Super Mario Plush Bros 1 just keep that camera rolling when all that supercharged HP which barely pulls away from Yamaha leaves you broke down and that 242 goes rite on by you. There is a reason Yamaha has completely dominated the jet boat market. I'll take reliability over some worthless HP any day.

The super charged Rotax has a history of trouble. to start you will be rebuilding the seals on the chargers right after the break in period and then about every season there after. The other thing you are missing is the hull design. The Seadoo uses the same wide brow that the 242 uses. There is a reason the 230 series is preferred over the 242 and that is all around performance. The 230 is simply faster. The Rotax powered boat will take the hole shot, that is simple physics. it makes more power but in the long run, as you saw, the Yamaha boat has a more efficient hull design and will eventually out run the seadoo. I see it every day in the summer. There are Chapperals and seadoos on the lake I frequent that are on their 5th or 6th overhaul or 2nd re-power while the Yamaha boats of the same years are on their 2 or 3,000th hour and nothing but plugs, oil, and the occasional drive seal.

H8bogez he doesn't anymore.

Speaking from experience indeed the Rotax powered boats cannot touch the reliability but. Take away those superchargers and they could. The Rotax has always been a fantastic engine. And what I would give for the what the Chapperal or Seadoo can do at the dock. They use a lateral thrusting nozzle for low speed and reverse and they definitely out do the yamaha unless the operator is experienced with using independent thrusting. Most operators aren't proficient with it and many don't even know you can do it
