Yeah I've talked to a lot of people with the twin engine Challenger 210 and they all love it. I think either there were some serious weight distribution issues with the single engine version or I got a lemon. I've never met anyone else with the single engine so I'm not really sure. My first issue was that while on plane if we shifted any weight from the right to the left side of the boat the boat would make a sudden 90 degree "throw you out of the boat" turn. I'm talking my 60 pound son moving from behind me to behind my wife was enough to do it. The second issue was that the boat pulled to left so hard that I had to hold the wheel over 90 degrees to the right to get it to go straight. Due to that turning right was a total crap shoot. About half of the time when I attempted to turn right the boat would just come off plane and continue to go straight. I worked with Sea Doo and got both of the issues mostly fixed. Then during the first maintenance the dealer reversed all the changes and I was back to square one. Sea Doo would no longer work with the dealer to redo the changes and the dealers new management told me all my issues were just normal for jet boats. I was able to get the boat working a bit better by adjusting the weight distribution (moving the battery from the right to left side, making sure all the extra weight was in the back and left side of the boat) but at this point I just want to be done with it. The 242 will also let me fix my mistake of not getting the twin engines and not getting the bigger boat. I figure I'd rather take the hit of selling after a year than keeping a boat that makes me upset every time I think of it.
Hello all... My name is Lou. I'm new to the forum and just wanted to add a pic of my boat. It's a 2012 Challenger 210 twin engine but I only have the 310 HP.
welcome I be interested in seeing a pic of the transom speakers. Have a 210 as well
Here are the transom speakers.
They made a big difference while hanging in the water.
Newbie to this forum. Purchased a 2010 Challenger 180 the end of 2014 and love it. I'm interested in installing Jet Boat Pilot rudders and looking for any feedback from folks who have installed these in their Sea Doo.
