point as I think last year was the first year for Ilmore in wakeboats, but they definitely have a solid rep in the racing industry.

Material quality is worlds apart. The cost of the boats reflects this, but it's worth it. I can't speak to the LSV, but take the LXI for example. All the chrome exterior vents are plastic glued onto the deck. The 200 chrome vents are metal and screwed into place. Side by side, one can easily see the differences, and that doesn't account for the materials you can't see. +2 for PCM engines as well!

I briefly thought about buying an LXI next year, since a new 200 is priced a bit out my reach right now, but just can't do it. The buyer's remorse would eat me alive every time I got in my brother's 200.

Thanks for all the input. I am trying now to talk the wife into... Dealer is button and they are great. Bought my used Malibu from them to start

[TxJole]

Buxton is great and the trailers they put under those boats are the best

I would struggle to call my RoadRunner trailer the best......

I would assume since TXJOLE has an 08 that he has a Dorsey trailer which I've been very happy with as well. They just switched from Dorsey last year so 2011 was the first year they started using RoadRunner I believe. That being said, a new boat purchased from Buxton today would have the RoadRunner you're talking about. They do look nice, but can't comment on the performance.

[TxJole]

I have a Ram-lin, Dorsey closed the doors in Jan 2010. Roadrunner have several levels of trailers depending on what the dealer wants to pay.

If it's not a Ram-Lin, it's not the best.
