Wydopen,
Whats the breakdown between the 07 and the 08?
As in what makes the 08 better/worse than the 07..?
I love the feeling of sliding, if 08 dont slide then I would not go near it....
they do slide. anything will slide if you ask it to hard enough. the 08 wont slide out on you when you are racing corners. its predictable, and almost always saveable. i wont BS you, it took me some practice to get it to slide 180s controlably and consistenly. i can do it everytime now to hit my set up wake. i also can get going pretty fast in the mid range and slide it to 90 and just hold a power slide for 20 - 30 feet. it will still do it dont worry. if you lean the ski left or right and try to slide it wont budge. it will throw you off before it unhooks, but if you keep the body flat and it will slide like any other.
get the 08 if you have the money. they say some things are too good to be true, but in this case you really do have the best of both worlds. ..
plus the 08 has the tubbies, the set back pump, and large hub stainless prop. if you got the 07 you would have to/ want to change the prop. the 08 prop is still working great for me with dry pipe and head. its going to find itself in my 02 sj mid-summer.
if you can. get the 08, best ski i have ever ridden. even in stock form.
