Watch buying a Honda ski, I know during the 2005-2006 the dealer I was at had a lot of issues with them coming in full of rain/water.
Check out the supercharged Kawasaki, they are pretty bad ass. Ultra 300x

Here's the winner. I have the ultra 250 supercharged, 09 model. The damn thing rips. No problems since new. 11lbs of boost an it's all fun!

i was told the chargers need a rebuild / refresh minimum of every 100 hours

either way i will keep my eyes open for any of them, when the price is right i wont be able to say no!

Earlier models this is true they used plastic washers on the supercharger that were prone to failure, but switched to a metal washer of some kind later on, their are several companies out there that make a kit to take care of the washer problems if you ended up finding an earlier model

I was about to start a thread like this. I ran a buddies Yamaha gp1300r for a season and loved it, two stroke fuel injected, now kind of looking for one myself. I have also seen a couple of the turbo hondas for sale, may be going to look at one here soon.
We have a two stroke ban coming up here at the end of the year so not sure what that will do to the ski market around here, jack up all the 4 stroke prices I guess.

Just ended up picking up an 05 kawi stx15f 3 seater. Just took it out for the first time this weekend and it rips pretty good. Read good reviews and found one down in AZ so I bought it. Just bought a tube so we will see how it tows.
