Owner of new to me AR210

[not2fast]

I just picked up a one owner 2007 AR210 with 150 hours. This is my first boat. I have been into PWCs the last few years, but have never owned a boat or hand any with MR-1 motors. The boat is going to be primarily used for cruising and towing tubes. Anything I need to be aware of? Anything I should be looking at in the offseason?

You may also want to read through the FAQ at the top of the page for other tips like impellers, bearings and other normal wear items,

Congratulations @not2fast . Your family will have a lot of fun together on that boat.
@Scottintexas that thread you created is already helping people.

Thank Scott. That link is very valuable.

Welcome @not2fast and congrats on the new boat. Wow, only 150 hours on an 07. That boat is close to new.

Thank you, everyone. I have been thinking of anodizing the tower black and maybe adding some lights.

When I look at the motors/pumps I get thoughts of changing props/removing ribbons/pluming intakes/etc. I worry if I start there is no place to stop. I am not sure how boats respond to props, but the first thing I always do to a ski is add a prop intake grate, and remove ribbon.

Also saw the wake wedge/swell/wakesurf that looks cool and possibilities of adding blast bags. My daughters are tubers, but GF's kids first questions are can you wake surf behind it. (National Champion Wake Surfer used to live on their lake)

Seriously though I am hoping to keep it simple and enjoy it as is for a season.

Looks like from your profile picture that's the boat I had my eye on too, but was never able to get out to look at it! Tough to find a decently priced Yamaha around the Twin Cities. Congrats on purchase!

I know what you mean. I am pretty happy with the purchase. Previous owner took great care of it.
