From the looks of it, sounds like it has something to do with the angle of the nozzles. There’s a video on the desktop version.

The 242x also got some sweet upgrades. Nice new 12in screen and a sunroof on the Bimini too!

FSH finally gets cupholders! And a tiny connext screen?

WTF did they put a stainless grab handle? around the windshield on the 210FSH though? That seriously might be a deal breaker for me. I gotta take my windshield off alot to clear bridges. Doubt that pops off easily.

SurfPointe sounds like a modification of no-wake mode where it just lowers the bucket some to redirect the jet thrust. If you have a lot of aft ballast and you redirect thrust downward, it's going to make a pretty interesting divot right behind the boat. Maybe that's what's going on.

Did they put a real, full, serious Wet Sounds system in the 242X E-Series?

The grab rail looks to come off and just fill the holes. Or cut the grab rail and weld an insert pipe that goes down a few inches and use a quick release pin drilled through to secure it in place after the bridge.

...and a top speed of 42mph. Still gonna take a hard look at one, but I'm certainly not as excited as I was.

The jets must be much less efficient. I bet it burns more gas than the E-Series.

So, let me get this straight - Surfpoint is simply the nozzles permanently angled inward? Are they going to get a patent for that?

A patent pending innovative jet drive technology that enhances the surfability of the wake

I explained that to @swatski a while back using the 2 tie rods of my magnum a k system you could angle either nozzle inward toward the other to cross the jet thrust and create a wake but he felt it was too much air in the wake and since I do not wake surf I listen to the people who do. So I didn't give it any more thought but it appears that they are doing something similar.
