Boating Magazine JUST posted a video for the 2021 255XD and 212XD on YouTube .......They have the DRIVE paddles from 275, single-lever driving capability, 12” connect instead of the 7” and the graphic in the beginning SAYS DUAL SVHO Engines!!!! (Although he never mentions the engines???????)

Here is a bootleg copy of the Video before being moved private:


Here is a picture of the 255XD someone grabbed before the videos were moved to private:

Looks like they're pulling the videos as fast as they can put them up.

I was able to watch the 212XD video. Guess I'll have to wait a day or two to watch the rest.

Yea. Had I not just bought my 210FSH Sport I know I’d get the new 255FSH. BUT, it only is a few minor updates/upgrades. And the added cost and fuel consumption isn’t worth it to me right now.
But I’ll Be keeping an eye on it. ☺
