Hello,

I am interested in opinions on the Yamaha SX 210 jet boat. I have
always had outboard boats in the past. I am interested in this boat
for family fun and slalom skiing. How is the hole shot? Is the wake
small? Does this boat handle well? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have an '06 SX230, and couldn't be happier. Lots of power, loads of
storage, an awesome swim platform, and an affordable price. It's very
similar to the 210.

The boat is fairly light for it's size, so the wake isn't huge. Still, the
wake may be too big for some VERY good skiers. You could spend a lot more
money for a competition tow boat, but you would lose a lot of creature
comforts that the 210 has. I would class the Yamaha
simply as an awesome value.

I looked at them recently during my own search for a bowrider.
Overall, they compare favorably with similar boats. Very innovative
layout, good fit and finish. The only negatives I could identify were
worse fuel economy and higher maintenance cost than comparable single
engine boats. I assume you are looking at the newer four stroke
models? The redundancy of two motors is valuable, although it's
going to be a while before we know how these 8000+ rpm motors do over
the long haul.

I wouldn't consider the older, twin two strokes. Gas hogs, and PWC
two stroke motors do tend to eat themselves prematurely.
