I purchased a 2019 242x last summer, I didn't get too crazy with it.

I'm curious if anyone has pushed the limits of the boat with sharp turns or 360's using the thrusters. I'm not looking for dangerous moves or risk anyones safety.

Any videos or cool tricks are appreciated.

There's an area where multiple channels meet and I race through those buoys. I can pull quick 180's in my AR192 and it feels like the boat is completely sideways through the turn. I've lost traction before, but nothing strange like throwing people around. The hull is very predictable and holds really good through the turns. I only do this with a few people that can handle it. My brother gets nervous laughter. And at 50% effort, my mom is less then enthusiastic, I think she was yelling "Stahhpp" but couldnt hear her over the engine noise.

Just remember to put your lanyard on.

Thanks for sharing from my channel. This video got me close to 500K views on my YouTube channel. But went viral in Australia. It has like 6 million views. I now found folks cutting clips out of it and branding it their own on boat failure vids.

Thanks for sharing it from my channel.
