Beam is 98in from what I have heard.

pretty close from helen keller's perspective...

just kidding, hahaha! they do share black cues, but the bu dash forgoes analog type sweeping hands for digital dummy gauges...

Seating capacity appears to be 12.

In the enlarged drivers picture above, right by the throttle under his arm, you can clearly see the number 12 on the yellow capacity plate and I am pretty certain on my 211, that number is 9.

Other observations compared to the 211:

1. Removable rear bench replaced by a new built in seat (presumably with storage underneath it)
2. Pop up pylon
3. Enclosed area by drivers feet now "opened up" - that is where I mount my fire extinguisher. Possibly also storage under dash - is that a latch on the starboard side walkthru in picture #6?
4. Due to the relocation of the garbage can, it is likely the starboard side step (where the garbage can used to be on the 211) is no longer.
5. Smaller and higher up rear external engine vents - lower probability of flooding when surfing!

Where did they put the subwolfer?

[GCN-01]

same place they did on the 09 super air range... in the wall behind the drivers seat. I have heard that it is a glassed in enclosure, but confirm that.

Here are a couple more.

[BigBald]

kind of funny that they got a tube hooked up to that boat....

[SkiTower]

Is that a black on black platform? Pardon my ignorance, but are platforms colorcoded or black rubber on white fiberglass?

[crowland]

I believe that the colorcoded platform is a new option for 09, as far as the rubber inserts, I have seen black and grey rubber.

Why is that funny? They're focusing on the family and the fact that the boat can be used for any water related activities.

Hayes might have a good point; didn't I read here a while back that the 211 was being replaced by the 216V?

[innov8]

The 216v is not replacing the sv211, its replacing the old DD 216.

I don't think it's about a particular model, I just believe that's the marketing approach by CC. Go after the familes, not the hardcore wakeboarders, because that's where the money is at in general.
