So at the boat show today and the Owner / dealer said he can index the nozzles on the 242 Limited so it will work the same as the 242x. Any thoughts on this? But still have not figured out if we want a 212 or the 242. We have a 1998 270 exciter and have a need for speed so looking at the 212 L/X .

Glad to have you on board, we don't have many two stroke members any more! Have you upgraded your oil lines or changed to pre mix?

as for speed, I don't think there is really much difference in top end on either of those boats,

we did have a short discussion about possibly changing the point direction on the nozzles to imitate the new surf set up but I think it was to late in the year for any of our avid surfers to post results.

Are you more interested in surfing or going fast?

We wake board a bit would like to do more but still learning. I drive the Exciter like a race car. But most people do not care for the wild ride I push it till I scare myself so I now they have to be freaking out Lol. I see most of the time people want to hangout and do some water sports on the boat. With the exciter it's like a puzzle moving around the boat and I have to return to shore or dock to switch out passengers.
