The nanoXcel shit is a bunch of crap. The Yamaha skis weigh more then the SeaDoo skis.
The new RXPX S3 is awesome. It brings back the lean in style handling that the seat suspension xpl hull had back in the late 90's early 00's with the 951 motor. Those hulls were awesome. They handled like a streetbike and with the motor in the nose they cut through ruff water worlds better then any other ski of that era. They only shitty part is the 951 engine itself was a time bomb waiting to blow.
The 4tec motor is pretty bullet proof so long as you swap the ceramic supercharger washers for metal ones. They can make huge power with a bigger blower and external intercooler. The first gen RXP hull isn't bad no where near as fun to ride as the xpl hull but the sick power more then makes up for it. The new RXPX with the S3 hull is definitely the best/most fun ski out right now in the performance segment. It's just a shame that the skis are so big these days.
