Turbo hondas are fun fun
My uncle brought one up this weekend to our cottage. 165 HP, 3 seater, soooo much fun.
I got the thing up to 64 MPH with 2 people on it. One of the best PWC I have ridden so far.

3 seater aint so bad. I have ridden some pretty less responsive 3 seaters, and this one is very nimble. Very easy to do spins and slides, but very stable at high speeds and over waves.
The turbo kicks in pretty cool as well. At a certain RPM the thing just takes off and you get whiplash, and if your not hanging on you will fall off

To fill the tank at around $1.24 a litre for premium, it was just a little over $60, and it lasted us a day of constant use, so a full 4-5 hours of use on it. Alot better than I expected, and that was at mixed speeds, half fast and half cruisning speed (30mph)

thats really good actually, I know some of those older 2 stoke jetskis would go through $100 a day on gas, so 60 is quite good....
