Should I buy this boat?

Boat looks way too clean to have rolled over so I believe hours are honest. Good to know the Excalibur will last that long.

I had an '03 210. Be skeptical of those hours...gauges roll over at 1,100. I sold mine in 2016 with "200" hrs. I was honest with the buyer. That said, even if it's truly 1,400 hrs, the Excalibur will go a lot longer than that.

On its face, it sounds like a super good deal. I'd still like to see pics though.

that's definitely a good price for a well kept 03. if it is indeed in great shape with only 300 hours, you can't go wrong. (beyond just considering its options, etc)

it looks to be very clean.. hull and interior look flawless.. was just concerned with year/price value.. I used to just fill up port ballast and put everyone to one side of the boat to produce that wave on my 05 but those surf shapers will be something I keep in mind. thanks for input

Once you go to a gate/surf shaper you'll never bother to listing a boat over like that again. It makes the boat difficult to handle and it's all around a PITA.

2003 is arguably the best model year of the 99-06 210. If it's clean , you like the price and options , go for it. Exact same performance as your 05. Only thing I will add is that the home made surf gate/suckgates have enabled that hull to finally produce a decent surf wake it seems.

I wakeboard. I had a 2005 210 but wasn't familiar with the 03. Looks to be the same hull shape so I know it's a good wake. Original owner all fresh water use. I'll attach some photos.

Like Charlesml3 wrote, hard to say yes or no based on price only. Depends on intended use and condition. Plus, we're visuals, we need pictures!!

[charlesml3]

Impossible to say without photos. Plus we need to know what you're after. Ski? Wakeboard? Surf? How many people?

found a 03 air 210 With decent hours. Thinking I can get it for 26500 from original owner. What do y'all think?
