I'm considering buying a 2008 Challenger 180, but I've never owned a jet boat. I had an 18' Ebb Tide with 205 HP (4.3 Mercruiser V6) which topped out about 50 mph and could pull me out of the water on a single ski (220 lbs). Without a prop that you can change pitch on, what kind of power does this jet boat have? Anyone over 200 lbs ski with one?
