Re: What makes the '01 boats heavier than the '99s?
 

:eek_animated:
Way more ponies needed than 240.
You gotta have a lot of power/torque for that much weight plus a skier on top of that.
Add lots of money and get something in the 300-350 HP range.

Curious if the change in weights is due to having to provide the weight of the vessel ready to go. As in full of fuel, oil etc. I recall a very similar change to the way motorcycles were weighed around the early 2000's....
50 gal or fuel at 6 lbs a gallon is 300lbs plus oil weight. Who knows if the batteries are added to the equation as well.
