Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
Anyone had a chance to check out the 2015 212X/SS yet? I think Yamaha really stepped up the quality of the upholstery this year, it really looks nice. The Seadek on the back looks awesome too.
I see they still don't know how to make carpet that fits like it should though, should have just gone full seadeck or atleast make it an option for the cabin area.

look how loose the carpet is over the gastank lid area, my 210 was the same way and flapped so bad it ripped some snaps out of the floor. it fits awful on all of the newer 21' models ive seen. they need to make seadeck a factory option over their carpet
your one of the lucky ones then, mine fit as bad as the one pictured, the only time mine layed flat was after a downpour we got stuck in one day, not sure if its their hit an miss of installing the snaps or the cut of the carpet
I think this 2015 looks really sharp inside! Carpet in my 2011 SX210 fits perfectly. One thing I wish they'd do on these boats is put in some coaming pockets in the main cockpit area. Those can be a great area to stuff a hat and shirt when it's your turn to board, a place for cupholders, etc..
What is you feedback on the Yamaha 212x as a ski boat. We had a jet boat years ago and the noise and the steering made us switch to a Sea Ray for the last 15 years. Now we were at the boat show and really like many things about the Yamaha 21 foot boat. Are they still loud, etc.
I loved my 212X. Jetboats have came a long way in maneuverability, in 2012 Yamaha came out with thrust vectoring on all models, and in 2016 Yamaha has there articulating keel on all 24' and 19' models. I've been a boater my entire life and I never noticed the noise being any louder on my 212X than any boat I've owned or been on. In 2015 Yamaha came out with quite cruise on there 24' models and it made a huge difference. Both the 212X and the 242X are great watersport boats.
