TRIP!! Great to see ya on here! That thing sure is a beaut. Long way from the kayak fishing days.

[mtnman]

I’m obsessed with this boat, no clue how I’m going to be able to afford it though. lol.

When did ya get this reviewing gig Trip?

I hear a lot of people talk poorly of the FSH series but anyone who owns them loves it. You can’t find many on the used market. I’m between a 25ft used Robalo or a new FSH 255 sport H. Can’t make a decision

[elmoocher]

I’m still debating. I have the same hull on the wake series, but my concern would be how it would do in heavy chop. That bow looks like you could stuff it quite easily is sporty conditions. I think it may also be too light for offshore.

[mattgauvin]

It’s a 100k fully loaded with electronics and trailer and people are upset it doesn’t come with trolling motors and armrests 🤦

I live in the Florida keys. Would this be a good boat to go to the sandbar with the family. I don’t really fish but would like to go out with the fam and hang out at the sandbars around here. I would have it in a lift over the canal in my house.

Helmaster on a jetboat is crazy. They already handle good without it.

i would love to get this due to the rear swim platform but not being able to keep it in salt water for 3-4 days on a fl keys week trip is a dealbreaker for me. i mean i guess you would just have to trailer it out more often to flush the engines but that sounds like a hassle if you have a dock or boat slip

[bearclub]

Is there a way to upgrade the helm seat with some arm rests? Also, the brown interior is so old looking....

[keithdavighi]

A nice add for this boat would be a windlass anchor. Otherwise it seems like a great solution for fishing and family. Also do those fresh and raw water outlets have covers? Seems like you might run into them if they stick out like that all the time.

[leot]

Hi can you tow this boat with F150 2WD?

[bmohre]

What happened to the fuel consumption numbers?

[dayanmederos]

2024..? Where are the twin 1.9L HO engines ?

[johnpoole]

I can’t seem to find fuel info on the 255 FSH sport H w/the superchargers. Someone mentioned on another review that it requires higher octane gas? Not concerned about price, but more so availability on smaller lakes. Is something over 90 ethanol free gas required?

[superdad]

No trolling motor or power poles, otherwise looks great. What's the draft. I own a jet boat and prop boat. I love the jet the most. No worried about hitting things with prop, safer for kids.

[mojo]

Well you don't show the range at best cruise .

[trxntroll]

When using the joystick will the boat move laterally evenly?
