That is way cool! I've been thinking of adding a hitch so I could drag my motorcycle (VTX 1800) around with me. That way if (when) Rolling Thunder breaks down, the VTX has enough ponies and torque to pull it home. :lol:

Heh, just got them yesterday:)
They are 135 HP with fuel injection!! Brand new setup for the XP so no engine mods available at the moment. Soon though!! What I am waiting for is the 185 HP Supercharged rotax engine with the XP Hull:)

I just got a mailer advertising that 185 hp model. The mailer consisted of a closed-cell hand grip exerciser, claiming that I would need to use it before I bought one. I just sold a 115hp Tigershark. If you trimmed up the bow and nailed it the lowest part of the PWC would be 6" out of the water, the bow would be about 4 feet up. This is from a dead stop with no waves.
I can't imagine 185hp! A day on mine would mean a trip to the Chiropracter the next day. Mine was red to, but had a bit too much orange in it to match the Vette red.

It has been on there for about 10 years:) I got it at U-Haul.
Find the biggest Uhaul around your house and make an appointment. They should have it the next day. A good U-Haul installer has put on thousands of hitches..
You wont regret it. Sharks tow awesome.

Default Re: Perfect Match - GroovyJay

I am sorry to hear that GroovyJay. When you are on a small lake with alot of boats it really gets dangerous. I have been riding these XP's every year since 94. I have seen so many bad accidents. I went off a 10 foot wake in '97 and lost it, the ski landed on me and the pump put a 1/4 inch groove in my shin bone from my knee to my ankle... I also fractured 2 ribs on that one...
Best thing to do is be paranoid while riding and constantly make sure you know whats going on around you.
