2017 S238 Engine Options

[Boulder Preston 13]

Anyone know if the H6DI is still an option on the 2017 S238? Thanks.

Yes its a $10,200 USD option (Retail). According to the option sheet I have.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the H6 is not a popular option on that boat at that price.

Thanks for the info. I live and use my 2016 S238 at 5000 ft. I paid $9K extra to get the H6DI and I am really glad I did. The opportunity to get that engine was a big part of my decision to chose the Supreme.

Their website shows the H5 as still being an option for the 2017 S238. I have the H5 on my SV233 and my lake is at 6,070' elevation and provides plenty of power with the high altitude prop.

H5 is no longer an option...the 409 has more hp and torque on paper than the H5, plus is cheaper. H6 is a ~9K upgrade over the 409 for around +40 hp/tq on paper, so I doubt that will be a popular option.

 

I'm getting the 409, but thinking about keeping the engine cover from my H5 as it looks waay cooler than the 409.

They are much better boat builders than website updaters, so don't hold your breath, ha.

I feel like there was a 409 vs H5 vs H6 battle recently...

[CO Surfer 289]

I must have missed it....

[stoked 1,039]

Haha!! There was, but it was more 343 vs H5 and the gist was that the promotional material is misleading, for the 343 and 409 it calculates the HP/torque with the transmission gearing, but the H5 was straight HP. Or something like that...

You didn't miss anything, some jerk face squashed the whole thing with actual facts and pointed out the nay-sayers were reading the material wrong

I hope he didn't recommend fender tenders that don't work to all of his fellow crew members.
