I have just sold my Regal stern drive (tank), and I want to purchase something that accelarates very well, but I would also like to Ski.

How does the Speedster perform as a Ski boat (Speedster looks like great fun to drive). I am happy with the Speedster size/number of seats.

[sebster 200]

Very hard to pull a skier out of the water with four people in the boat and to steer. Not much torque but great accelaration and too much fun to drive.

Wow, wasn't expecting that feedback. Not much torque from 510 hp?? The 200 is the lightest seadoo with 510hp, so the wake must really suck at pulling skiers? Does the boat slow down a lot with a full load of passangers? Do you know if the 255hp 150 speedster has strong accelaration like the 200 510hp

I'm thinking the poster meant it is NOT hard to pull a skier with a Speedster 200...
I've spent lots of time in a 430hp 200, and even full of passengers it will rip the riders arms off if you aren't carefull with the throttles!

My little c 180 easily pulls a wakeboarder or skier out with six on board. Thats from a single engine. I'd expect the sp200 to easily do it, esp the supercharged ones.
