OK, enough of the PWC griping. I don't like some(many) of the operators as well. The family that owns this one has had numerous boats including a couple turbine powered cats; and accordingly, they know what they are doing.
My post was just to comment on how wild that particular ski is. If you get the opportunity to squeeze the throttle on one, DEFINITELY do it.

PWC's are fairly inexpensive and the average idiot that wants to get on the water can afford one so us boaters are always going to have to deal with them.
Idiots are idiots- on a PWC or a boat. At least PWC's (unless rigged otherwise) you have to wear lanyards and vest.

Have any of you all tried the 430 HP speedster sport boat, guy over on greenhulk has a modded one turning better than 74MPH, seems as if it gets faster every week also. I'm waiting to read the post one day that says............"My hull split wide open and I can't figure it out??"

They sure do. Especially ones that tie off to lobster pots in the hudson canyon, or anchor at night in shipping lanes. A 100'+ yacht/SF is no match for a frighter coming into NY harbor in the middle of the night.

I grew up in Annapolis, My friends and I, many others too, would get flipped off by sailboaters on a regular basis. I guess some people have to pick on somebody. You can buy tee shirts there that say "save the day, sink a sailboat"

And there is plenty of stupid big performance boaters
out there annoying people. I can't believe people
in high visibility equipment doing some of the stupid thing
I've heard of and seen.

First I'd like to say..........there is just as many "stupid" boat owners out there as it is PWC owners and operators. Its all a matter of what you like, we have two here and boats as well. We can't sit here and call every PWCer an idiot and every boat owner an idiot either, cause they both have an abundance of their own.......but to come right out and hate a PWC or its operator is wrong as hell.
Back to the subject, the RXP is a monster, my son's girlfriend has one and it is real quick. Not all sure what they have done to it, but 71 MPH in light chop is not hard to achieve by any means. The acceleration is unreal, I still like my yamahas though.
