Going to look at / purchase(?) a 2000 2100 DC today/tomorrow.
Any potential issues with this year/model hull and/or trailer I need to look for?
Never been in a Gambler so any advice is welcome.
Thanks.

no issues i know of, except they dont come with TRIM tabs, and if you plan on propping it out for Top End, you're gonna need when you fill it up with water, fish and gas....

Great boats I would love to have one. Didn't some of the 2000's have the tabs not sure but I think I saw some of the 2000's with them.

they've got the recessed tab pockets, but no tabs...wont be hard to add some, or either just keep the boat propped a little lower...

She ran 74 on the test ride with 2 people. He drove as he didn't have insurance. I don't think he got her quite stretched out but that is no equipment.
First impressions:
- Surprised/disappointed in the shallow rod boxes. Guess that is why they added the two quick draw lockers to the 2200's.
- You have to be agile to put in/take out the drain plugs on this boat. Need to use the mechanic creeper at the house before you leave for the lake.
- Couldn't get the livewells to pump in water. Bad pumps or what's the combination?
- That said above, I still like her enough to give her a new home.
