I rode the Q8 few weeks back not at flatwater Friday in Daytona, and I said I would never buy that hull, didn't feel right, and every turn was a fall, that might be just me.
Also rode Mike Aerial EME 1200,(great guy BTW) hands down better then Q8, pole was very close of what I like , his motor feels very powerful, and strong, that was my first time riding on a polaris motor and what I notice the powerband comes very late, and when comes you better hold on, also rode EME 900, witch was nice and OK for a 900,
KDX was my favorite pick, very nice handling hull, and the 1200 was very impressive, powerband was impressive, pump and motor combination was spot on, I rode the ski on my knee and made some turns and played a bit and couldn't find a bad hook up spot.
Superfreak with the Dasa 1200, was very powerful, and has a lot more potential, and I don't think is even fair to judge the Dasa 1200cc with others 1200 on the market now, our buddy Jason Tricky just drop in the first Dasa 1200 few days before flatwater Friday , so not much time for pump/prop/timing/grates testing, and all others been testing they product for few years,
so Dasa 1200 is doing pretty damm good in my book
this is my honest review, and that doest mean the other stuff is crap,
