The SHO's have arrived!!!!!

[the gos]

I got a SHO cruiser yesterday from Riva. I was going for the RXT-X but could not resist the refinment on the SHO, not to mention the silver looks awsome. Guess I got change my name......

Congratulations. I'm sure you will love it. Can't wait to get out on mine again.

Can't wait to get out on mine again.

Out of curiosity........ How quiet/loud is the ski? Any vibration from the engine at any RPM? How does it handle cross-chop (does it track in the opposite direction of steering input). How does fuel usage seem to you?

JT, these ski's are the biggest secret since the Manhattan project. I have just about given up on getting any info until I get my own damn ski in my greedy little hands...

i had a look at an SHO up close today for the first time at the canberra cup, it was in a yami promo tent and personally i was not real impressed by it...its soooo big and its front end is a little fugly. i am so tempted to trade my 06 gpr for an rxp-x at this point in time but i am goin going to wait until the end of the year to see if yamaha can redeem themselves with a 2 seater sc'd 1800cc mofo. if they do not i will get an X series.

After seeing it in person i like the front end better than the Seadoo RXT, the only thing I'm not to keen on is how the bumper flares up. Although I may remove the mirrors for some carbon fiber block offs, does it really matter whats behind me????? Size wise these new 3 seaters handle so well it does not really mater. When your out in some large surf in the ocean, its kind of nice having some size to the boat....

I figured riding in the ocean he would want a bigger ski.

Yea those small boats are fine when you are hanging close to shore, goofing around & doing some wave jumping. But i'll take a big three seater any day to do some long cruising whether its on an ocean, river, or lakes. My friend has a 97 seadoo SPX and its fun to throw around & spin for a little while but to take long trips which I like to do, no thanks. I'm telling you if you have not rode a kawi Ultra or Yammi FXHO You are going to be surprised on how these things feel. The only reason I did not mention RXT is because I have never ridden one. JMO
