I am looking to buy a Seadoo Sportster. Do you know how well the 155hp engine will pull a 200lb. single skier out of the water? I am thinking about the new 215hp model but think I might not need to spend the extra money. Let me know if you have any information on comparing the 2 engines.

i just bought the 215 for that very reason - i used to struggle to get pulled out on a 135 inboard in a searay and im only 180lbs so i just went for it - having actually ridden the 215 , pavarotti and his two mates could monoski behind it!!!!

i take it you meant a mono start ????

I have the 155hp 4-tech with the tower and it pulls everybody right up even the big boys. If you are still shopping send me an email for pics of a nice 04 sportster.

Are you using the tower when you pull up a skier? If so does it pull the boat around when the skier cuts? I am talking about 1 skier on a single ski. Can you pull a skier up with a single ski using the stock ski pylon.
Thanks, Craig99

I'm not an expert but the only differance between a 155 and 215 are
60 hp / engeen power (Jet propultoin is another story!)

You will defenetly pass a 155 4 theck with a 215 4 tech....unless is mine....

The money differance and the longitivity of the motor are a big factor for me!


Now if they just make a gals buble to put over the nose that wil be great!

You can defenetly pull a 200lb person, I almost hit 300lb last sumer and trust me it draged my but really good!
