Thanks!
Not less powerful, but in previous models if I'm not mistaken, they would add weight to counter the HP limiting the top end speed to ~80mph (which granted is still stupid fast on the water). The added weight played a role in how the hull itself was designed, and while it still has amazing displacement it seemed more "bulky" per se in basic maneuvers, where the Yamaha felt a little more agile, especially corning through an apex.

Like I said, the differences I don't think are really all that substantial for average riders just going out and enjoying the water, but for people having fun with some slaloms, I think the Yamaha performed a bit better with this. If you are considering purchasing either, you really can't go wrong either way.
