Re: Hydrospace? Am i just not up to date?

They are like 12Grand, 4 stroke, some super complicated engine that takes a rhode scholar to put back together, did I mention they are super expensive for a standup? And thats about it.

Re: Hydrospace? Am i just not up to date?

Pros:
Fastest stock ski available
By far the best race ski stock
Easy to mod to get very good numbers
Best ski as far as hook up
No need for race fuel unless you really push it
No need for premix!

Cons:
Expensive
Next to no dealer network
Have some ticky tack issues with reliability
Heavy
Not much fun as a play ski, purpose built for racing
If you break it, you will spend a ton to fix it

If you are interested in racing and you have some technical skill with four strokes, they can be a weapon. If you are into play riding, not the ski for you.

Re: Hydrospace? Am i just not up to date?

But they do look very cool And their couch is the best looking one ive ever seen. but they are very overpriced, the highest level one with the V6 in it is probably VERY fast, but it costs like 20 grand, and all the other ones only have like 130 or 160hp engines in them, and all cost way more than an RXPX which has 255hp. The V6 one has like 3XX hp though.

Re: Hydrospace? Am i just not up to date?

You can find them used all over the US. With a little homework and a one car garage your good to go. Its a four stroke so it does require more attention to detail than a 2 stroke but its pays off in the end. Bragging rights and just plain AWww you get when people see and hear it are worth the cash. I rec ride more than race and I love it. My girl loves it more than I do. There are parts and service available Tech1 in Havasu, Dales jetsports in Garland Tx and Im sure theres more. And its a HYDRO. Everyone wants one and only a few can have them.
