Hi,

I purchased a mint condition Z210 Shabah with a 5.7 Merc coupled with a Bravo III a couple months ago. It runs beautifully and handles great. According to the promotional materials, it says that the boat had the new fully fiberglass stringer system with no wood used. I know from examining the ski locker that at least the center of the boat's floor is 3/4 CCA plywood. This was also confirmed as the gas tank access is a hinged wood panel. Can anyone verify whether or not my boat may still have the wood free stringer system or was it only late model '98's that went to the wood free construction.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi mark43 and welcome to the club!

Chances are you have the wood system from what you've told us and it's probably as you suspected, where the wood-less system was implemented later as the '98 brochure stated that hulls from 18' through 22' including the 30' off-shore would use the new system.
