I have the itch again. Two boats have caught my eye but I doubt the wife allows me to look at either one.

Anyway, just wondering what are the differences between the 252SE & 252SD? Both are the same color. Similar in hours.
Very well-taken care of. SD is around $5000 more. Both have nice trailers. Both are 2022's.

I have read up on the drive system but never been on a Yamaha that had it. I had no problems at all with my 242SE loading, docking, unloading.

Just wondering what others with experience can tell me. I told the wife I miss my Yamaha 242SE way too much. I just need to make wise financial decisions and keep her happy.

Thanks to All

The only thing is the DRIVE paddle wheels. That is it. I had a chance to go with the SD and felt the Drive wasn't worth the extra money.
 
Thank You so much for your advice. I was hoping that was true!!

Hope this helps….probably the best purchasing flow chart I’ve ever seen.

Show it to your wife…

I will. She will get a kick out of it. All jokes aside, I have one heck of a wife. I fly an RV7 aircraft too & she has not complained one time on how much money I have spent on it. In 2012, I had a camshaft failure and my engine had to be overhauled. I caught the camshaft failure while on the ground during an inspection. Thank God not in the air. She said it must be done and me being safe in it was her top priority. Again, I am a blessed man. I Thank God everyday for having a great life, job, family, health, friends.

Respectfully
Darren & Traci Kerns
