.
if your buying new, wait till next year FX SHO, nanotech hull and new 1800cc SC motor
.
my opinions
great rough water hull
tow-in surfing weapon of choice
alright enduro racer maybe
not real good for short course racin
not real good wave jumpin...too big, can't pull-it back and you'll flat land often
family cruiser on roids,,,,, great 2 up, big couch,,with the kids, towin biscuits
.
wot else ya wanna know

Thanks , great info ...
Have been told by dealer that Nano hull is out on the 08's available now , but he did not mention the 1800cc version.
Cant get the top of the line model as the raised seat back does not suit my riding style.
Looking at the FX HO brand new but 07 model ....
Any idea when the 1800 is due for release ????

appreciate the info and help thanks .

i've heard we won't be see-ing the FX SHO-Time in Oz until about March next year
.
wot type of riding are you going to be doing
or what are you going to be using it for
.
.
reason being, I ride with a bunch of guys that have paid 23K++ for big 3 seater Sea-Doo couches and now they've got into it,,,all they want to do is race around bouys and wave jump
and the big 3 seaters arn't the best for this
although the new 08 SHO-time with the lighter hull is supposed to turn really well

probabally just going to use it as a cruiser initially as partner wants to come out on it as well , we had thought about buying two then one of them could be a 'more agile' beast , but we will start with one and see how we like it .... i have found an 07 with 3 hrs on it for $16k so the price seems good.

Checked out those sites today thanks , seems the FXHO is a good choice , If i go with the O8 i get the nano hull and its 25kg lighter than the 07 ..but is $19500 out the door on trailer , so think ill settle for the 07 to start with ....

yeah 25 Kilo's lighter
800 more cc's
with a supercharger geared upto 75,000 rpm,,,they're makin-it with a small impellor so you can charger her up with an after market Cool
you'll get blitzed in a straight line drag on the 07 Vs an 08
not that that matters Razz
RXT-X is faster again
but SHO has more potential
.
.
.
but you got the right idea
buy want you want, sus-it out, buy another
just buy and sell and get what you want
that's wot i do Smile Wink
