Love the whole package and can’t wait to drive/ski it!
As with all boats there will probably be some tweaking. I love my 200 but I would have changed several things on it. Gonna miss the open bow for our uses.
Tower for sure.
I had a tower on my LXi and loved it. The old LXi tower was a slalom/jump dream. No rope interference at all. Didn't ever notice it was there and really used it when the kids were younger. I now have a 200, the 200 tower/Bimini combo is a disaster. It is such a shame that a top boat wouldn't have a tower that would make 99% of the people happy. I only know of only one 200 with a tower. Regardless of whether the rope hits or not, the design is just wrong so I opted out of a tower. I miss it everyday.
The original boat in this thread, the thunderbird, still is alive and well on Lake Tahoe. Google it, it has quite a history. It is rentable, but pricey!
