09 196

[TRBenj]

Speck, the colored platforms are new for '09, I believe.

Travis, youre not kidding about the 409. I wasnt terribly impressed with it out of the hole (it felt comparable to the Excal) but it has all sorts of power above 3500 RPM. The CorrectCraftFan boat with the same powertrain would pull to over 55 @5700 RPM... that is no joke for a modern ski boat!

What types of skiing do you do? I have a 1994, and love it for tricks. Do you or anyone out there know how the new 196's compare to a 1994 for tricks? I have slalomed behind a new one, and there is literally no wake. Only a trail of bubbles(36 MPH). I have not had a chance to trick behind a new one. There are no longer any dealers in western PA. Let us know how Zero Off works out.
