Hey CSR. I've heard that around here, if there aren't pictures, it didn't happen. Thankfully I have proof. I picked a gem in this 1999 210 BR signature. 320 fresh water hours, winterized by a mechanic every year and stored inside.

It was pretty dirty from having been in storage for the past couple years, but after a couple hours of scrubbing, she's looking pretty good.

Here are pictures of our first weekend with her! She is moored at Flathead Lake, Montana.

Here are a couple before and after photos of the vinyl. Pictures don't do it justice, but some vinyl cleaner and 303 protectant made a world of difference. The carpet especially cleaned up well, and unfortunately I didn't get a good before photo of the carpet to compare. The gel coat is a little chalky, but that will have to be a project for next spring.

Welcome! Looks like a beautiful area to boat. Do you anchor and explore some of the areas around that lake? Looks like an awesome place for family boating. Very cool.

Great looking boat.

Thanks Stee

Flathead is a great place to recreate, though I'm partial having grown up here. Most of the shoreline is private land, but there are some islands with public access and hiking. One of my favorite anchorages is Skeeko Bay on the north side of Wild Horse Island. It is well sheltered, nice beach, great snorkeling and the trailhead for miles of hiking on the island. Its a great place to watch eagles fish.

Nice - I’ve got your boat’s little brother. That era bowriders are great solid boats.
 
Welcome to CSR and thanks for starting off with lots of pics of your new boat and of Flathead Lake. I've been there a couple of times and it's a great lake to boat on.

Your boat is a beauty and it looks like she cleaned up pretty nicely. Good job.
