The 210 is a SOLID boat! Said it several times. I agree 100% with the no frills and disagree with the premium pricing. The Charger 210 is still 10-15K less than a comparable Ranger and Vexus.
Not knocking Basscat at all but their boat is a hybrid I haven't seen one in person so I don't know exactly what they blended. The Charger Elites are pure Champion hull their is nothing else to know.

The 210 can be bought in the low $60s, equipped similarly to the Ranger C boats? That would put it in similar territory to Nitro from a pricing perspective. It will definitely be a candidate for my next boat if that’s true.

Not sure what a 210 Elite costs, but a Vexus VX20 and a Ranger Z520c are a $10k difference. The Vexus is mid $80s and the Ranger is mid $70s

Loaded out can you even get a 210 to that amount with a 250?
Yep 210 loaded is around 90,000 but you can at least go across a rough lake and not need back surgery
Last year I got a quote for a bare bones 210 boat, motor, 8" manual jackplate,trailer, three batteries, no trolling motor, and no electronics. If I'm remembering correctly he said it would be around 64-65. After a few trips in this tin thing I am wishing I had pulled the trigger.
Well Ken released video 1 of his Ranger, now those guys can cry about his review too. He has the BassCat guys crying and the Charger guys crying.
I am struggling to see how that boat is as nice as a Z21 Pro that comes loaded to the hilt for that price. If one forgets brand perception and honestly goes feature by feature the Z21 is nicer IMO.
The Z21 is a huge boat! I actually like the layout on the Z20 better though - my opinion. There are some things on the Nitros that really impressed me, wiring being one of them.
The Nitro Pro boats are great deals. The Z21 Pro loaded with PPs or Talons, Solix 12 and Solix 10 and #112 Ultrex is probably the best deal going
.
I love the Nitro Pro z21. It’s a candidate for my next boat. It’s a heck of a nice boat, wide, and a fantastic value

What people don't realize, or take into account is the 210 is more or less a "custom build". They were never meant to be a cookie cutter... So you're gonna pay a premium... Dan
true as with all charger boats any color and just about anything you can imagine they will do.Playcraft is the same way all custom builds nothing cookie cutter about it
Whats custom about it? Colors? Layout is the same, every manufacturer has an options list, low production numbers are a result of demand.
