I have a 2021 I/O 250 SDX. The layout - especially the bow and under helm storage - work well for my family. Great storage elsewhere as well. Though the I\O back does not slide as the outboards does, the ability to rotate the seat back easily when underway to maximize cockpit seating is very...

I took delivery of a 2021 SDX 250 last July (ordered Feb 1). Horn needed replacing, Bimini canvas was ripped, rub rail screws needed to be re-set, port exhaust trim needed to be replaced, cuddy door was scratched, and Sea Deck was not installed correctly. Dealer caught all of these and repaired...

I ordered a new 250 SDX in Feb (arrived in July) and got 10% off MSRP. Also got a good price for my trade in boat and got to use it until the new boat arrived. FWIW I also looked at a Yamaha 252. Price was MSRP and was told take it or leave it.

I have the same boat and have towed both wake boards and tubes with no problem, even with a couple of people in the boat. Boarders were teenagers < 190 lbs. If you have passengers you will need to have the largest sit up front. Will take some time to become proficient at the helm. I find after...

I was just boarded last week on the Niagara River in Buffalo NY. They handled all lines - just told me to stand by. They wanted boat registration and my drivers license. Made sure I had enough life preservers for everyone. Checked that the horn and engine blower worked . Wanted to see the...

I have an Alpha 1 5.0 L (265 HP) pushing a 2005 SunDeck 200 that I regularly use for wakeboarding. 16 - 18 year old sons are ~ 190 lbs. Even with a boatload of 6 people I have no problems pulling them.

I am in a similar situation - I have an '05 200 Sundeck I bought 3 years ago w/ 24 hours on the clock and have dry stacked. The boat looked brand new then and still looks the same now. Its pretty convenient to walk up, go boating, and put your toy back on the shelf when done. Only downside is...

I have dry stacked the past 2 years and have not had a problem. The skids on our fork are black rubber covered by a canvas material (looks like a fire hose or similar). Moreover, I am on the 3rd story so the driver cannot really see what is going on except remotely. I should also add I tip the...

I had the same thing happen on my 2005 Sundeck 200. Problem was a defective wiring harness. If you do a search you can find some references. I opted to have it repaired by the marina (Smith Boys - Tonawanda) where I store my boat since I don't have the time to mess with it during the week...

Don't know but I bought a used '05 200 Sundeck last year (previous owner bought it new and put only 27 hours on it) and have had great fun with it on the Niagara River. 5.0L Mercruiser Alpha 1 is plenty to pull loaded boat and skier. Great family boat, handles well and is reasonable on gas (3...

I dry-stack at our marina and am very happy. I think this is due to a large part on the quality of the crew involved - very high (Smith Boys, Tonawanda, NY) Usually, from the time I show up at the the dock, I am in the water within 15 minutes. They also typically put the boat back on the shelf...

Highslice makes a good point. I also tip the guys and joke with them as it differentiates you from guy that views them as just the "help". Besides being the right thing to do anyway, this has paid off as they have been there above and beyond when I have needed assistance (this is my first year...

My sons ages 13 and 17 play club and school lacrosse, soccer, ice/roller hockey and baseball. Early on, we used to take vacations around sports. Then, after we wised-up, we just take vacations when we can and hopefully they won't miss too many games. Last year was our first year with the boat...

My 200 Sundeck moves plenty fast with 3 people in the boat in 1 in the water. No tower needed unless you want to add some bling.

Chris: I took delivery of the boat last Saturday and have only had time to take it out for a short spin. - don't have a radio yet but its on the list... (Father's Day?) Anyway, FWIW you can see antenna on this one is mounted on the left...

I just purchased a 200 Sundeck and was considering a similar purchase. Where do you plan to mount the antenna? Thanx in advance.
