    The weight difference isn't that much since Kawasaki publishes the wet weight (with fuel) and Yamaha's is the dry weight. I also looked at the VXR but had bad luck with the NanoXcel hull material...

    You have a lot of legitimate questions but unfortunately the answers you get are just going to be people's opinions. I value reliability the most because I ride in the ocean. I have a FZS and have...

    It's all relative-overall my FZS uses the same amount of fuel as my '96 Sea-Doo did. At full throttle the supercharged four strokes are thirsty but during cruising they aren't working as hard as the...

    I feel your pain-I had to have the keel repaired on my FZS and it was a lot of work. NanoXcel requires the use of the proper materials in order for the repair to last. Do a search here to see what...

    By dull I mean that at cruising speeds it feels like the boat is dragging an anchor-it just doesn't feel responsive. There is no question that it reaches the speeds quickly but when varying the...

    It looks like the original poster already bought the RXP-X but I would like to chime in with Carlos and Vince as I also have owned 2 FZRs and a '12 RXP. The comments those two have made are spot on...

    Absolutely nothing was hit. I bought a '12 FZR and the keel is also cracked in this area. I believe the crack on the FZS was there a long time and I didn't notice it until the damage had propagated...

    This report is targeting the people who have never owned a supercharged PWC and may be wondering what it takes to keep one running. I will describe the experience I had in 221 hours of...

    I use my FZS exclusively in the Gulf of Mexico and I carry a first aid kit, water bottle, and tool kit so I just load the items in the front compartment and stuff an old big fluffy blanket on top of...

    Darrin-I'll be watching this build with intense interest! Are those SST pieces to mount the hood? I'm thinking you need clearance in front of the fuel tank so you need to remove the stock hood...

    My '09 FZS developed a crack in the keel and chipped out in one area and the repair has come out twice. My '12 FZR developed a crack in the pump tunnel and is also cracked in the keel after only 45...

    I spent 11 seasons on the Pro and I agree it is a fun ride. There have been many days that I regretted selling it but it's time to move on.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking that the STX 15F will give me a riding experience that's similar to my old Pro1200. I have tried two supercharged boats and they just haven't worked out for me....
  17. Does the STX 15F handle like the old STX-R?

    I loved the handling of the STX-R when I rode it back in 2003. I'm trying to get a feel for how the new STX 15F will handle in comparison. Is it true that they both have the same hull? Would...

    Whittlebeast-

    I'm surprised that the CMD does not log or adjust timing. If the objective is to maximize HP, timing is certainly a key independent variable. When you speak of the 810 fueling...

    The seat on the '13 FZR appears to be the same as on my '12 model and I like the design because it supports you better and it places you a little lower. I also have a '09 FZS which doesn't have any...

    How does Kawasaki get away with this?

    Since I'm not happy with the FZR that I traded a '12 RXP-X for, I was at the boat show looking around and the salesman suggested a 300X. I had never considered one before. I spent hours gathering...
