I really want to see the inside now

Honestly, I really don't like the windshield. Maybe it will look better in person.
Maybe those wing things on the swim platform are for the removable seating? Either way, that looks like something my kids would break off the 1st time we took the boat out.
I am excited to see the interior, but afraid that the "galley" will take up a large chunk of real estate.
@swatski From the postings, it sounds like there is the 27' model being introduced this week, in addition to (presumably completely different) wake specific model(s?) introduced later (w/ the 4000 lb ballast, etc).I agree but I bet this new 27’ is more of a cruiser style, it may or may not throw a better surf wave than the best behind the current 240/242s (with custom ballast and wake wedge).
More likely in my view a dedicated wake jet boat is in the works.

That is what it sounds like. Will be interesting to see how the paddles on the wheel control it. Cant wait to see it in person.Can't unsee it
I'm guessing DRiVE is a version of the RiDE system from the Waverunner line.
Came in to say this.....find someone beat me to is. 1996 all over again!The windshield reminds me of the old regal LSRs that had the side mirrors.
