my honda throws a pretty nice wake for skating/boarding. its also pretty fast. i got the turbo, which makes a huge difference. from 40-60 it feels like your neck is gonna snap cuz it pulls real hard. i like towing with it, wish i could get a pylon made for it. my uncles malibu sunset vlx makes a pretty nice wake too, but he never lets me ride

ScottyB, I have a 04' sea-doo gtx supercharged with a rack and pylon. I have never had any problems with it and if I do it is covred under warranty for 5 years. I highly recommend getting the extended warranty and then if you have extra money you should get aftermarket sponsons for handling and put on an aftermarket air intake system and an aftermarket prop. I did that to mine and I got fifteen extra horsepower and it handls like a porsch.

this waverunner will beat the pants of the seadoos and will last you a hell of a lot longer, yamaha has more reliable engines than seadoo

I've ridden behind a few diffent skis and in my opinion headhunter's honda if the best ski I've ridden behind or drove, hands down. If I was ever to to buy a PWC there would be no question what type it would be.

Pirate is the man, You must of worked at Walts. I am going to send you a dollar for every tech question you answer, Its alot of typing to answer tech questions, or comments. Anyways, if your in the market for a new Sea-Doo, dont be scared to look at the new GTi 155, its not a wake edition, but its still does the job, and priced rite also.
