Anyone get a Sx250, whats the difference

[Evil Sports]

I dont need ballasts or a tower so Im looking at the Sx250. Its the lowest priced 25 but what did they skimp on besides all that tech shit that is not working for so many

It’s the same as the AR250 but without the tower. From that point up they all have different features. The 252 you get a better sound system, bigger helm screen, lounge seats in the back, seadek type flooring, swim up seating, and a few other minor things. I went with the AR250 cause I can add a better sound system and a better seadek.

Sound sys, bigger screen to fail, some pads on the swim deck and over the clean out hatch and Stick on seadek for an extra $16K

You got it! Even if you don’t need a tower I’d probably still get the AR250. It keeps the Bimini out of the way and you can mount speakers or rod holder or whatever on the tower.

I like to get outta the sun during the day. Does the tower bimini give good shade or better than the framed one

So you gotta figure about $3k for seadek and sound upgrade

Pretty much. There’s a group discount in the fall of the seadek. The sky is the limit on sound system. As far as the Bimini it is a decent size to get out of the sun.

Something like that. The 212 are the fastest. The AR250 are coming in around 4034 empty.

@Evil Sports When you say 250SS, do you mean the SX250 or the 252S, because there is no 250SS.

That’s what I was referring to.

45 seems pretty fair. Our top was 47 with two adults and 2 small kids. The worst top end was 42-43 with 7 adults and 5 kids into the wind with the Bimini open. We have roughly 34 hrs of use in.

Did you notice it opening up more once you broke it in more. Like around 10-15hrs?

We hit 47 at 8 hrs for a min or two. 45-46 has been the high now. But now we always have the bimini open, more people on board, and a pretty full tank of gas. I have yet to take it out when the water is like glass. Can’t wait for that. Also to go a day without kids

I have a 3 month old and a 2 year old. Hence why I only have 7hrs on it.
