Buy a FX SHO or FZS??????

Buying a new one soon. Don't know which one to get. I know the differences that are listed, but anything else out there that may help me make this decision? Price is almost the same between the 2.

Re: Buy a FX SHO or FZS??????

I'm a weekend rider, but like to go fast. Mix of river and lake riding. Not too big of waves in the lake, maybe 2-3 feet tops.

Pull the tube occasionally.

The big difference I can tell is in the hull design. Everything else seems to be a minor difference between the 2.

Do you do a lot of 2 or 3 up riding?

The SHO is more stable, which helps with passengers. The FZ is more nimble and leans easier. Both will handle the tube no problem. Remember the FZR is a two seater so that might complicate things if you have to have a spotter in your state. The FZS is the three seater version.

On a side note with the SHO you'll get the no wake mode and cruise control.

It really depends on how you like to ride really.

Not really. My 7 year old rides with me, but when she's on it with me the 2 are the same. I ride it pretty safely with her onboard.

I'm going to the dealer today. I'll see which one he wants to sell more. He might give me a better price on one or the other if he wants to sell it more.
