    Any advise on a 2011 FX21?

    I'm looking to purchase a 2011 FX21 with 250 SHO. Are there any issues with this boat I should look out for?
    Nice looking boat. Just sold my 03 Stratos 201.
    Any input would be appreciated.

    Literally thousands sold. Whatcha wanna know?

    Be leery of the ‘11 SHO. The earlier ones seemed to have more issues with piston and major failures.

    I used to have a 2012 FX21 with 250SHO. Nothing inherently wrong with the boat model. It does use the "Brain Box" which is subject to going bad. The 2011 year model 250SHO had some recalls for powerhead replacement. I don't believe all were recalled. You might check and see if the one you are interested in was recalled and had the powerhead replaced.

    Thanks guys! Yeah I'm going to check on the SHO and see if anything was done to it.

    I noticed the boat has a few gel coat cracks. Wasn't sure if this was typical or the boat was run hard.
