looks like a single spreader light tucked under to t-top centerline?
you’re right, the lights are mentioned but have yet to see a detailed picture.

If you look at this....there is no evidence of a light up there....I think thats because its a pre production model....or they have some fold up light????

You’re right. Where is the anchor light? I thought you were referring to the spreader lights they added.

So anyone looking to buy a 2019 210 FSH Sport? 😆😆😆

Really interested in the 252/255! If the advertised 11.1 GPH is correct, its going to have some great range. Range is the one thing I couldn't get with mods on the 210

Thanks for the intel on the boat. Love the boat, and was hoping that it would be “shipping” soon to the dealers.[/QUOTE]

I saw a screenshot on the 255XD where the guy was turning on the lights and they had an interior light that turned on from underneath the tow bar - same concept?

Yes possibly. I can only speculate until I see a more detailed video... or ride one myself.

I just watched the full video for the 25' FSH. It is a beautiful boat. Would love to own one.

The primary downside I see in comparison to the boat I currently have is that crossing to Bimini in the rain....it really only had a spot for 1-2 people to remain dry. With my current screens on my 242X I can keep 4-6 people comfortably dry. Guess we are going to need some custom side screens for it!

@Julian I was thinking the same thing. The Admiral likes her shade and so doe the kids. If it had a bigger top or something that was solid I could buy, I could get them to buy into it. Will be trying to figure this out.

I like the new FSH, now that they are integrating a Simrad do you think there is any chance they made the engine data and fuel sensors NEMA 2000 and tied them into the Simrad?

I would hope the windshield is removable? I get the protection, but I thrive and live for the wind in my face and visibility. I think I've lowered my bolster once in 4 years to be behind the windshield..

How is he surfing that wave? They hire experts! I went out with the US Champion wake skater....was amazing to watch him (and at the time he had broken ribs from a jump) - he could surf a ripple....

I'm going to say it is not removable, but I'm certain plenty of wind will be deflected and come around it at the driver.

Any thoughts from your time spent with Yamaha, that they will add integrated wake booster (like the 255xd) in the future to the 255eFSH, since it’s the same e-throttles and engines?
