Anyone know the difference between these the 2024 and the 2025? I am looking to buy one and a sales rep told me the Drive X is not on the 2024 models. Thank you!
 
Not so. Drive X is on the 2024 SD and the 2024 XD. I watched a video that said the only real change in the 2025 XD is the change in the position of the jets to improve the wake. I am not sure if the exact change was made to the SD model. See the video I added at the 2:00-minute mark. Other than that, they look and seem identical. Given that, if you can pick up a 2024 model at a nice discount, do it. There really is no compelling reason to get the 2025 that I can find.
