The jet boats typically do not allow one engine to run in forward and one in reverse. Manuevering a jet boat in close quarters is a bit different than a traditional prop boat. To go in reverse, the impeller still spins in a direction that would push the boat forward, however a hood closes over the jet and redirects the water.
The SX210 is a decent riding boat but not made for rough water conditions. A friend has the AR210, same boat but with the wakeboard tower. He loves it. I have driven it and it was fun, but certainly not my choice if it was going to be my only boat on Winnipesaukee.
