User Reviews
Not many hours yet, but loving it
By AJ Jones(Owner), Feb. 27, 2009





Pros: Very stable in the water even when not moving. The seat is perfect. After riding with the seat on this craft, I would never get one without this type of seat. Has pleanty of power and will run.
Cons: Need to re...place the mirrors. they are not adjustable and you are not able to see any towable or skier when you are at speed. but do work find when sitting flat in the water.
Was not happy with they way the dealer put the pwc on the trailer, had to move it forward (not a pwc issue) Read Full Review
