I can not wait to see my daughter behind it.

Congratulations you and your family will enjoy this boat. If Mom's happy everyone else can be convinced.

Sweet MariStars!

Here's a few pics of the 2001 210 that I picked up less than 2 weeks ago. Had it in the water three times and love it. This was an upgrade from a 1986 19' I/O (V8) runabout. I keep looking over my shoulder because I feel like I stole it

Only 170 hours on the 330HP LT-R!

Great looking boat. I've got a 20 year old 240 that I love, it's my project to keep me out of trouble. But, when I see some of these new Maristars, man it makes me want to upgrade. Maybe in a couple of years. Enjoy.

Welcome to Team Talk. Very nice 210! ? It looks like the owner really took care of it...

I have a 1999 210 and the Entire Rear Hatch opens up via a switch. Your's looks like it's in 3 pieces?

Also, does your boat still carry 11 people?

Your Teak Deck is awesome! You had better lock it up...lol

I talked a lot about my MC Maristar and took many pictures. You are welcome to view my Memoirs >>>>here<<<<

Thanks, the boat it in almost perfect shape. The previous owner was very meticulous. I hope I can keep up. I have the boat in covered storage with a fitted cover as well so it really will only see the sun when it's on the lake.

He had the teak refinished before selling it so it's pretty much perfect looking. I just oiled it after 3 trips to the water and a good drying before the oil. I spent some time with some 303 cleaner and a scrub brush on the vinyl to get out some slight dark spots from sunscreen/body oils on the vinyl.....the pics were actually taken before I cleaned it!

The rear hatch is three pieces so you can access each side individually without exposing the engine....mutch the same way they are today on most models I think.

Trailer is in impeccable shape and just serviced, 4-wheel disc brakes work great.

I'm kind of a tinkerer and this boat really doesn't have anything to "fix".....which I guess is a good thing.

Tower and bimini are in the works for this winter when I have save a little cash.

We really enjoyed the weekend with the boat

Well at 8:30 pm and the sun had already set. The kids did not want to get out of the boat. They asked for one more ride. So I had to do it. Slow ride around the lake for the last time of the season. Tunes playing and big smiles. One more thing. Yes you guessed it. The next morning they all wanted one more wakeboard loop before we pulled for the season. This is why I bought a Maristar. Everyone can ride and wake together. Thanks everyone that had input to help me decide this was the right boat. Two days and 15 hours on the boat, I would say we like it.
