Welcome to Doral ownership. Great to see you out here.
Please post your hull number. Should be stamped at the stern starboard side. I will be able to help you more with that information.
Thanks,
Ken.

Nice looking boat.

We just bought a 2008 210 Sunquest from Boatmax at the end of the summer.

Winter sucks....

Performance is good, prop 19 pitch WOT is around 4500, have not had is water since test run, gets up and planes very good, speedo was not working properly so speed was questionable. Thats the best I can give you for now. Weather for boating sucks in Canada. Come on spring.

Thanks

Best to get it in the water in spring, give it a GPS verified speed test and a good general run around. Then see if you need to attempt to alter the performance at all. Do this with all the gear you will usually carry and the normal load of people.
