the 2003 210 throws one of the best wakes, ever!! I say suck it up with the hours, and take the better boat!

Both are really nice boats. Put a list of what is on each one so we can give you a more informed suggestion. Is the 210 a Team edition? Does the Vride have PP, triple ballast, wedge?

350 isn't that big of deal. IMO a boat with 150 has just as much chances of something going wrong as a boat with 350. (everything else being equal, i.e. maintenence, etc.)

IMO a boat with hours is a better bet. A couple of things to look and or ask for from the seller. A copy of all maintenance records if they have them. Ask for a list of the service history and warranty claims from the sellers servicing dealer. Have the boat checked out by your servicing dealer, you can negotiate this into the sale price. Lastly and most importantly test drive both boats in similar conditions to see how they perform and then make your decision. The other selling point for the 210 is the PP so to get the v-ride with PP you will need to add about $1200.00.

350 hours, really, you are worried about that. That thing is barely broken in. A marine engine will go 2000 hours plus if you maintain them. I am partial to the 210 but don't let the hours get to you.

The 03 210 hands down, better built boat better resale.

210 all the way! We have an 03 SANTE with 600 hours on it. Runs like a champ. Look at the price of the two. The 210 is 3 years older and still holds its value. Like innov8actionsports.com stated, better built boat, and better resale value.

The malibu does have cruise control. It was standard in 2006

Both boats produce pro caliber wakes and are quality built. The Nauti will hold its resale a little better as that boat is no longer available and as you can tell is a rock solid performer.

Thecurrent Bu V-Ride used to the the VLX that competed with the 210 when those were flagship/core boats. The VLX/current V-Ride will offer more room and storage but will require a little more weight to get the wakes going due the the fact it is a little bigger.

Again both boats can produce pro level wakes, just really comes down to which shape you prefer. Try and get behind both and make a decision. either way whichever boat you choose will not let you down. I am probably one of the few on here that doesn't prefer the NAuti wake. Just don't like the beating it gives me on my knees, but I am just one man. Lots of people love it and just as many people love the MC wake and the Bu wake.

I think the best bet is the one that has the wake you like best.

350 hours is nothing to be worried about.
