If you really want this ski, its not that bad. I will tell you that the RXT, SHO, and ultra 250 are about 5 mph faster. The Ski you want can pull a tube and is reliable. Never heard of the turbo breaking. They are fast skis I rode them down in LBI. I GPSed at 61. Its fast and reliable but if you want to be the fastest on the lake go for SHO or new RXT X
