If 215 horses will readily pull skier, and even can get an adult up on a slalom ski.
We have a 2005 and when it runs it is great. Unfortunately, it spends an inordinate amount of time being trailered to the dealer for repairs...
You might want to look at other posts discussing the ICS - a system which the company has apparently removed from new models because it simply doesn't work. It was poorly engineered and unreliable, and we had several occassions where it failed to retract and acted like a scoop with ski and tow ropes being pulled onto the impeller shaft. Eventually we had to have it bolted in place.
The ski locker is effective as a wet well for fish since it does not drain properly, and we had a few persons get burned by the hot water in it.
The exhaust system leaked terribly, spraying water into the engine compartment and causing recurring electrical problems...
The electrical system is still a problem and the boat will be going in to the shop yet again after this weekend, or sooner if it will not run. We thought we bought a Bombardier product (they make airplanes as well as boats, et al.) but somehow got what must be the electrical system from an MG, Triumph or some other Brit make vehicle with a reputation for reliability issues.
Love the boat, but fear we got a lemon.
