I just sold my seadoo one of those. it did 60 with 4 people. it was alot of fun but we turned it into a couple of jetskis... they fit in our dock with our big boat better. but pretty soon we will have to get 2 docks

have you tried wakesurfing behind that baby?!?! you should be able to, no outdrive to worry about so its much like a v drive or i drive. Surfing is a blast, and its low impact! lol, theres almost no way to hurt yourself



We used to have a searay I/O and thought it did great pullin, but man once we drove a V-drive it was a whole different story. Its like driving a sports car even with 1500 lbs of ballast. It really does guzzle gas tho, the 6.2L black scorpion V8 puts out 340 hp and a whole lotta torque. we dont typically need to go over 30 mph, wakeboarding speeds about 20-25 mph. But surfing is the best, perfect pass set at 10.3-10.5 mph and just surfing right off the back
