And honestly, my SXIPro which only had a prop, grate, and plate seemd to have more get up and go than this beast.
It could be this particular ski though..
Yep, it was that SXR. No SXIPRO should even come CLOSE to a stock SXR unless it was a big bore. My SXIPRO had a head, flywheel, pipe, prop, and MSD ignition and a stock SXR chewed it up...that's why I ditched it.

Agreed, Ive got both a SXR and an SXI Pro, both are stock, clean, well maintained skis and the SXR kills across the board...

09 with tbm charging flywheel, factory wet pipe, (heap pipe screws top-1 turn, middle closed, bottom 1/8.) tbm intake grate and r@d afterburner pump stuffer. carbs are dialed in--jetted properly n/s switched out to 2.0, water box is drilled, i want a new impeller just haven't figured out which one yet. this ski comes out of the hole like a rocket, she has good power every where, stays hooked, corners very well and handles chop. she is heavy and sucks the fuel down.
09 superjet all stock, d-cut stock ride plate THRUST LIGHT WEIGHT HOOD kit and rrp hand pole and duel bilge pumps. it's a blast to ride, jumping from the pig to the sj, i can ollie 3feet, or just flick it around. squirrelly up top due to the d-cut plate and i think the sxr is more forgiving because of the weight. i was shocked at the low end power the 701cc has. i have to steer more to adjust on the sj as the sxr body position is key or footing in the tray.

My foam was like 20 lbs of water log, nothing light about an sxr just well built thick hull

talking about squirrely going straight... have you try a 08 and up SJ? they are the worst. but they corner excellent like a SXR. To me they are almost like a snowboard.. need to be on edge and turning on all time.

That is exactly what I thought about the 08+ SJ's (for free riding). Bought a 09 SJ, road it once and sold it. Bought a 07 a few days later and with a few mods, I love it.
Sold my 04 SXR (Whore-Pig) a few years ago, but have been missing her lately. This post reminds me of what I miss about her and also why I sold her.
I'm looking for another one to buy. If you don't fool yourself into thinking you are dating a prom queen, the SXR's are hard to beat if used for what they are good at.
That said, I wouldn't want to sell my SJ or SXI either. They all have something to offer that the others don't.

How? They have polystyrene?

Once you get a lightweight hull, the 800 KILLS the 701 all the way through the powerband, (unless you put more mods on the 701 than the 800)

The problem I have with the sxr for my ride style is the overall mass and the pump size. Put a145 pump in it and the 800 will for sure kill the 701 mod for mod.

Apples and oranges, they are all great skis and unique in their own way.
