That would be my dream ski! I bought a new 2018 FX SVHO Cruiser and love it. One day I wish I can afford the Stage mods for it, and do the water box and external exhaust and everything else. The only mods I have done to it was put the Riva Breather Filter on it. This year I finally put JetTrim seats on it and today just added the ODI Rogue grips and the Worx end caps. I would have added the Riva Endcaps in blue, but didn’t know they existed honestly. I can’t afford to really do anything else to it right now but maybe one day I can. It took me this long to do what I did to it so far. Ever since I bought it, I have been wanting to completely do an entire Riva build to it. But that’s all it will probably be, is a dream.

Can’t believe you didn’t install your water box for another 15Hp

[@denniswilder3014]

dont like how the harness goes thru the stearing assembly should have a rubber grommet of some sort

Who cares about that couch let's talk about the real ski next to it. The superjet. That tank needs 350 hp to get it to run with that superjet haha

Ew stand up

@FaReFogo you obviously haven't rode a kommander gp1. It's easy to go 80 sitting down in a straight line but can you do it standing up? I assume not. Not very many people nowadays have the talent to ride one. That's why the snooze fest couches were made. Shit if I wanted something to fish or explore on or maybe kick back amd listen to tunes I'd just buy a boat not a huge ass pwc that is just somewhat fast in a straight line and not nimble to throw around. I like the gp's but there still a tank and when ypu got a 1.5l engine in a stand up that does 0-60 in 2.2 seconds there isn't a couch alive that can give you that thrill of doing it on a standup and then carving in a turn with your leg dragging the water
