OK, So Doug can't stand Beneteaus but Doug thinks that Hunter &
Catalina can be just a bad. Problem is the Benuntina is the brand I
can generally afford, even used, so I'll be tapping decks and hulls on
any boat I look at. The Jeaneau Sun 2000 is a pretty boat too, but is
generally too expensive for me, and shipping from europe to Texas
isn't so pretty.

So how about details pertinent to the 210?
DSK said that the B210 is "a bit more cumbersome to trailer than we
liked." I've also heard that it can be a little bit of a struggle to
rig, even with factory rigging system.

DSK: What is cumbesome? Heavy (2500 lb) and tall (2-foot draft plus
big freboard)? I've got a truck to pull with so weight and drag won't
be much of an issue. I can guess that working on the boat while it
sits on a trailer can be a pain.

What about that "unique" CB mechanism, especially vs. winch and cable?
Is that CB "housing" padded or what?

What about the double rudder mechanism, does this need
reinforcement/rebuilding?

How is the hardware outfit? looks like two pretty small winches, are
these sufficient? (My last 2 boats were too small to need winches so
Iduhknow)

Boat has a B4/C6 CE Certification (up to 45 miles offshore in B-force
4, inshore to B-force 6). What's the reality?

Anyone have personal experience with the B-210?

Ever see the Far Side cartoon: "Beware of Doug"?

Thanks guys. MA.

om...
I saw a picture recently in a magazine and thought it looked cool.
Only 21 feet and not much gadgets inside is ok w/me and my wife, we
like camping. Definately need cb as our boat will have to be stored on
a trailer.

Used prices would fit our budget.

Otherwise, I'm looking for your opinion concerning value/cost, problem
issues, good points, bad points, retrofits, etc...

Can you help? Thanks. MA
