Sea Ray 210 Select

2007 Sea Ray 210 Select, Inside, hatch hinges were rugged-looking but finely polished and of stainless steel. Latches worked crisply and positively with a light snap. Sometimes it takes aftermarket adjustments to get that fit, but without the superior hardware provided, no adjusting could turn the trick. Further signs of a solid build came from stainless-steel windshield struts and a heavy-duty aluminum rim around the curved and tinted glass.

The seating is Euro-firm with multi-density foam covered by a moisture barrier and then by heavy, durable vinyl with a leather look and UV protection for long life and good looks. Three seating patterns are offered. Our test boat had our favorite — two bucket seats and a full sun pad for an upgrade price of $1,154. Two standard seating arrangements may be preferable to some boaters because they use two jump seats beside the engine compartment and reduce the sun pad, giving more interior space for moving around.
At the helm, we had a clear view from our adjustable bucket seat. Plenty of legroom for a six-foot driver added comfort, and the seat adjusts to accommodate smaller drivers. A flip-up bolster helps elevate the view, too. Smartcraft instrumentation is standard on the 210, and it’s one of Sea Ray’s strong points. Our test drivers had a clear view of the tach, speedo, fuel, and trim gauges. Switches were easy to find and operate, too. We liked the deep cockpit and bow area and thought parents would enjoy the ride more knowing their children were well-protected. The 210 Select is as upscale as the name sounds. When you turn up the Clarion CD player and tunes pump through the four speakers, knowing you invested your boating bucks in this rig will be as soothing as the music.

Notable Features
• We liked the double bucket seat arrangement but would really be tempted to opt for the back-to-back passenger seat that folds down for a full portside seating area.
• The extended swim platform makes the boat seem much bigger when swimming at anchor — a favorite pastime of Sea Ray boaters.
• An MP3 port is standard on all Sea Rays, making an album of CDs almost obsolete.
• A three-step, stainless-steel ladder is accessible from the water for convenience and safety.
• The Sea Ray 210 Select’s 5.0-liter engine gives a smooth performance.
