Sweet ...

[Mizzou211]

Thanks a lot! Now I have to go get a rag to wipe up the drool from my desk and keyboard!

That's PURDY!!

Is there 2 lids and storage 'inside' of the big center storage or is my eyes playing tricks on me?

Kelly must be related to the owner of that night vision camera company. I get they are cool and work great, but to make them a stock item on the 2 elite hulls is mind boggling to me for multiple reasons.

[wishitwasbigger]

there are two lids inside with a small amount of storage below them.

I like the new seats!

Good God that new Merc is hideous. Good looking boat though.

[Sports1]

I think the overall look is pretty good imo.

Nice! The merc is pretty hideous, not sure why the designers have all gone to the sharp pointed looking designs. Curves are sexy, points are not.


Who wants to the one to ask the price on it?


Did anyone look at the 210 they have for sale? The hull color??? It’s half black and half white, I’ve never seen that before.

I like the color on that 210!

I like the new Merc but definitely think they could have made the motor match the boat better. The black and red is sexy in itself but doesn’t really go with the blue and silver

Maybe change the red to blue or silver? Does merc offer that?

[Sports1]

I think so.

Price is $66,925.00.

Charger 198 Elite CX the base model Boat,Trailer and 225 Pro Xs is $56,495.
I talked to Charger yesterday and had estimate sent over. Very steep IMO but love the boat. Fully rigged mid to high 60's
I want to purchase one but every boat company is pricing guys like me out of a new boat. Its ridiculous.

Same style seats I had on my 2008-210. I like my current 2014 Charger seats much better. But we all have different tastes.

That’s the first storage inside of storage I’ve ever seen. Why? You have to take everything out to open. I’d love to hear the thought process

[TOUCH OF CLASS]

O crap its in the storage under the storage box

I think it would have been better if the Plano boxes dropped all the way down and then had a few rod slots sit above. The storage below would be a Mofo no doubt.


$67k? F me. Maybe I can buy a used one in about 5 years...or 10...
