Something that has not changed since the late 90s will change again.
Have the pumps changed since the late 90's? Clean out ports? I am intrigued!

Does the jetboaters.net server have enough CPU/memory for tonight? I think there is potential for the server going down from all the traffic right at 8pm EDT. Maybe we should stagger access and let 50 people in every 30 mins. I of course should be in the first 50 since this was my idea. Just looking out for everyone.

I agree with spaz, ill take entry space number two! I dont know why im so excited for the 2017's...i passed on buying a 2016 leftover to buy a mint condition 2013 SX240 TWO WEEKS AGO. I really hope (for my sake and my wallet's)that there is nothing warranting a trade in haha.

Then again...a twin supercharged 212x that does 60mph would probably be worth trading in for, as long as its not 240 money.

So, something that hasn't been changed since the 90s....dual engines on a 19/20 footer, with a redesigned 22 foot 212x?

A 212X is pretty much already 240 money. Likely the gap to be even smaller in 2017. You don't want a twin supercharged 21 footer if you are worried about your wallet. Those additional MPH gains will come at a hefty price at the pump.

My 240sx was averaging about 2mpg according to the display (im not sure if that is accurate at all?) so I cant imagine it being TOO much worse...1.5 mpg? haha

@Julian given what you know, are you disappointed that you bought a 2016?

I don't know. The #s indicate one of them pushing the little 19 footer gets horrible gas mileage so I extrapolated that 2 of them pushing a bigger boat will get horrible mileage as well.
