    At first look, the jury is still out and it may be that I just don't like the color selections. Not much to say without riding one, but the big plus...no decals to worry about. The big negative....cooler. ???

      If they used the right soft sided cooler (AO Cooler) it's better then any igloo they sent out before.

          It would be awesome to sell your boat back to you. It would be cool story. Don't worry you have a year or two.

            Couple other things noticed
            No lifting ring on the front
            Add about 400 lbs to the boat weight
            Looks like they recessed the nss but that would have caused the hull mould change
            I don't see the word correct craft anywhere on the boat.
            Looks like the tower has different support braces.
            Are those cup holder in the bow area on the deck in front of the window. I hope not. I see that being a weak point next to the cleat.

                      My personal opinion:

                      Hate the helm, specifically the steering wheel and offset screen, yes these might be old issues but they could have fixed them.
                      Hate the retro graphic. I think they may be been on the right path, but didn't execute well.
                      Hate no reversible seat.
                      Not sold on the lack of vents above a falling rubrail.
                      Like the deck color option, but am not convinced i would tick that box.
                      Love the transom, the steps, the vents, the look, everything.
                      Seadek on the tip of the bow is functional, but lack of lifting ring?

                      Is it me or do the side, underseat lockers now look incredibly inaccessible with the way they fold sideways rather than from an end?

                        Seriously, water spots are unbelievable this year... both on the gelcoat and on the windows. I have tried everything. HotSauce and Boat Candy Speed Gloss did not work.

                        I will report back on the Meguires!
                        We have a place at Possum Kingdom. The water is very salty, especially during this drought since it's mostly the salt fork of the Brazos feeding the lake. We use vinegar/water at a 50/50 ratio. Very cheap and works great. The conditions are the worst I've seen in a long time. After a few hours, the boat looks like someone threw milk all over it.

                          GC, I tried pure vinegar on a rag on the windows to remove the spots.... no luck. rubbed crazy hard, several times, same area, no results. spots stay.

                          I need an intervention or something.

                          I have a bottle of that Meguires spot remover on order, we'll see if that helps, we have tons of water here this year, no drought here. I dont know what the **** is going on, but the water spots are terrible.

                            Along with the top deck the gas cap seems to have changed...

                                Can someone clarify/confirm if the hull changed on the 2014 210 and 230? I heard / was told that the hull (portion in contact with the water) was the same as the previous 210s/230s, just the top deck changed (thus the wake would be identical to the 2013 models). Thanks in advance.
