Thought I share a recent Pic....A4 towing a Honda Product!
Just purchased last week Tuesday and had fun with it this Saturday at the lake! Man what a blast that F-12X Turbo WaveRunner is!
A4 has no problems pulling it with the 1.8t! Quattro is great for the ramp!

very cool ski but i'm into the 2 stroke types that destroy our environment etc. Better throttle response and lighter for getting big air over waves(yamaha GP 800 is my fav ski of all time).

Well its not as large as some, its one of the better handling skis, and its one of the fastest skis compared to the Sea-Doo SC which is much heavier. They are both about equal and speed and are the fastest skis out.

I don't think that they will be much of a challenge, but want to see how they run. I just finished the break in period. I beat a smaller Baja (~22 ft) in it yesterday.

But he had no gas and I still had 3/4 tank left. I also didn't keep pushing it since I only have 3 hrs on it right now. Break in is important and I am sure it will loosen up some more once it piles on the hours. The ski itself weighs 750 dry weight.

1) 3 seater with mirrors (mirrors required to tow a skier or wakeboarder)
2) 4 stroke technology (cleaner and less maintenance)
3) Less fuel consumption. The Honda willl only use 1/4 of a tank when the GPR or XLT will use a full tank at the same time interval and usage).

The Honda f12x is quick as fvck! Stock vs Stock,... If you go against one from a dead stop you will be looking at the back end of it as you try to keep up. It will do 0 to 65 in about 2 seconds, and then it cuts back and cruises nice and easy at 65. I'm just curious,...can you take a full turn, at top speed, without letting off the throttle, on those other skis?
Oh, and BTW, I tow both of mine with the Tahoe.

I plan on doing some mods to it in the winter time. Riva Yamaha has a nice package that increases the top speed to ~70 GPS and improves the handling.

Had it out at full throttle today, 2nd tank! What a blast it was. Smooth this morning and got it up to 60 for a short period then I slowed down. It got so choppy the rest of the day it hurt me if I went over 40 on the water! hehehe.
Oh well got 6.5 hrs of fun total on it. It was fun so far. Even had to tow a boat in because they ran out of gas.
