Al Thank you for starting this new Falcon boat forum. I have a new 2017 F215 Falcon with a Yamaha 250 SHO. Overall it is the best boat I have ever been in.

Guys I am not very good at adding pictures. I have asked a friend to post some of them. Thank you Kerry for helping.
How about giving us some info on the boat? Speed, handling, features, etc?

Needs sportier console and seats

I agree with the seats. Looks like they were sourced from Bass Pro.
The console seems ok for me as it looks simple/clean and they didn't bring it too low where your legs bang against the bottom when hitting 3-4 footers. Seems like a lot of manufactures can't seem to get this right. Could also do without the chrome trim on the bottom of console...black would be my choice.

The boat is set up with a 8"Atlas jackplate. Right now it's running 70. Going to change props and should get 74-75.
The Falcon comes standard with tackle organizer, 112 minkota fortrex, tilt steering, custom steering wheel, stainless steel latches, insulated ice chest, insulated live wells, large live well with center divider. Pumps and back up pumps. A drain plug on the bottom of the live well for cleaning out. Has a rear drain valve on transom no more crawling under the boat to put the plug in.
As far as handling goes it is very good. Handles rough water great. This boat offers alot of space and comfort.
who are the owners? It shouldn't matter, but it almost as though they are going the extra mile to stay "behind the scenes"??
The President of Falcon boats is Stephen Waller (this is Charlie Wallers son who founded bumblebee boats. He has been around boats being made his entire life.) Tim Depriest is another partner he has been in the boating industry his whole life as well. The third and last partner is Jimmy Metts he also owns Tide Water boats. They average 80 boats a month and Jimmy understands what it takes to run an efficient plant and make quantity products. I have had the honor to meet all 3 and I know that they have a great product and the resources to keep on growing and expanding the product line. They already have a 205 model that also is coming along very nice.
I think Ken is referencing 80 Tidewater boats a month.

Yes Jimmy Metts is the owner of tide water boats. They specialize in saltwater / bayboats and yes they turn them out.
Sharp rig for sure!!
Good looking boat. Hope they take off and do well. It'd be great to see them expand their line.
Nice boat!
