I have owned this very model (same color too) since 2008. When I bought it I was talking with the dealer mechanic about service intervals and such and asked him how reliable they were. He told me too look at their service lot full of SeaDoos, Kawasakis, Yamahas, Polaris's, ect. No Hondas waiting for service. Nuff said!! It is a very nice, solid and dependable ski. Once a year winterization is the only service (well putting a trickle charger on the battery in the winter too) I have needed. I have 75 hours on it so far. It does tend to bounce a bit in moderatly rough water, which you learn to deal with by varying speed and direction slightly. A fair amount of power, not the fastest ski on the lake, but it will get you there quick enough. I can't outrun a supercharged SkiDoo, but at least I am at the lake everyweekend instead of at the shop! All in all, a very dependable ski and excellent value for the money. Newer models have some good design changes which have solved some of the little annoyances of this model, so if you have the bucks go for a 2011 or 2012. If I stick with a ski instead of a boat that is my plan.
