    Just asking, why the need for so many push buttons on the panel? Is there that many things to control?

    Really nice! Any word on what mph? Actual mph, not the inflated mph posted on here...such as the preproduction 210 numbers which were happy by 8-10mph (as anybody with any sense new) .

    Haven’t heard but I would think 65 pretty easy.with a load .210 would be 70-75 and loaded 70 which is pretty much what everyone is reporting.Lots of variables with speed ,but these kind of boats are designed for rough water not speed which 70 is still moving pretty good on water ,just think the number one fishing boat is a tracker that only goes 30

    198 should be a 70plus mph boat set up right with a 225 HO.

    Should be close, my old 198 does 68 with a Merc that has over 500 hrs on it. If I had Reggie’s money I’d have to order me one; but since I’m poor and can’t afford expensive things I’ll just have to keep mine. Once the motor blows, I’ll have a hard think about the situation. $20k for a new motor or $58k for an entire new boat. Can’t go with a 210 due to the lakes I fish.

    Yeah the seat color is odd. Needs to be closer to the dash blue if anything at least.

    If you had Reggie's money, you'd be pulling your 12 year old Champ with a 12 year old Yukon and trying to make a go of it on Social Security

    I’m curious what brand of mounts are they using for the depth finders? What size units are those?
