SV211 vs SV211 TE

Happy shopping...211s are great cross over boats.....

Anyway to tell if the used 211 I'm looking at is a TE, LE or SE? Owner de-badged the boat and says he can't remember.

Can I ask for the VIN to check? If so, where can I check the VIN?

I plan on reviewing the boat this week.. So I've only looked at pics. One thing that stood out to me for 2006 SV211, it had a teak swim deck. Which I thought was rare as I've only seen the fiberglass swim.

thanks again for the help.

Call the factory with the hull # to be sure. Options can be added and subtracted and there are too many variables. A Team boat will have tower, boardracks ,ballast, composite platform, keyless ign, subwoofer, dual batteries, and a jumpseat. Any of those options can be added to lesser models but if it has them all ( from factory) not aftermarket then it is most likely a Team. Also, Teak platform avail as option on 211T in 05 but is listed as not avail for 06. So the teak may have been swapped out from an earlier boat, but I would double check and make sure the boat is actaully an 06. If it has the 305 motor with keyed ignition....definately not a team lol

When going through Nada Guides, I only see 3 options for an SV211 in 06. LE, TE and SE. That's it right?

Looks like a Signature series with factory ballast, tower , and perfect pass, as well as a few other options. Rocker switches were not avail on the Limited and Team, at least according to the brochure. Can't make out the engine pic does it say ZR6? or Excaliber ? You are correct on the models for 06, but each one could be fitted with multiple options above and beyond their original platform. Go to the reference section of this site and look at the 2006 brochure. The last few pages list all of the models with all available options.

Definitely not a TE edition. Boat, but that just adds all the bells and whistles you may not want.. I have a 2005 SV211TE and so far it's given me everything I need to do as far as a family boat as well as a watersports. It's a great crossover.. The Excaliber motor gives us everything we need and more..

What are you looking to do with the boat? Let me know when you're ready for the graphics upgrade woohoo...

That looks like the low end boat. Not a big deal if you like it. One of the best all around water sports people I know bought the low end boat because he knew he would want to add all his own stereo equipment, etc. and he wanted a key instead of the electronic keypad.

The crossover to me is a perfect fit for my family. Uncle has an 2002 210 SAN. I'm going to ask for the Hull ID for reference..

Hull ID is irrelevant really. Like Brian said, it's a basic 211 that was optioned with a tower, and that's all. Lets see a pic of the boat on the trailer and advise the asking price. We'll give you an idea of it's value.. What's your budget?

The 211 is however not a 210. While it has ballast, it is still designed and sold as a crossover (ski and wakeboard) capable. it's much harder to surf, but much easier to ski.. And well Tubing (any boat can pull them).. The 211 is a "stauncher" style boat than the 210.

smstansbu wrote: Yes, I did say "tube".. I like the crossover as an all around family boat. I still like to board.. None the less, the one boat I was looking at, and thank you all for the help and education, I have a few reservations. So my search still continues.

What's the reservations?? It certainly can't be a keyless start pad,trust me I'd rather have a key, mine starting to go.. And a stereo can always be added

Ahh.. Yes, sounds like the boat took on a little water at some point.. Oh and like other's we know, sounds like someone may have smashed the platform by possibly running it into an Oak, but sure, sounds weird.. I'd prefer buying from someone that owns and actively used the boat, or a reputable dealer..

There are other 211's out there. I hope you find a nice one and make your family happy. Mine sure did.. Best of luck in your search..
