Sweet!

Now...how about that new Kawasaki??? How many horses is that thing packin? We bought a 2006 STX 15F last season. There is only one PWC on the lake that can touch it...and it's that 'SeaDon't' with 215 HP.
It's a rocket ride!

Mine is a smooth 160 HP. The new 250 X has a 250 HP engine and easily smokes me. I easily get 0-35 in about 2.5 seconds and have run 54 MPH

Mine has that same 160 HP engine. Your's has the new hull design. It'd be fun to try them both to see if there is an improvement. I hear the new one will really lay down a turn! (and I thought mine did!)

Let's go ridin'!

Yeah, I probably can out turn you, but you will be a little faster in smooth conditions. In bumpy conditions, I will be flying past you.

Mine has a real shallow draft. Great on the flats...but hang on in the chop! OUCH!

The new hull design is perfect for the chop....that's why I can still do 40 fairly easily without a lot of bumpiness. With a full tank of gas, it cuts through the chop

I was in some lake chop last weekend that nearly rattled the fillings from my teeth!

Come to think of it...mine isn't OVERLY STABLE at slow/no speeds with two or more onboard either. (Idling...that is) Is yours any better? Mines pretty tippy.
