Congrats, and what an awesome way to start the season! We did the same upgrade you are doing from a 410 - 510. It feels much larger than a 10' jump. IMO the 510 is a great for the buck being it's the biggest 51 foot boat I have ever stepped on. The 3196 provides a great cruise speed with reasonable economy, and the boat is an absolute wave crusher. You are going to love that boat. Best of luck with your new ride!View attachment 143447 We are the proud new owners of a 2000 510 sundnacer, moved up from a 2000 410 with gas engines. Boat is being transported over the road from DC to Michigan. Excited for this new journey as this boat seems bigger then just the 10' extra. The Cat 3196's will be a new animal for me but have done a lot of research on them and the boat itself and this site has helped a lot so far.
Any advice for the new owners is appreciated and welcomed, thanks in advance.
