Erm, uh, that's a bit eye-watering.

I guess I will stay with my trusty '08 SX-230 for a few more years.

 

[Julian]

I haven't lined these up against last year....but know that the 242X is up $700.....will need to update the spreadsheet with the new models!

You get anything for that $700? Inquiring minds want to know. I didn't see ANY other threads listed for 242X changes.

You will get snap in Seamat instead of carpet.....and perhaps a kiss from your dealer! LOL

 

[Volffas]

Here you go, old prices listed in red. Not too bad if you ask me.

The 212X was the biggest jump, but I guess it had the most changes.

Wow, I am surprised there wasn't even a color scheme change. . . .

I assume the old prices are the lower ones. . . . but nothing is showing in Red.

I'm pretty sure there is a color scheme change of some sort....if only graphics....but they didn't bring any 240s to the media event...and only gave us the photos you see.

Sorry, fixed it, take a look at it now.

I bet you were happy, having just bought yours. . . . = )

 

[NukeJet]

With changes being minimal, no buyers remorse with the 2016 242 LS! Thanks Julian for all the info!

 

[djetok]

Was thinking about upgrading for hp but I guess the ar240 ho would most likely be where I might go

 

[Ancient canoe]

I don't really understand their strategy with the price overlap or very small gap between the 212 models and 240 models. I would just skip right over them and go straight for a 240.

 

[OCMD]

Love it....driving up the price of my "used" SX 230.......Ridiculous for what you get.

 

[Ancient canoe]

Yeah I imagine some of the older 212X are going to be hot commodities with that price jump for 2017. I am glad they brought back the 210 models, but there is still a huge gap in between the 190-210. They should strip the 210 down a bit to make it mid to high thirties option.

 

[Chillypilot]

The AR240 is the best deal in my opinion. Bigger boat, $3500 cheaper than the 212X. I'd use the savings to add a nice ballast system.

No question about it, if you ask me.
Having sat with one now for a few weeks, the only debate-able option in AR240 (as in: what's missing that would add value) are E-throttles. But with the issues these throttles have right now, along with the dual battery voltage management system, it is a no go for me (for where it stands right now).
Oh, but those are not offered in 212s though, anyhow.

I am curious about this. I replaced the steering and reverse cables on my SX230 a few weeks ago. While in there I adjusted the throttle friction screws. I thought that I would want to increase the friction but found that I preferred it reduced. Last Saturday I got a lot of docking practice acting as the ferry service for a house boat party. I can not imagine the throttles being any easier to operate. I am able to shift from forward to reverse with my fingers. It is very easy to simply rotate my hand to put either throttle in forward while switching the other into reverse. I had a lot of fun sliding the boat gently up to the dock without any need of assistance.

I know that the cables I installed are a newer Telefax product but I assume that a new 240 would have similar feel using similar hardware. Does the E series really bring that much better of a feel compared to a new boat without it? Based on the $90 cost and fairly easy installation I plan to start replacing the shift cables anytime I feel it getting harder to shift.

Hah! You are making me want to replace the cables in a new boat, Bruce.

To answer your question directly, the throttles are not bad, but not very smooth either. Takes significant effort to operate, and it can be tricky if you are trying to accelerate very smoothly. Don't get me wrong, it is not like you have to use two hands to move those, but I would NOT call them smooth.

I may need to look into adjusting the friction screws! I think I did it in my 190, but it did not completely fix the problem. It was still not smooth.

My understanding is E-throttles eliminate those issues completely.
However, when I was shopping, I was not able to get strait (and consistent) answers about some of their features. Such as: will those work with no aux power in the boat? And I think the reverse limiter is crazy. So, I like the idea, but I just didn't have the nerve.

(As an aside: What actually helped most with my 190, at the end, was the ECU reflash - I found a program that made the throttles operate smoother than silk. Which makes me believe it is a combination of cable adjustment and throttle body programming that smooth throttle operation makes. )
