    797 vs 210 elite

    I have rode in a 797 and love the ride and handling. I was just wondering the difference in ride between the two? I also like the size of the front deck of the 797 how big of a size difference is the 210?

    6 inches
    Believe the 210 will ride a little better in rough water and is a little faster.

    I feel like the 797 will be easier to fish out of in rough water from what little videos I have seen.

    Love my 797

    Yeah I am not worried about speed what I am looking for is the space for all my partners gear during tournaments which the 797 looks to have quite a bit more

    I believe the 210 actually has more room for your partner stuff, unless you let him use room upfront.
    The 210 back compartments are a nice size.

    If room is important the 797 is the one.Than the 210 ,496,596 etc .The 797 is beast and in open water it's a great rig.Dock fishing you will want a 18 -19 ft boat .

    210 is wider than the 797 at the trolling motor foot pedal well area. 797 is 40 inches across and the 210 is 56 inches across. The only thing wider than the 210 is the Falcon F215 which is 57 inches across and the Falcon F205 at 63 inches across . The 210 ione of the widest boats in that area under 21 foot on the market. If that is what you are looking for in the front deck in that area.

    Yeah I think the 797 is what I am going to go with. What is going to be the price difference roughly between the two

    I had a 210 and my only complaint was the giant single storage in front center. 797 has 3 separate compartments in that same spot. Everybody is different but that makes storage more easier to access and organize IMO.

    Then you need to look at the rear storage on the 797 and see if it meets your needs.

    A Yellowfin 24CE will float in 10" of water with a 400 HP and is 24'10" with decks on front and back. It will do all you need. LOL HA LOL

    I would say Hickory Legend knows both boats very well he will give good advice on the boats.
