Flip - Thanks for taking the time to give a little input. We finally got ours delivered last week and took it out this weekend with the family. I followed the reccommended break in procedure which took some time but once that was mostly done we were able to play more. We had to stay under 35 mph per lake regs and also under 8000 rpm for break in but that was ok. It is an awesome family PWC which is what I wanted. It is very stable with a lot of power and great handling. We are looking forward to a lot of fun with it! Once we get past the ownership, cleaning, storing, etc learning curve, everything will be much easier and even more enjoyable!
